10 1-1 Types of External Output
RN1-4696.01
1-1 Types of External Output
You can connect LSC-8000 to other devices to use system's output functions to export measurement data to the devices. Three types of external output are supported: via RS-232C, USB, and Ethernet.
(1) RS-232C Output
We also provide the data acquisition software (Code: RPR-LSC-584B) for acquiring, viewing and analyzing the measurement data. The measurement data can be exported to a computer running data acquisition software by connecting LSC-8000 to the computer via an RS-232C cable. The data files exported can then be viewed and analyzed using the data acquisition software.
(2) USB Output
Measurement data can be exported in CSV file format to USB flash drives connected to the system. The data files exported can then be viewed and analyzed using commercially available spreadsheet software.
(3) LAN Output
Measurement data can also be exported in CSV file format to the shared folders of computers connected to the system via an Ethernet cable. The data files exported can then be viewed and analyzed using commercially available spreadsheet software.

Measurement data can be exported to the shared folders of computers connected to LSC-8000 via an Ethernet cable. No additional software is needed.
To protect the equipment from the threat of computer viruses, limit connections to the local network. For details of Ethernet connection, see Section 3-2.
To avoid infecting LSC-8000 with computer viruses, connect the system to computers in the following kinds of networks. Computers running antivirus software that are not connected
to external networks
Computers protected by firewalls to prevent unauthorized
access from external networks

1-3-2 Exporting Measurement Results
All sample measurement data is saved on the equipment's internal hard disk. The stored measurement data can be exported to a PC via an Ethernet connection or to a USB flash drive.
Data files can be exported using the File management function on the Control/Calibration menu. For details of how to use the file management function, refer to the Operation Manual, Section 8-9.
Pressing the Output button on the File management screen will display a File Output screen.
1. Output button
This button becomes available once you have selected at least one item in the Select column. Although multiple items can be selected, this increases the time required for output of data files. We recommend selecting no more than five items, because other operations are not possible during data file output.
Select desired items in the Select
column and press the Output button.

2. Output format Select the file format when exporting via USB or Ethernet.
3. Output data Select the type of data file to export via Ethernet or USB.
cpmdpm: Export only cpmdpm data files, without spectrum data files.
With this option, a smaller amount of data is exported than when exporting all data, which enables many data files to be exported in a short period.
Spectrum: Export only spectrum data files, without cpmdpm data files.
Because spectrum files are larger than cpmdpm data files, exporting takes
some time.
All: Export both cpmdpm data files and spectrum data files.
As with the Spectrum option described above, exporting will take some time.
4. File name Specify the file name when exporting via Ethernet or USB. Note that the number of characters available for the file name is determined by the output type selected in 2.
Type 1: Up to 6 single-byte characters. Spectrum file names are three characters or less. (If you specify four
characters or more, the extra characters will be truncated.)
Types 2 or 3: Up to 20 single-byte or 10 double-byte characters. (Alphanumeric characters
and French or Chinese supported.)
* The following characters are illegal characters in Windows. Do not use these characters in
file names. ( ¥ , / , : , * , ? , " , < , > , | )
5. Output destination Select the destination for the data files. Select either USB or LAN. (Both destinations cannot be selected at the same time.)
6. OK button Exports data files according to the information specified in steps 2 to 5.
7. Cancel button Discards information specified in steps 2 to 5 and cancels output of data files.
Only Type 1 output is available for results from preparing correction
curves, validation, normalization, and automatic calibration. In this case, Types 2 and 3 cannot be specified.
If the measurement data with Print format unspecified is exported in
the Type3 format, the data is exported in the default Print format.

RS2
For exporting all measurement data and measurement conditions.
RS3
For selecting desired parameters of measurement data in RS2 items to export. The order of output can also be freely selected. Selection and order of parameters follows the MyNo. conditions print format settings.
When you plan to export data via RS-232C, enter any measurement condition notes using single-byte characters. Be aware that double-byte characters may cause character corruption.
