1.Outline of the F395

1-2. Waveform Drawing Procedures

The F395 can provide waveform displays of signals from a strain gauge type sensor and
displacement sensor. The waveform display procedures are as follows.
(See "7-4. X/Y-axis Setting by Operation Mode and Input CH" P41.):
1. Connect a strain gauge type sensor (and displacement sensor) with the F395.
(See "4-1-1. Analog Input / Output Connection" P21.)
2. Perform calibration. (See "5. Methods of Calibration" P31.)
3. Set each parameter for waveform display.
(See "9. Method of Starting Measurement" P43, and "16-2-9. Level Axis Select /
Waveform Start Level / Waveform Termination Level / Hold Start Level" P113.)
4. Check to see if a waveform is displayed for the set conditions.

1-3. Multi-Hold Procedures

In the Multi-Hold mode, necessary points are detected in the displayed waveform to
make a judgment such as a High/Low Limit Comparison. Up to 32 channels of Hold
types, High and Low Limits, etc., can be stored, which can be switched by external
signals. The procedures for using the Multi-Hold function are as follows:
1. Check to see if a waveform is displayed in accordance with the waveform drawing
procedures. (See "1-2. Waveform Drawing Procedures" P3.)
2. Select a hold function so that necessary points in the waveform can be held. (See "10-
3. Hold Functions" P48.)
3. Carry out Multi-Hold settings. (See "16-2. Each Setting Item" P103.)
4. Select the channel number(s) you want to control externally. (See "4-3. Control
Connector Connection" P25.)
5. Input T/H and H/M signals in accordance with the selected hold function, and check to
see if operation is performed as set. (See "10-3. Hold Functions" P48.)
3

1-4. Hysteresis Procedures

In the Hysteresis mode, go and return waveform variations with displacement are
sampled, and necessary points in the displayed waveforms are detected to perform
controls such as a High/Low Limit Comparison.
This function is almost the same as the Multi-Hold function except for the return
waveform sampling function by hysteresis interval (See "16-2-14. Hysteresis Interval"
P119.), displacement on the X-axis, and the maximum sampling rate of 2kHz.
1. Check to see if a waveform is displayed in accordance with the waveform drawing procedures. (See "1-2. Waveform Drawing Procedures" P3.)
2. Select a hold function such that necessary points in the waveform can be held. (See "10-3. Hold Functions" P48.)
3. Carry out Hysteresis settings. (See "11-2. Setting and Operating Method" P64.)
4. Select the channel number(s) you want to control externally. (See "4-3. Control Connector Connection" P25.)
1.Outline of the F395
5. Input T/H and H/M signals in accordance with the selected hold function, and check to see if operation is performed as set. (See "10-3. Hold Functions" P48.)

1-5. Hysteresis 2 Procedures

The Hysteresis 2 mode is the same as the Hysteresis mode except for the hold operation.
At the point of displacement where a pulse is input, High/Low Limit Comparison of the
go measured value, and High/Low Limit Comparison of the difference between the go
and return measured values are performed.
1. Check to see if a waveform is displayed in accordance with the waveform drawing procedures. (See "1-2. Waveform Drawing Procedures" P3.)
2. Carry out Hysteresis 2 settings. (See "12-2. Setting and Operating Method" P65.)
3. Select the channel number(s) you want to control externally. (See "4-3. Control Connector Connection" P25.)
4. Provide a load to the strain gauge type sensor / displacement sensor, input START and HOLD 1 ~ 3 signals (See "4-3. Control Connector Connection" P25.), and check to see if operation is performed as set.

1.Outline of the F395
1-6. Waveform Comparison /
Waveform and Displacement Comparison Procedures
In the Waveform Comparison / Waveform and Displacement Comparison mode,
waveform variations with time / displacement are sampled, and a High/Low Limit
Comparison is performed based on the sampled waveform.
A sequential comparison can be performed with respect to dynamic waveform
variations.
The procedures for performing a Waveform Comparison / Waveform and Displacement
Comparison are as follows:
1. Check to see if a waveform is displayed in accordance with the waveform drawing procedures. (See "1-2. Waveform Drawing Procedures" P3.)
2. Carry out Waveform Comparison / Waveform and Displacement Comparison settings. (See "13-2. Setting and Operating Method" P68.)
3. Select the channel number(s) you want to control externally. (See "4-3. Control Connector Connection" P25.)
4. Provide a load to the strain gauge type sensor (displacement sensor), input START and other signals, and check to see if operation is performed as set.

