ANT-5 Result Documentation, Export and Printing Guide.
Measurement results are an important feature of customer reports, and therefore a quick and
easy method of capture becomes necessary.
There are a number of ways in enabling result documentation to file, paper or in PDF format.
This manual will guide you through the different methods of documenting the test results.
Here are the different methods:
1.) Export of results into a CSV (comma separated value) format with a following transfer to
a PC (for example using hyper terminal).
This export file format (CSV) can also be applied to all other methods.
2.) Direct printout using a serial printer like Citizen PN-60.
3.) Direct printout using a serial to parallel converter (type: Betterbox Communications)
JDSU order number K 1589.
4.) Transfer of results/configurations to PC using CF-card (compact flash)
5.) Transfer of results/configurations to PC using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) method.
6.) Transfer of results/configurations to PC using the remote operation option.
