The USM 25 enables a direct printout of data, for example a report including the echo display and the instrument settings.
To do this, select the printer driver in the function PRINTER (function group CFG1) and just press the Y key after having initialized and activated the printer. The data selected by you in the function COPYMOD (function group CFG1) are printed.
For more details on this, please refer to chapter 6. Data exchange

Data exchange
Connecting a printer or a PC
You can connect the USM 25 to a printer or a PC using the special Krautkramer cables:
PC: UD 20 (25-pin) or UD 31 (9-pin) Printer: UD 31 (Seiko DPU) or UD 32 (Epson) Please refer to chapter 2.
The data transmission parameters are fixed in the USM 25 and cannot be changed:
Baud rate: 9600 Word length: 8 data bits Parity: none
The settings on the USM 25 apply to most of the printers and PCs. To ensure a perfect communication, please check the settings of the connected peripherals and adjust them to the parameters of the USM 25.

Remote control
You can use a connected PC for the remote control of the USM 25.
The data transfer is carried out by means of a remote control program and the corresponding remote control commands. These commands represent instructions referring to the individual functions of the USM 25. The program Crosstalk can for example be used as remote control program under DOS. In Windows based systems it is possible to use e.g. the Terminal pro- gram.
After the remote control program has been started and the program interface has been configured, the com- mands are input via the keyboard of the computer. In this connection, please observe the following differen- tiation:
• Interrogation of a value or state of a USM 25 function using the command structure: <ESC><COMMAND> <RETURN>
Remote control
The USM 25 transmits the value of the current setting.
• Entry of a new value or state of a function using the command structure:
<ESC> <COMMAND> <SPACE> <VALUE> <RE TURN> All values are entered or transmitted by the USM 25 without a comma or a point. The resolution of the function should therefore be observed with all values. The resolution of a function applies to the entire value range of that function.
A resolution of 0.01 means:
The USM 25 transmits the value of a function multiplied by the factor of 100. The entry of a value must be done multiplied by the factor of 100.
Examples
• Setting of the display delay to 72.39 mm: <ESC>dd 7239 <RETURN>

• Setting of the display width to 72.3 mm: <ESC>dw 7230 <RETURN>
• Setting of the display width to 192 mm; <ESC>dw 19200 <RETURN>
A resolution of 0.1 means:
The USM 25 transmits the value of a function multiplied by the factor of 10. The entry of a value must be done multiplied by the factor of 10.
Example:
• Setting of the gain to 51.5 dB <ESC>db 515 <RETURN> A resolution of 1 means:
The USM 25 transmits the value of a function without multiplication. The entry of a value must be done without any multiplication.
Example:
• Setting the response threshold of gate a to 41 %: <ESC>at 41 <RETURN>
