• Avoid dropping the EA-200 and subjecting it to strong impact. • Do not store the EA-200 or leave it in areas exposed to high temperatures, humidity, low temperatures, or large amounts of dust. Low temperatures can shorten battery life.
AC adaptor Using the Soft Case English About the EA-200 The EA-200 is a digital device that makes it possible for you to sample data connected with Data communication cable everyday natural phenomena. (SB-62) Data You Can Sample with the EA-200 Various different sensors can be used with the EA-200 to sample temperatures, light, voltage, distance, and other data.
Replace batteries as soon as possible after the low battery indicator lamp (Batt) lights. The EA-200 may start to malfunction if you continue to use it while battery power is low. • Be sure to replace the batteries at least once every two years, no matter how much you use the EA-200 during that time.
If you start to experience serious operational problems with the EA-200, use a thin, pointed Data communication object to carefully press the P button on the back of the EA-200. Note, however, that pressing cable the P button deletes all data currently in EA-200 memory. Proper operation does not resume after you press the P button, remove its batteries, and then replace them correctly in accordance with the instructions on page 0-3 of the User’s Guide.
English Supported Probes A probe is a sensor that connects to the EA-200 for sampling temperature, light, and other data. The EA-200 comes with the three probes described below. • Voltage Probe ... Measures voltage in the range of –10V to +10V.
5 Press the EA-200 [START/STOP] key. • This puts the EA-200 into sampling mode. • Sampling ends in accordance with the sampling conditions configured in step 4. 6 Sample data is sent from the EA-200 to the calculator in response to a Receive command. English...
When sampling is complete, press the calculator’s w key to restart the program. ^ ^ (Disp command) causes processing to stop until you press the w key. (4) Sample data from the EA-200 is received by the calculator. Receive (List 1)_ Record Time data is received and stored in List 1.
(7) Press [START/STOP] to output the sound recorded with the microphone. English Status Request This function can be used to fetch the current status of the EA-200. To use Status Request List 1_ Sends Command 7.
• Any channel that is not being used is skipped automatically. Group Link Function A single EA-200 can be used to connect one “MASTER” calculator to up to seven other “SUB” calculators to distribute programs, data, etc.* Note, however, that you cannot have the following calculator models connected to the EA-200 at the same time.*...
