4.7 Communications terminals
These terminals are for the communications interface (option). For details of the connection, refer to the instruction
manual for the “Communications Interfaces” provided separately.
When your recorder is with the communications interface of RS-232C, three terminals of SD, RD and SG are
used but any control signal is not used. General personal computers are controlled by control signal. Wiring
processing for control signal in a connector depends upon how the control signal is used in a personal computer.
For details, refer to the instruction manual for your personal computer.

(Note) Input exceeding the measuring range or printing range is printed as an over-range.
Cautions on Programming and Reference
2
Read the following cautions and reference items. The programming flow charts are described on the next page.
1) Minimum printing range
Read the “minimum printing range” on Section 22.1 (Input Specifications). A programming error occurs if the
minimum value and the maximum value are set to the same figure.
2) Position of decimal point
The printing range reflects to the
scale value. The decimal point
position on actual display/printing is
fixed by the range No. selected. For
changing it, refer to the scale
programming.
Range No.

0 to 200 0 to 200 0.0 to 200.0
0.0 to 800.0 0.0 to 800.0 0 to 800
3) When “Range/Printing range” is changed, the last scale value becomes ineffective and is replaced with the
new printing range.
4) Channel for subtract printing
Different range programming procedure is required. Read Section 11.4 (Programming Subtract Printing).
5) Programming a same range to other channels
The [copy] function is useful. Read Section 11.14.
6) Scaling
Printing range reflects to the scale value. For scale programming to the channel with voltage input, read
Section 11.2.

11.2 Scale
“Scale” programming is necessary to display a voltage input from a converter, etc. with an actual scale. However,
the scale is programmed with the same characteristic scale (not linearized scale) as the voltage input. This
programming is also necessary when the decimal point position is changed in thermocouple or resistance
thermometer input channels. Press and simultaneously in the operation screen to display the
SCALE
“scale” programming.
Concept of scale programming
Programming Scale
1
This is the actual scale (physical quantity) programming for
the printing range being programmed in the [Range/Printing
range].
Printing range will be copied
2
When programming the [Range/Printing range], the printing
range is copied to the programming value of the scale.
If the scale copied from the printing range is used, the decimal
point positions programmed by the printing range are neglected
and the measured values with decimal point positions fixed by
range number are displayed. The following table shows the
cautions to be observed according to the input types.

Voltage ranges Temperature ranges
Scale programming is not required when the scale is
equal to the printing range. They are copied to scale
programming, but be careful with the decimal point
positions for the scale. See item 3 .
Since the printing range is copied to the scale, no
programming scale is necessary, but the decimal point
position of the measured value is fixed by the range
number. For changing the decimal places, refer to 3 .
