Printing

Printing crimp measurement data is done from the menu screens on the Crimputer. Part of the crimping procedure gives the operator the option of printing. The Crimputer software allows the operator to print 0, 1, 2, or 3 copies.

Printing the database of "DVDT" (Delta Vertical Die Travel) values can be done by selecting the "UTIL" menu and then selecting the "PRINT" option on the Crimputer display screen. Either the original database or the adjusted database can be selected. Only these values which have been adjusted will be printed from the adjusted database.

For additional information on the items that can be printed, refer to Operation Manual, NEHS0754, "Setup and Operation of the 145-7042 and 146-5861 Crimputer Groups ".