5. Methods of Calibration

5-1. What is Calibration?

Operation of matching the F395 and sensor is called "Calibration".
For the F395, there are two methods of calibration as follows:
Equivalent input calibration
By this method, calibration is performed by simply inputting the rated output value (mV/
V, V, mA) of the sensor and the indicated value by keypad without using an Actual Load.
Calibration can easily be performed even if an actual load is not prepared.
Actual load calibration
By this method, calibration is performed by giving an actual load (displacement) to the
sensor and inputting the actual load (displacement) by keypad. Accurate calibration with
few errors can be performed.

5-2. CH1 Input Calibration and CH2 Input Calibration

Perform calibration with respect to each of analog input CH1 and CH2. CH2 may be set
for measuring the X-axis (displacement input). (The axis in current use is displayed in
the Axis setting under CH2 Input Calibration.)

6.Settings and Operations Relating to Indicated Values
Digital Zero can be operated only when the Set Value Protection setting is either "CAL. Protect" or "All Protect," or the LOCK switch on the rear panel is ON. Also, the displacement input value cannot be zeroed by the above methods. It is automatically zeroed when sampling starts if the Level Axis Select setting (See "16-2-9. Level Axis Select / Waveform Start Level / Waveform Termination Level / Hold Start Level" P113.) is "Y-axis" in the Hysteresis / Hysteresis 2 / Waveform and Displacement Comparison mode with the above condition met. (See "13-5. Waveform and Displacement Comparison Mode" P74.)

7.Measurement Operation Functional Settings
About advance waveform display
When the operation mode is Multi-Hold or Waveform Comparison, a waveform is displayed gradually without waiting for completion of taking­in of the waveform by setting the sampling rate to 100Hz or 200Hz.
The display rate changes according to the X-axis scaling. This function simply handles waveform data, and hold points are displayed after measurement. The previous waveform is dismissed when the next measurement starts. (The waveform can be read.) Advance display is not carried out unless the main screen is displayed when a measurement starts.

7-3. Sampling Reset

If CH1/CH2 input calibration, Operation Mode, or PUI setting (optionally mounted) is
changed, the F395 stops sampling, and moves to a sampling waiting condition.
At this time, the results of hold / comparison are also reset.

9. Method of Starting Measurement
The following conditions should be met for the F395 to display input signals from the
strain gauge sensor as a waveform on the screen and start measurement. (For details of
input and output signals, see "4-3-2. Input and Output Signals" P25.)
i. The START signal turns from ON to OFF.
ii. The input signal crosses over the Waveform Start Level.
(Only "i." when the signal "Capture start by external signal" is ON.)
Waveform drawing ends when the STOP signal turns ON, or when 2048-point sampling
is exceeded, or when the input signal crosses over the Waveform Termination Level with
the signal "Waveform termination level operation" ON.
The relationship between the input signal, START / STOP signal, and waveform drawing
(sampling) is as shown in Example 1 ~ 5 below.
Example 1
* If a HI or LO alarm is given at the same time when waveform capturing ends, the
waveform is registered in the Rejected Waveform Area.

