Can I output data sheet in softcopy?

Category : 

Answer

Yes, data sheet can be output to a storage device (SD card/USB drive) in PDF using PDF output feature.

 

Output directory

\Access folder\LIST\Year-month folder\year-month-day folder

 

* By specifying a subfolder, it is also possible to output data sheets
   to any folder under \Access folder\LIST\.

 

Setting location

An example of creating a time-stamped PDF file
in \Access folder\LIST\(year/month folder)\(year/month/day folder)
on an SD card is explained below.

 

  1. Click [System Setting] → [Hardware Setting] → [Printer] → [Printer Properties]
     → [Data Sheet Setting], or click [Home] → [Registration Item] → [Data Sheet]
     → [Edit] → [Data Sheet Setting].

     
  2. Select the [Use PDF Output Function] checkbox in the [Data Sheet Setting] window that appears.

     
  3. Configure the following settings.
    • [Print Data Sheet No. Setting Device]: D00100
    • [Overwrite]
    • [Append timestamp to filename]
    • [PDF Output Drive]: SD

       * Selecting the [Command Device] checkbox allows the data sheet output
          destination and output method to be changed in RUN mode.
          
          When using the STA_LIST macro, select the output destination and
          whether to add a time stamp using $s1656.
          The contents of $s1656 is the same as the device memory selected for output.

      * A filename can be specified by selecting the [File Designation] checkbox.
        (Maximum of 64 one-byte alphanumeric characters)

      * The output destination folder can be specified by selecting
         the [Designate the sub-folder name] checkbox.
        (Maximum of 64 one-byte alphanumeric characters)


       
  4. Configure the [Printer Control Device] settings located at
    [System Setting] → [Hardware Setting] → [Printer Properties].
    The printer control device is the device memory that acts as the trigger for PDF output.

 

Output method

Command from a device memory for printer control
  1. Store the first page number of the data sheet and the number of pages
    for output using [Print Data Sheet No. Setting Device].
      D00100 = 1: First page number
      D00101 = 5: Number of pages for output

     
  2. Turn ON the bit 0 of [Printer Control Device].
      D00010-00 bit: ON

 

Page numbers 1 to 5 of the data sheet screen are output to a PDF file.

 

Command with macro

Example) PDF output with time stamp, filename: TEST, pages 1 to 5 of data sheet screen

Execute the following macro.
    $s01656 = 1 (W)                    Bit 0: PDF output destination
    $u00100 = 1 (W)                    First page
    $u00101 = 5 (W)                    Number of pages for output
    $u00102 = 'TEST' (STRING)          Filename
    SYS (STA_LIST) $u00100
