If a printer is attached to the PCM-2 and if this field is "YES", a report of each
measurement cycle is automatically printed. If this field is "ALARMS", the
report is printed only after an alarm has occurred during the measurement cycle.
An initialization string sent to an attached parallel printer just prior to printout of
PCM-2 reports and data. NOTE: A character pitch of no less than 12 cpi is
necessary for printing the PCM-2 Calibration Report.
A string identifying a directory path for day file logging. See "Day File Logging"
at the end of this section for more information.
If a printer is connected to the PCM-2, this setting determines the set of character
and control codes used. The printer type is only important when printing graphics
such as high voltage plateaus.
The instrument is removed from service to update background information after
the specified number of measurement cycles. If there is time between users to
obtain background counts, this forced update will not be required. Entering a
value of zero disables this function.
Setting this field to "YES" forces the PCM-2 to update its background counts after
every measurement which results in an alarm. This detects contamination left on
the detectors.

Midway Results?
A "YES" value causes the PCM-2 to display contamination detected during the
first measurement cycle. "NO" requires users to complete both measurements
before any results are displayed.