awaited. Therefore, waveform capturing finally starts at "E".
Example 5
* If the signal "Capture start by external signal" is ON when the START signal turns
from ON to OFF , waveform capturing starts immediately irrespective of
whether or not the input signal crosses over the Waveform Start Level.
45
9.Method of Starting Measurement
The minimum pulse width of START/STOP is Ts+0.8msec.
(Ts: 1-sampling interval. See "7-2. Sampling Rate" P40.)
Operation when the STOP signal is input
 - WAITL status cancel
If the STOP signal is input in WAITL status, the status is forcedlyshifted to STOP status (sampling is not performed).
 - WAIT2 status cancel
If the STOP signal is input in WAIT2 status, the status is shifted as follows:
1. If the waveform has already crossed over the sampling start level, the level edge is cancelled by the first STOP signal, and the status is shifted to STOP status (sampling is not performed) by the second STOP signal.
2. If the sampling start level has not been crossed, the status is shifted to STOP status (sampling is not performed) immediately after the STOP signal is input.
After waveform capturing ends with the STOP signal or excess of 2048 points, etc., approximately 300msec or more are required until the next START signal becomes acceptable.

10-1. Function

In the Multi-Hold mode, necessary points are detected in the displayed waveform to
make a judgment such as a High/Low Limit Comparison. Up to 32 channels of hold
types, High and Low Limits, etc. can be stored, which can be switched by external
signals or can automatically be switched by using the Auto Code Up function. Detected
hold points are displayed on a graph with a "+" mark.

10-2. Setting and Operating Method

1. Set desired value(s) [0 ~ 31 (32: all channel number selection)] under Channel
Number Selection in Code Setting, and set each item such as the High and Low
Limits.
2. Input the channel number(s) set in "1." by using channel selection signals (CODE 1
~ 16) to set operation channel(s).
3. Sampling can be performed with the value(s) set in "1.".
4. By also inputting set value(s) to other channel number(s) in "1." beforehand,
sampling can be performed under various set conditions by switching operation
channels (CODE 1 ~ 16) during sampling.
Example
47

10-3. Hold Functions

Switching operation channels during sampling will result in the following operation.
1. Data of the Judgment output signal (LO1,OK1,HI1) will be
accumulated and output by (LO 2 , O K 2 , H I 2 ).   
2. The judgment operation is internally reset once, but it is not necessary to cross over the Hold Start Level again for in Inflection Point Hold, etc.
Ts is a sampling interval [msec].
(Ts=1.0 at 1kHz, and Ts=5.0 at 200Hz for example.)
The High/low Limit Judgment output is determined within
0.8msec after the COMPLETE signal is determined.
10.Multi-Hold Mode
Points are taken out of waveforms to make a High/Low Limit Comparison by the hold
functions, including Sample Hold, Peak Hold, Valley Hold, Peak-to-peak Hold, Relative

10-3-9. Four Types of Inflection Point Hold

Detection starts when the H/M signal is input and the indicated value crosses over the
Hold Start Level. Detection is performed while the H/M signal is ON. The COMPLETE
output is made immediately when there is a minute slope. Therefore, if the Judgment
output is taken in immediately after the COMPLETE output is made, correct results may
not be able to be obtained as is the case with the peak hold.
Take in the Judgment output after determination of the hold by turning off the H/M
signal. The hold can be cancelled by turning on the T/H signal as a reset signal.
Each inflection point hold is explained by the method in "16-2-12. Minimum Slope
Detection Value / Slope Detection Interval A / Slope Detection Interval B / Preliminary

For the High/Low Limit Judgment output, the result of judgment of the
latest input pulse is output to " LO1,OK1,HI1", and the results of judgment of all input pulses are accumulated and output to " LO2,OK2,HI2".
General of the hold functions
The delay times for the Judgment output and COMPLETE do not include the delay time in the analog circuit (low-pass filter). Also, calculations have been made with no digital filter. Since the Judgment output and COMPLETE output are made with respect to analog-filter- and digital-filter-processed values, the transfer of signals becomes slow and the delay of each output increases as each filter is strengthened.
When Pulse Hold is selected by the operation ch at which sampling starts, the main
screen in graphic display is as follows.
High and Low Limit Graphs are displayed according to the pulse position.
The results of measurement are displayed from the left in the order of pulse input.
When no pulse is input, the result of measurement is displayed as "-----."

11. Hysteresis Mode

Sampling waveforms are shown by the solid lines. The hysteresis return output is turned ON when the return waveform sampling starts, and is turned OFF upon its completion. (See "4-3-2. Input and Output Signals" P25.

