Signal to be measured

Chapter 1 What the Acquisition Software Can Do

1.1 Overview of This Software

The Acquisition Software is used to connect to an SL1000 via the USB interface or the optional Ethernet interface and record and display data that the SL1000 has measured. The Acquisition Software allows you to do the following:

• Set measurement and record conditions of an SL1000.

• Start and stop measurements on an SL1000.

• Start and stop recording.

• Display waveforms of the measured data, cursor values, and waveform parameters.

• Synchronize the operation of up to eight linked SL1000s.

• Start the Xviewer (accompanying software) and display waveforms of data saved in the past (excluding the /XV0 option)

Signal and Data Flow

The signal and data flow between this software and the SL1000 is described below.

Display Data

P-P compression data that the SL1000 creates for displaying waveforms. The data is sent to your PC in unit of measuring groups. For a description of display groups, see section 1.5.

Measured Raw Data

All the measured data that the SL1000 acquired. The data is sent to your PC in unit of measuring groups to save the data on the hard disk of your PC. For a description of measuring groups, see section 1.2. The data is used in data analysis such as cursor measurements and waveform parameter computations.

Current Value Data

The current values that the SL1000 calculated. The data is sent immediately upon a request from your PC.

Signal to be measured

1.1 Overview of This Software

Measurement and Recording

This software refers to the task of acquiring measured data into the internal memory of an SL1000 as measurement and the task of saving the measured data that has been acquired to the internal memory of an SL1000 as files on your PC’s hard disk or the internal hard disk of an SL1000 while making measurements as recording. The measured data acquired in the internal memory of an SL1000 is cleared when the power is turn ON/OFF or when measurement is resumed. The waveform screen of this software displays waveforms of measured data acquired to the internal memory of an SL1000 after applying P-P compression.

After the measurement stops, all the measured data acquired in the internal memory of an SL1000 can be saved as a single file on your PC. This task is referred to as saving not recording in which data is saved while the measurement is in progress.

Connecting to an SL1000

The USB can be used to connect your PC directly to an SL1000 or the optional Ethernet interface can be used to connect to an SL1000 over the network. Only a single SL1000 can be connected to a single PC.

Note

• Remove the USB or Ethernet cable that is connecting the SL1000 to the PC only after you

have exited the Acquisition Software or after you have disconnected the communication

between the SL1000 and the PC.

• In the default setting of the SL1000, the DHCP function is turned ON. You can immediately

connect an SL1000 to your PC by connecting the SL1000 to a network with a DHCP server.

• An exclusive driver is necessary to connect using the USB. If an SL1000 is connected

to your PC via the USB, an installation wizard starts. Install the driver according to the

instructions on the screen. For details, see section 2.3, “Installing the USB Driver.”

• You cannot connect both Ethernet and USB interfaces simultaneously to an SL1000.

You cannot connect to the SL1000 that this software is connected to via USB, using the

accompanying Xviewer (excluding /XV0) application nor using FTP.

• When connecting an SL1000 to the PC, disable the PC standby mode. If it is enabled, the

connection between the SL1000 and the PC may be disconnected.

The slave units’ external clock input, external trigger input, trigger output, and alarm output are invalid.

Synchronized Items

• Measurement and recording start and stop

• Clock

Slave units synchronize to the master unit’s external or internal clock.

• Time (The time of the slave unit is synchronized with the time of the master unit.)

• Triggering

The AND or OR logic of the master unit’s external trigger input and slave units’ trigger

sources.

When the SL1000 triggers, the trigger signal is transmitted from the master unit’s

trigger output.

• Alarms

The AND or OR logic of the slave units’ channel alarm conditions or the OR logic of

the slave units’ system alarm conditions.

When an alarm occurs, an alarm signal is transmitted from the master unit’s alarm

output.

Measuring Mode

There are two measuring modes: Free Run and Triggered.

Free Run Mode

Data is acquired immediately upon starting a measurement. The SL1000 continues to acquire data until the measurement is stopped. The measured data can also be recorded to the hard disk of the SL1000 or your PC at a specified time or when an alarm occurs. The following functions are not available in Free Run mode.

• GO/NO-GO function

• Automated measurement of waveform parameters

• Zoom on a particular section of the waveform

Triggered Mode

After starting the measurement, the SL1000 acquires data when a trigger condition is met. After acquiring data over the specified measuring time, data acquisition stops. You can also record the measured data acquired in Triggered Mode to the hard disk of the SL1000 or your PC. If Triggered Mode is used, you can perform automated measurement of waveform parameters and zoom in on waveforms. For details on triggers, see section 1.6, “Triggering.” The following functions are not available in Triggered Mode.

• Channel alarm

• Recording start and end condition settings

What the Acquisition Software Can Do

Acquisition Mode

Normal Mode

Envelope Mode

When acquiring measured data in the internal memory of the SL1000, it is possible to perform processing on data and display waveforms based on the processed data. The following three types of data processing are available.

In this mode, measured data is acquired without special processing.

If measuring at a sample rate lower than the maximum sampling rate of each input module, the SL1000 samples data at 100 S/s internally, determines the maximum and minimum values among the measured values over each sample interval at the specified sample rate, and acquires them as pairs. This mode is effective when you want to avoid aliasing because the sample rate is essentially kept high. It is also effective when you want to detect glitches (pulse signals which rise very fast) or display an envelope of a modulating signal.

