HI everybody,

I need to find a different way to print with the 2110 at our facility. We can only get it to print with older printers. Anybody had any luck with newer printers or another method?

Thanks, Sean

Sean,

You need the free VirPrint program from CSI. The analyzer is connected to PC and then start program. Get any display on 2120 and then press Print key to transfer screen image to PC. The screen images can then be printed or copy-pasted to MS Word or other program.

Does it work with the 2110? I thought on the 2120 you have to select the VirPrint as the printer to get it to work. I'll look into to it though. Thanks.

I double checked. No option to select a printer on the 2110. Any type of device that prints directly to a pdf file?

Sean,

I had a 2110 for quite a while. I remember that I could not eaxctly "print" to the PC, but it was really a screen display program that I used a lot for conducting training programs. It was called PC2110.exe or something like that. It probably laying around on a 3.5" or 5.25" floppy disk. I made a special RS232 comm cable with both Accelerometer and Voltage inputs so I could show live data on large screen projector while running a rotor kit with simulated defects!

Sean,

That analyzer belongs in a museum, not a repair shop

I know, I know, lol. But it never seems like it is important to upgrade until there is a problem. Ebay still has some old printers, but they're starting to get scarce.

I thought that, just the users in my country, still continue to use CSI Model 2110.

It is intresting to hear some others at USA also.

Do you know some other brand vibration analyzer still using nearly 20 years?

CSI Means Reliability

Analyzer and analyzer, we still get BP filter analyzer vibrometers for repair that is nearly 30 years old and the customers nearly cry when we in some cases can´t repair their faithful tool. I am thinking of doing a modern BP filter vibrometer since it´s a handy tool. I still got a 2100 that can do balancing... I think 2100 and 2110 can be repaired long time since it´s conventional long lived technology. It´s only a few years ago we got a question on repair of a Nicolet "mini" FFT that fell out of a truck and we had to say that we recycled the spares we had some 5 years earlier. So this is not telecom and thank you for that. Olov

It still does what we need it to do. Take spectrums, and print them for the customer. The printing part is what's killing me. I know soon I'll have to come up with a solution. I hope it is not parting with the analyzer. Printers are so much cheaper.

I have a model 720 printer interface, made in 1987. It worked with the 2100, I think. I am not sure about the 2110. I could part with it. Has been sitting on my desk for a very long time! Does anyone know if it works for a 2110? Of course, I don't know what kind of printer it would drive these days. This thing attaches to the serial port and attaches to the serial portion of a parallel printer cable.

I have that adapter. You need it to print from the 2110. It's just finding old printers is getting harder. I'm hoping to find some other solution. Thanks.