The hysteresis return output is turned on.

Hysteresis interval Hysteresis interval
The return in this period is ineffective.
If the operation ch is switched and any hold point occurs in the hysteresis return retrieval period (*), no "+" mark is displayed when the waveform is displayed.

11-1. Function

In the Hysteresis mode, go and return waveforms changing with displacement are
sampled, and necessary points in the waveforms are detected to make judgments such as
High/Low Limit Comparisons.
The maximum sampling rate is 2kHz. The operation is almost the same as in the Multi-
Hold mode except for displacement on the X-axis, go and return samplings, and the
maximum sampling rate of 2kHz.

between go and return measured values (go - return) on the displacement points where
external pulses are input.
The operation is the same as in the Hysteresis mode except for the holding method and
the High/Low Limit Comparison method.

1. Sampling is the same as in the Hysteresis mode. (See "11-2. Setting and Operating
Method" P64.)
2. Measure the High and Low Limits.
Go measured value comparison: Uses the High Limit / Low Limit. Between-go-and-return difference comparison: Uses the HI-HI Limit / LO-LO

each Pulse Input, the target channels are fixed as
HOLD 1: operation ch, HOLD 2: operation ch+1, and HOLD 3: operation ch+2.
(When the operation ch is 31ch, the target channels are fixed as HOLD 1: 31ch,
HOLD 2: 0ch, and HOLD 3: 1ch.)
Also, the input / output specifications of each signal are the same as in Pulse Hold
(See "10-3-10. Pulse Hold" P62.) (The results of difference judgment are output when
the return displacement point=go pulse input displacement point.)

HI-HI Limit / LO-LO Limit Comparisons are not made.
If the operation ch is changed during measurement, the measurement is

Each measurement will not be carried out until sampling starts.
Measurements are carried out with the Select Analog CH setting for the
operation ch at which sampling starts. The Select Analog CH setting for operation ch+1/operation ch+2 is ineffective.
Do not input any pulse within the hysteresis interval because the result is
not judged normally.
No judgment is made if no pulse is input during go.
A difference judgment is made when the pulse-input displacement value
is reached during return measurement. (If two or more pulses are input at the same displacement point during go measurement, judgments are made by giving priority as pulse 1>pulse 2>pulse 3.)
Use of the Auto Code Up mode allows pulse input by the X-axis
measured value set under Code Up Point. (See "16-1. Method of Setting the Operation ch" P100.)

13-3. Waveform Sampling Procedures

Waveform sampling can be performed efficiently by the following procedures. (It is
assumed that the F395 has been calibrated.)

therefore perform operation in "10." after "3." and "4.".
3. Set "Waveform Start Level" and "Waveform Termination Level" at the desired ch (0 ~

6. When the waveform is displayed on the screen, decide the scaling, etc., so that the full
waveform is properly displayed by "Waveform Reading".
7. Move the pointer cursor to the end of the waveform, and examine the length of one
cycle of the waveform.
8. Decide the sampling rate most suitable for the input waveform.
(Maximum data of one waveform) ÷ (Length of one cycle of the waveform [sec])
The frequency obtained by this expression is the most suitable sampling rate. When
the above waveform is taken for example: 2000 ÷ 6 sec.=333.33Hz
The closest value under this frequency is the most suitable sampling rate. (It is 200Hz
for the F395.)
9. Select the most suitable value based on the above calculation under "Sampling Rate".
10. Before waveform sampling, execute "Waveform Clear" first.
11. Execute "Waveform Sampling".

