Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this HIOKI "9335 WAVE PROCESSOR". To get the maximum performance from the unit, please read this manual first, and keep this at hand.

Trademarks Microsoft and Windows, Windows Vista, Microsoft Excel are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and other countries.

Notes on Use

In order to ensure safe operation and to obtain maximum performance from the unit, observe the cautions listed below.

Always hold the disc by the edges, so as not to make fingerprints on the label side or scratch the printing. Never touch the recorded side of the disc. Do not place the disc directly on anything hard. Do not wet the disc with volatile alcohol or water, as there is a possibility of the label printing disappearing. To write on the disc label surface, use a spirit-based felt pen. Do not use a ball-point pen or hard-tipped pen, because there is a danger of scratching the surface and corrupting the data. Do not use adhesive labels. Do not expose the disc directly to the sun's rays, or keep it in conditions of high temperature or humidity, as there is a danger of warping, with consequent loss of data. To remove dirt, dust, or fingerprints from the disc, wipe with a dry cloth, or use a CD cleaner. Always wipe radially from the inside to the outside, and do no wipe with circular movements. Never use abrasives or solvent cleaners. In the interests of ongoing product developments, there may be minor discrepancies between screen displays and the operating instructions, and in the data conversion process. HIOKI cannot accept any responsibility for the results of using this product.

The following symbols are used in this Instruction Manual to indicate the relative importance of cautions and warnings.

File

2. Select the desired file to load and click the "Open" button.

About waveform settings files

Closing the loaded waveform file (by clicking the close button at the upperright corner of the main window to close all windows) automatically creates a settings file (".hps" file extension) under the same name as the loaded file in the same folder containing the loaded file. Opening the waveform file will now load the settings file automatically, with the saved settings reflected in the loaded file, provided that a settings file with the same name exists in the same folder. If you do not want to load these settings, manually delete the settings file.

Halting waveform drawing

The system may require some time to redraw waveforms representing large amounts of data. To abort waveform drawing, press the Esc keyonthe keyboard. Click the "Update" button on the toolbar to redraw the waveform window.

Loading large files

Very large waveform files may not be loadable by Windows due to limited system resources. In such case, close all other active applications, then try reloading. Depending on the specific configuration of your computer, you may still be unable to load the waveform file.

1. Print format

Set the format of detail print. The formats "

1Graph" through "16 Graphs" correspond to 1-screen through

16-screen settings made when printing to the MEMORY HiCORDER's built-in printer. The graph is divided into 1 to 16 smaller sections, and the channels set in each of such graphs are printed. (the channel to which the graph belongs depends on how the graph was set on the screen when divided.) In the formats "

2rows" through "16 rows", the graph is printed on a specified number of

lines wrapping around at the end of each line. The range of waveforms (in the time-axis direction) that can be printed in one page can be extended. But the greater the number of rows, the smaller the number of logic waveforms printed. (Waveforms with small position numbers have priority.) The formats "XY1" through "XY4" correspond to the XY1 screen through XY4 screen settings entered when printing to the MEMORY HiCORDER's built-in printer. The synthesis waveforms set in each of graphs one to four are printed. (The correspondence of synthesis waveforms to graphs depends on how the graph was set in the screen when divided.) "Portrait"and"Landscape"setthe print orientation.

2. Print range

Select the waveform section to print. If you select "

Display

" the section currently displayed on the screen is printed. For "All" all sections set in "Set Waveform Display Range"forthescreenare printed.

Selection

For "

" you can select a print range from any section, from choices "Head", "Tail", "Cursor A", or "Cursor B". Unless both cursors A and B are displayed, you cannot select "Selection".

3. Time-axis zoom

If you select "Same to screen" the waveform is printed with the same magnifying factor as the graph being displayed on the screen. If the print range does not fit onto one page, the waveform is printed on multiple pages. If you select "Fit to page" the time-axis magnifying factor is automatically adjusted so that the print range fits in one page. If you select "each 1 DIV"or"each 5 DIV"in"New Page" setting, pages are changed every 1 DIV units or every 5 DIV units, respectively. You cannot select this setting if the time-axis magnifying factor is set to "Fit to page".

4. Specify margins, Set 1 DIV to 1 cm

If you select "Specify margins" you can specify the left, top, right, and bottom margins in mm units. The graph is shrunk when printed, according to the set dimensions of margins. Because the grids are adjusted to square shapes when printing XY waveforms, margins may become larger than you set. If you select "Set 1 DIV to 1 cm" grids are printed in 1 cm units.

* Depending on the printer used, the waveform may not fit in the printable

range, and edges may not be printed. Please note that grids can be printed in 1 cm units only with A4 or A3 paper sizes. When printing to other page sizes, select "Specify margins" and set the margins before printing.

5. Margins

Set the Left, Top, Right,andBottom margins in mm units.

6. Grid type

Select the type of grid from the choices "OFF", "Standard", "Detail", or "Time-

". (When printing XY waveforms, you can select "OFF", "Standard", or

axis

"Detail".)

7. Gauge/0 Position comment

For the type of gauge, you can select "Upper/Lower", "Detail", "0Pos

comment

", or "U/L + 0pos". If you select "Upper/Lower" only the upper/lowerlimit values on each channel are printed. Although there are many channels, the gauges can be compact. If you select "

Detail" the upper/lower limit values

and each scale value are printed. Since one gauge per channel is printed, the greater the number of channels, the narrower the print range of the waveform. For "0 pos comment", comments are printed in the zero position of each channel. For "U/L + 0 pos", both upper/lower-limit values and comments are printed. For "Max", set the maximum number of detail gauges you want to attach to one graph. If the graph contains more channels than set here, a set number of detail gauges is printed in the order of channel priority, starting with the highest. However, depending on the selected print format, the number of detail gauges printed may be fewer than that set.

8. Channel marker

Specify how the display mode for the channel markers for the analog, pulse and logic waveforms to be printed. Select "

OFF

CH Number

", "

", or "

Comment

". If a comment character string is not set for a channel although "Comment"is selected, "CH Number" is printed for that channel.

9. Header

Specify the information you want to include in the header. Select "Measurement Info", "Info. + Title Comment", or "Info. + File Name".

10. Channel info.

Specify whether you want to print channel information (e.g., range and display magnifying factor). Select "ON"or"OFF".

11. Marker Value
