send data directly to a printer from an RT system

[idrisi]

forgive my ignorrance here, I have tried searching for this but could find any similar posts.

we currently have a PXI RT system which sends data via the datasocket server to a host PC which is connected to a printer, in the event of an alarm generated by the PXI system an error log is printed by the host PC which contains some timestamp details in text. this config works fine.

i woudl like my PXI RT system to print text data dirctly to a printer connected to the PXI controller unit, is this possible ?

please advise

thanks in advance

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to do this. You will probably have to format the data into some form that the printer will understand. Obviously you will need to establish a connection to the printer via whatever connection it is using. The specific printer you are using will determine what the actual data should look like.
