Chapter 3 Function 3-3-10 Other System Settings Initialize This function is used to delete all the setting contents in the memory and returns them to the factory default settings. If the initialization is not saved, the system operates with the previous settings at the next start-up.
Chapter 3 Function Save There is a difference in setting saving method between the operation of the panel and the use of the communications command. ● Setting Changes in Control Panel of Sensor Head Press the [ENTER] key and save the change in each item. When the system is turned ON again, the last saved settings will be reflected.
Chapter 3 Function 3-3-11 Measurement Control with External Input Timing This function makes it possible to hold the measurement value at the desired timing. The measurement value will be kept on hold with external input timing (TM). The judgment output is kept on hold as well simultaneously. Timing settings can be executed with communications command but not with the operation of the panel.
Chapter 3 Function Reset The function resets the measurement value. At the time of making a peak measurement, valley measurement, or peak-to-peak measurement with external multi input (MI), the measurement value kept on hold at the desired timing can be reset. Input a specified pulse width as multi input.
Chapter 3 Function 3-3-12 Buffering Settings (High-function type only) Buffering is a function to accumulate measurement data in the sensor head memory and load them to external control devices. A maximum of 3,000 measurement data items can be temporarily accumulated in the built-in memory of the sensor head before loading them to the external control device, such as a PC.
Chapter 3 Function Buffering Mode There are two types of buffering modes, either one of which can be selected. "Continuous Mode" is set by default. Continuous Mode • Data accumulation to the built-in memory of the sensor head start with the start of buffering.
Chapter 3 Function Buffering Rate The buffering rate can be set for accumulating the measurement data for a long duration by taking adequate sampling cycle intervals. Select from 1 (all measurement data), 1/2, 1/4, etc. to 1/65535. The buffering rate is set to “1/10” by default. If 1/4 is selected for example, measurement data will be accumulated once every four sampling cycles.
Chapter 3 Function Trigger Points When the buffering mode is set to trigger mode, measurement data can be loaded by setting the data as a trigger point at the generation of the trigger. The setting range is in a range of 1 to the "accumulated amount" of data items. The value is set to 300 by default.
Chapter 3 Function Trigger Conditions This function is used for setting the trigger generation conditions when the buffering mode is set to trigger mode. A value the same as or higher or lower than a threshold or the time of alarm occurrence or release can be set as a trigger condition if timing input is ON.
Chapter 3 Function Buffering Operation This function accumulates data while the system is in buffering operation. Set necessary parameters in advance and start buffering. • All settings related to buffering cannot be changed during buffering. • Non-buffering status cannot be set by only stopping buffering. ...
Chapter 3 Function Binary Readout of Buffering Data The accumulated measurement data in the sensor head memory can be read out. Data in a range from 1 to the readout result of the last data point is specified and read out.
