Y-T View, Y-T Expanded View, Digital View, Report View are available. A large, easy-to-see screen is the characteristic
of this unit.
Y-T View
This graph shows data with the input
signal levels on the Y-axis and the time
on the X-axis. It can display a waveform
and digital values of each channel at the
same time. The control icons in the lower
part of the screen allow you to scale up
and down the time axis, X-axis, etc. This
graph can be displayed in two or ve split
screens, each showing different signals.
Y-T Zoom View
Displays waveforms along an expanded
time axis while hiding digital values.
Digital View
Displays digital values of each channel
in a large, easy-to-read numbers.
Report View
Displays the report results (daily report)
in real time when the report function is
enabled.

Large icons make it simple and easy to control the waveforms. Time axes, spans, waveform positions can be changed
easily. Also, you can maximize a window to t the screen.
Multichannel Measurement1-3.
A maximum of ten device with multiple devices connected. (maximum of 500 channels)
Displayed waveforms can be grouped, and you can select and check a desired waveform among many of them
(up to four groups can be set per device).

Export to Direct Excel File Function1-4.
Captured data can be exported directly to an Excel le and displayed as graphs.
Ready-to-use template les are provided as standard for your convenience.
(Note: The Microsoft Excel program must be installed.)
Thumbnail Waveform Display1-5.
Before replaying captured data, the waveforms can be checked by referring to the small images (thumbnails) provided
next to each le name. These thumbnails provide easy conrmation of the data before opening the le.
CSV File Batch Conversion1-6.
Data captured in binary les is converted in a batch to CSV les.
6
Calculation functions1-7.
The available calculation functions are Statistical Calculation and Calculation between Channels.
Statistical Calculation allows you to check the maximum, minimum, and average values of all the channels as numeric
values.
Calculation between Channels allows you to set four arithmetic operations between channels up to four at the
maximum and check the results as waveforms.
Printing Function, Screen Save Function1-8.
The waveform screen can be printed out on a printer, and screen copies saved to a le.
(Note: To use the printing function, the device must be connected to a printer.)
Send Email when Alarm is Generated1-9.
When an alarm is generated, this function enables a notication email to be sent to a mobile phone, for example,
thereby ensuring that a check can be performed if required.
(* You need an environment in which e-mail can be transmitted. The mail send function is available only during
capturing. No mail is sent even if an alarm is generated during the Free Running status.)
Help Function1-10.
Help buttons that provide simple descriptions of the various functions are assigned to each of the menu setting items
to provide ease of use.

Operating Procedure14.
This chapter describes the basic operating procedure.
The operating procedure starts with the software and the device in the connected status.
For the connection procedure, see Section 9, "Connecting to a PC (Personal Computer)".
The settings that are not addressed in the following sections are the factory default settings.
Capture Settings14-1.
Description
1Settings related to
AMP
2Settings related to
data capture
After connecting to the device, press the "Capture Settings" button on the main screen.
CH1: Input = TEMP, Range = TC-K, Filter = Off, Scaling = Off
CH2: Input = DC, Range = 1V, Filter = Off
Set to other channels to Off.
Sampling Interval = 1sec
Device Capture Destination: Internal Memory
PC Capture Format: Binary Data
14-1-1.
The settings for CH1 and CH2 are made according to the setting options. Set other channels to "Off".
Settings related to AMP
53
14-1-2.
The settings related to data capture are made according to the setting options.
• Select the "Data Capture Settings" tab.
• Set "Sampling Interval" to 1sec.
• Sets the device capture setting of this unit to On.
• Set "Format" of "PC Capture Settings" to "Binary Data(GBD)".
Settings related to data capture
With the above setting, data is saved to the internal memory and PC at the sampling interval of 1 second.
54
Start14-2.
Click the "Start" button to start capturing actual data.
14-2-1.
If Off is selected for the waveform "Scroll" button during a data capture operation, past data can be viewed.
The scrolling operation will be halted, enabling past data to be displayed in the scroll bar.
Moreover, moving the cursors enables the cursor level values to be viewed.
To return to the waveform scrolling operation, click the "Scroll" button once again.
Displaying Past Data during a Data Capture Operation
55
Stop14-3.
Click the "Stop" button. Data capture stops, and the device returns to the Free Running status.
When capture ends, the screen automatically switches to the replay status.
Replay Data14-4.
Replays data captured to the PC or this unit. Data captured using either this software or this unit can be replayed. The
formats supported for replay are binary data (GBD) and text data (CSV).
This section describes replaying binary data captured to the PC and performing basic operations.
14-4-1.
In the "File" on the main screen, select the "Open Data".
The screen to select a le opens. Select a le from the location where it is saved, and press the "Select".
Replaying File
56
14-4-2.
The selected le is read, and the waveforms are displayed.
Waveform display
14-4-3.
During replay, two cursors A and B are provided and can be moved to any position in the waveforms.
You can drug the cursors on the waveforms to move them.
Also, you can use the icon of the scroll bar to move them.
Also, if the rectangle shaped button which is located at left/right edge of the scroll bar, the scroll is done in 1 div step.
Cursor Operations
57
14-4-4.
A comment can be input at the position above the desired channel of cursor A.
The input comment will be saved even after a le is closed. Next time the le is open, it is displayed in the same
location.
(Only when the data is captured to the PC).
Select the "Comment" icon.
Here, we will input a comment "Check" above the waveform for CH1.
After you input the string, press the "Input" button.
Now, the comment is input.

Search is performed to check the location where data is above/below the specied value. Then, a cursor and
waveforms are moved to the location.
Here, we will search for a rising signal and the location above 0V for CH2.
Select "Move/Search" icon.
Data Search
1. Set CH to CH 2.
2. Set the search conditions to "Hi" (rising signal).
3. Input 0V.
4. Press the "Next Search" to search the current cursor in the forward direction.
The location above 0 V is located, and cursor A and the waveform are moved.
