EXTERNAL
STORAGE
PERIPHERALS
External datf
storage devices
are
used to
provide
a
data transfer
medium that the user
can carry
from
the
test
site
tO
the
tab
and
to supplement
the internal
storage capacity
of the
21X, allowing
longer
periods
betvveen
visits to the
site. The
standard data
storage
peripherals
for the 21X
are
the
cassette
tape
(Sectiott
4.3)
and
the Storage
Module
(Section 4.4).
Output
to a
printer
or
related device
is also
possibte (Seption 4.5). These
peripherals
are connected
to
the 21X through
the I
pin
serial connector.
Data
output
lo
a
peripheral
device can
take
place
ON-LINE
(automatically,
as
paft
of the
21X's
routine
operation)
ol
it can
be
MANIJALLY
INITIATED. On-line
data
transfer
is accomplished
with
lnstruction 96
or
with
the
"1
Mode
(Section
4.1). Manual
initiation
is done in the
*8
or
*9
Modes
(Section
4.2).
Regardless
Qf
the method,
the
source
of any data
transferred
is Final Storage.
A modem
isSnother
type
of
peripheral
that can
be connected
to the 21X.
Communication
via
a
modem
(Telecommtlpications) is discussed
in Section
5.
The
21X output
data
to
multiple
peripherals
(i.e.,
a
tape
recorder,
modem, and
Storage
Module
could all
be
at
the same
time). However,
only one cassette
recorder and
only
one modem
may
be to
the
2lX at any
one
time. lt is
possible
to connect two
Storage
Modules, although
it
is seldom
The

or
not a 5M192
or 5M716
Storage
Module is
present.
When
lnstruction 96
or

is used

to one
of these
Storage
Modules,
the
21X will not send data
if the
Storage
connected
(Section
4.4.2).