14. For repeating sampling to set the ranges of the High and Low Limits, repeat the
operations from 11. When two or more samplings are performed with the F395, the
upper limit of the waveforms obtained by sampling becomes the High Limit, and the
lower limit becomes the Low Limit.
15. Upon completion of sampling, set the area for High/Low Limit comparison under
"Area Setting". Set the start point / end point of the comparison area.
16. Edit the sampled waveform as necessary. Set the point under "Waveform Editing",
and rewrite the graph under "Select Edit". High and low limits can be set for the
waveform within the specified range in a unit of ± % or ± indicated value, and a
new waveform can also be made by drawing a line tying two points.
17. Register the waveform under "Waveform Save". Up to 16 sampled waveforms can be
saved from 0ch to 15ch, which can be used for high/low limit comparison by calling
with external selection signals.
18. The registered waveform can be called and edited again. The waveform called here

13-4. Waveform Comparison Mode

In this mode, High/Low Limit Comparisons are made with waveforms changing with
time. High/Low Limit comparison values of approx.
2000 samplings can be stored per channel, so that sequential comparisons can be made in
the set area.
If the input waveform is within the range surrounded by the High and Low Limits, the
accept signal is output, and if the waveform is out of the range, the High or Low Limit
signal is output. (Red "+" mark display will result.)
Up to 16 pairs (ch) of High and Low Limit Waveforms can be stored, which can be
switched and controlled by external selection signals as desired.
When the results of measurement are displayed on the graph, the High and Low Limit
Waveforms are displayed only in the comparison area.

13-5. Waveform and Displacement Comparison Mode

In this mode, High/Low Limit Comparisons are made with waveforms changing with
displacement. The operation is the same as in the Waveform Comparison mode.
However, since the X-axis is not a factor of time but input from a displacement sensor,
there are restrictions as follows:

13-5-1. Scale of the X-axis

The full scale of the X-axis is determined by the displacement value (mm, etc.) input by
Equivalent Input Calibration or Actual Load Calibration. (See the item P.37.) Inputs
greater than the above cannot be displayed. The internal resolution is approx. 1/2000.
Also, displacement input values are automatically digital-zeroed with a sampling start
under CAL. Protect when the Level Axis Select setting (See "16-2-9. Level Axis Select
/ Waveform Start Level / Waveform Termination Level / Hold Start Level" P113) is "Y-
axis". (See "6-4. Digital Zero" P39.)

13-5-2. Handling of Sudden Changes

In the case of sudden changes (9 counts or more) in the amount of displacement in the
one-time sampling interval, High/Low Limit comparisons are not made each time.
Comparisons are madeas they are thinned out in accordance with a specified rule.
As a result, the waveform may be displayed as follows:
74
13.Waveform Comparison / Waveform and Displacement Comparison Mode
Actual input
Captured and displayed waveform
During sampling, displacement values are measured by peak hold.
Therefore, even if the displacement is restored, the measured value of the peak point of displacement is processed. (Displacement values are measured by valley hold during return measurements in the Hysteresis / Hysteresis 2 mode.) When two or more samplings are performed at the same displacement point, if any measured value is off the High/Low Limit Waveform, the peak/valley value at that time is recorded (taken later if off both the high and low limits), and if values are not off the waveforms, the last measured value is recorded.
Samplings with 0 or less displacement values are all processed as
displacement=0.
Occurrence of thinning-out/ WARNING is shown by changing the color of
the displacement measured value display as follows (upper left of the main screen). (Both return to normal conditions when the START signal is input.)
    Thinning-out ........Yellow
    WARNING ..........Red
Sampling is terminated when the displacement value exceeds the full
scale value or the STOP signal is input. For the full scale value of
displacement, see the item P.37.
When HI and LO are output by forced termination, judgment operation is
not performed
The "0" periods are thinned-out periods. The
wider the loss interval, the sharper a change
occurs. In this case, the WARNING signal is
output (turned on) through pin 48 of the
control connector due to a failure of a perfect
comparison with all data. Slow down the
displacement changing speed to prevent the
WARNING signal from being output. The
WARNING signal is cleared when the
START signal is input (turned on).

13-5-3. Updating the Amount of Displacement

If the amount of displacement is not updated for the number of samplings set under
Forced-Termination Limit (See "16-2-15. Forced-termination Limit" P120.), sampling is
terminated forcedly. At this time, HI and LO are also output simultaneously if the
Forced-Termination Output setting (See "16-2-16. Forced-termination Output" P120.) is
"ON".

