Main Features1.

A Variety of Display Formats1-1.

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.
4

Simple and Easy to Use1-2.

Group 1
All
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4
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).
5

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 conrmation 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 notication 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.
