• If you select 1P3W, 3P3W, 3P4W, or 3P3W(3V3A) for the wiring system, the wiring unit is set with the two
or three elements adjacent to the selected element whose element numbers are larger than the selected
element.

• On models that have four elements installed, up to two wiring units (ΣA and ΣB) are automatically set. The
wiring unit symbols ΣA and ΣB are attached to the element numbers in order, starting with the smallest

number.

IM PX8000-02EN

Note

• Because the wiring system with the largest element number is automatically determined according to
the settings of the wiring system with the smallest element number, the element with the largest element
number cannot be selected.

• You cannot set the wiring units for larger element numbers before the wiring units for smaller element
numbers.

CAUTION

If the input coupling is AC, in accordance with the frequency response, the input signal is attenuated
more in lower frequencies. As a result, even when a high voltage signal is actually applied, it may not
be measured as a high voltage signal. Furthermore, the PEAK OVER message may not be displayed
on the screen. As necessary, switch the input coupling to DC to check the input signal voltage.
Applying an input signal whose voltage exceeds the maximum input voltage of the AUX
module may damage the input section.

ATTENTION

Si le courant du couplage d’entrée est alternatif (CA), conforme à la réponse en fréquence, le
signal d’entrée est davantage atténué aux fréquences plus basses. Par conséquent, même si
vous appliquez un signal de tension élevée, ce dernier risque de ne pas être mesuré comme
tel. De plus, le message de dépassement de plage (PEAK OVER) risque de ne pas s’afficher à
l’écran. Le cas échéant, basculez le couplage d’entrée sur CC (courant continu) afin de vérifier
la tension du signal d’entrée.
Si la tension du signal d’entrée dépasse la tension d’entrée maximale du module AUX, la
section d’entrée risque d’être endommagée.

Setting the Trigger Mode (Mode)

Auto: If the trigger conditions are met within 50 ms, the PX8000 updates the displayed waveforms

on each trigger occurrence. If not, the PX8000 automatically updates the displayed
waveforms. If the time axis is set to a value that would cause the display to switch to roll
mode, the roll mode display will be enabled.

AutoLevel: If a trigger occurs before a timeout (which is approximately 1 second), the PX8000 updates

the waveform in the same way that it does in Auto mode. If a trigger does not occur before
a timeout, the PX8000 automatically changes the trigger level to the center value of the

trigger source amplitude, triggers on that value, and updates the displayed waveform.
Normal: The PX8000 only updates the waveform display when the trigger conditions are met.
Single: When the trigger conditions are met, the PX8000 updates the displayed waveform once

and stops signal acquisition. If the time axis is set to a value that would cause the display

to switch to roll mode, the roll mode display will be enabled. When the PX8000 triggers, it

begins recording data. When data has been acquired up to the amount specified by the set

record length, the waveform display stops.
SingleN: The PX8000 acquires signals each time the trigger conditions are met until a specified

number of signals have been acquired, and then displays all of the acquired signals. If no

triggers occur, the display is not updated.
On Start: Regardless of the trigger settings, when you press the START key, the PX8000 updates the

displayed waveforms once and stops signal acquisition. If the time axis is set to a value that

would cause the display to switch to roll mode, the roll mode display will be enabled. When

data has been acquired up to the amount specified by the set record length, the waveform

display stops.