13-7. Hold Operation

In the Waveform Comparison / Waveform and Displacement Comparison mode, any one
of hold operations: sample hold, peak hold, and valley hold can be executed
simultaneously. Simultaneously with the Waveform Comparison Judgment, a High/Low
Limit Judgment can also be made with the hold point.

13-7-1. Operation and Operating Method

Example:
When peak hold is executed
78
13.Waveform Comparison / Waveform and Displacement Comparison Mode
Hold is detected over the period from the start to the end of sampling (at sampling-
time). Hold detection is performed only at sampling-time.
The hold detecting method is the same as in the Multi-Hold mode (using the T/H
signal).
The hold state is maintained even after completion of sampling by keeping the T/H
signal ON. (The hold can be cancelled by turning off the T/H signal.) Also, the hold is
reset by the timing of starting the next sampling even if the T/H signal is kept ON.
For High/Low Limit Judgment with the hold point, the HI-HI Limit / LO-LO Limit
setting is used, and the results of judgment is output to LO2/OK2/HI2. (For hold
operation and judgment of the hold point, the inhibit timer is effective.)
COMPLETE is output with respect to Waveform Comparison / Waveform and
Displacement Comparison. Therefore, check the results of Judgment of the hold point
at the end of sampling and by the timing of turning off the T/H signal.
The hold point is displayed with an orange "+" mark on the graph (the last one point
only). HI-HI Limit and LO-LO Limit lines are not displayed.
By turning on the input "Display after measurement", the last sampling value is held
even without hold operation, but no "+" mark is displayed on the graph.
When hold operation is not performed, real-time High/Low Limit Judgments are made
on the sampling value with the HI-HI Limit / LO-LO Limit.
For details of the main screen, and waveform reading / rejected waveform reading
screen, see "2-1-1. Touch Panel Type Color Liquid Crystal Display" P7.

13-7-2. Setting Method

1. Set "Channel Number Selection" in "Code Setting" to the same operation ch as used
for measurement.
2. Set the HI-HI Limit / LO-LO Limit judgment to "Hold". (If set at "Sampling ", real-
time Judgments on the sampling value will result.)
3. Set the hold to any of "Sample Hold", "Peak Hold" and "Valley Hold". If the hold is
set at "None", real-time High/Low Limit Judgments on the sampling value with the
HI-HI Limit / LO-LO Limit will result.
4. For High/Low Limit Judgment of the hold point, set the HI-HI Limit / LO-LO Limit.
(See "16-2-7. High Limit / Low Limit / HI-HI/LO-LO Mode / HI-HI Limit / LO-LO
Limit" P109.)

13-8. Un-passing Area Output

If the Un-passing Area Output setting (See "16-2-17. Un-passing Area Output" P120.) is
"OFF", the OK signal is not output when sampling does not pass the comparison area.
Since the judgment output is not made until sampling enters the comparison area in this
case, if it ends in an un-passing state, all of the HI, OK and LO outputs are turned off.
80
13.Waveform Comparison / Waveform and Displacement Comparison Mode
When the setting is "OFF"
The result of the previous judgment is cleared when the START
signal is turned on.
No output will also result if sampling starts after the end point.

Measurement display upon completion of comparison can be selected by the input
"Display after measurement" from the following.
(See "4-3-2. Input and Output Signals" P25.)
1. Input "Display after measurement" ON: The last value is held.
(The held value is canceled when the next sampling starts.)
2. Input "Display after measurement" OFF: Real-time display.

MODE Wave Sampling Wave Call
No pass/fail judgment can be made on the waveform as it is called up here. For making a judgment, the waveform should be stored under "14-4-4. Waveform Save" P91, and further the ch should be input externally (See "13-3. Waveform Sampling Procedures" P69.)
MODE Wave Sampling Clear
High limit waveform: Set to -9999 (Not including the decimal point.) Low limit waveform: Set to 9999 (Not including the decimal point.)
The operation is executed by pressing the key.
The waveform data for comparison from channel 0 to 15 that have been registered inside is not cleared.

14-1. Waveform Call-up