1.3 Measurement Settings

Box Average Mode

Input modules with a maximum sample rate less than 100 MS/s cannot acquire data at certain points even if the internal sampling rate is 100 MS/s. The data at points that cannot be sampled will take on the same value as the previous measured data. Envelope Mode has no effect if measuring at a sample rate higher than the maximum sample rate of the input module.

This mode is available on the 701250 (HS10M12), 701255 (NONISO_10M12), 720210 (HS100M12), 720211 (HS100M12), and 720250 (HS10M12). In this mode, the SL1000 determines the moving average of the data sampled at the maximum sample rate and acquires and displays the resultant data. Box averaging is effective in eliminating small amounts of noise from the input signal. It can also remove noise from a single-shot signal.

Clock Source

Internal Clock

The sampling timing of the measured data is controlled using the clock signal (internal clock) that is generated from the internal time-base circuit of the SL1000.

External Clock

The sampling timing of the measured data is controlled using a clock signal applied externally. This mode is available when the acquisition mode is set to Normal. The external clock input is useful for observing a signal whose period varies or for observing waveforms by synchronizing to the clock signal of the signal being measured. The maximum frequency that can be used for the external clock varies depending on the module.

720210, 720211: 5 MHz 701250, 701251, 701255, 720250: 1 MHz 701267, 701270, 701271, 701275: 100 kHz 701281, 720281, 720268: 1 MHz 701261, 701262: 100 kHz when measuring voltage 500 Hz when measuring temperature

701265, 720266: 500 Hz If an external clock that exceeds the maximum frequency is applied, the data is sampled at the maximum frequency, and the measured data at times when data cannot be sampled is set to the same value as the previous sampled data. When using an external clock, the time axis unit becomes the number of measured points, not time. Therefore, the measuring time is set and the cursor measurement values are displayed in terms of the number of measured points.

1.3 Measurement Settings

Sample Rate and Sample Interval

You can set the sample rate or sample interval for each measuring group. The sample rate (the number of samples per second in unit of S/s) is related to the sample interval as follows: Sample rate = 1/sample interval The maximum sample rate varies depending on the module. If you set a sample rate that exceeds the maximum sample rate of a module, data cannot be acquired at the specified sample rate. The data at times when data cannot be acquired is set to the same value as the previous acquired data.

Note

If the sample rate of measuring group 1 is set to 50 MS/s, 5 MS/s, 500 kS/s, 50 kS/s, 5 kS/s,

500 S/s, or 50 S/s, the sample rate of other groups cannot be set to the next lower sample rate.

For example, if the sample rate of measuring group 1 is set to 500 kS/s, the sample rate of

other measuring groups cannot be set to 200 kS/s (the next lower sample rate).

The SL1000 can display waveforms correctly for frequencies less than one-half the sample rate as defined by the Nyquist sampling theorem.* * If the sample rate is comparatively low with respect to the input signal frequency,

the harmonics contained in the signal are lost. In this case, some of the harmonics will appear at low frequencies due to the effects described by the Nyquist sampling theorem. This phenomenon is called aliasing. You can avoid aliasing by acquiring waveforms with the acquisition mode set to envelope.

Input Coupling

If you want to measure only the amplitude of an AC signal, measurement is easier if the DC component is removed from the input signal. On the other hand, there are times when you want to check the ground level or measure the entire input signal (both the DC and AC components). You can change the input coupling setting to meet your application needs. By changing this setting, the way in which the vertical control circuit (voltage axis) receives the input signal is switched. The following types of input coupling are available.

The input signal is directly coupled to the attenuator of the vertical control circuit. Select DC if you want to measure the entire input signal (DC and AC components).

AC (Only When Measuring the AC Voltage)

The input signal is coupled to the attenuator of the vertical control circuit through a capacitor. Select AC if you want to measure only the amplitude of the AC signal, eliminating the DC components from the input signal.

Probe Attenuation and Current-to-Voltage Conversion Ratio

For voltage (current) measurement, a probe is normally used in connecting the circuit being measured to the signal input terminal. Using a probe has the following advantages.

• Prevents disturbing the voltage and current of the circuit being measured.

• Applies the signal with no distortion.

• Expands the measurable voltage (current) range of the SL1000.

When using a probe, the attenuation setting on the SL1000 must be set equal to the probe attenuation or current-to-voltage conversion ratio so that the measured voltage (current) can be read directly.

Set the probe attenuation for the accessory probes (sold separately) as follows:

• Isolated probe (700929): 10:1

• Current probe (700937 and 701933): 10 A:1 V

• Current probe (701930 and 701931): 100 A:1 V

• 10:1 Passive Probe for the DL750/DL750P (701940): 10:1

The SL1000 has the following attenuation settings: 1:1, 10:1, 100:1, 1000:1, 1 A:1 V, 10 A:1 V, accessories (sold separately), set the attenuation ratio on the SL1000 according to the attenuation of the probe.

The measured data can be scaled to any physical value and displayed. When measuring the voltage (current), strain, or frequency (number of rotations, period, duty cycle, power supply frequency, pulse width, pulse integration, and velocity), there are two methods of linear scaling: “aX+b” and “P1-P2.”

aX+b

The results obtained from the following computation based on the specified scaling coefficient a and offset b are displayed as cursor measurement values and automated measurement values of waveform parameters. You can also assign a unit to the result of linear scaling. Y = aX + b

P1-P2

Specify arbitrary scale values (P1Y and P2Y) for the measured values of two arbitrary points (P1X and P2X). The scale conversion equation (y = ax + b) is derived from these four values.

• Range of measured values (P1X and P2X): –9.99990E+25 to +9.99990E+25

RMS Measurement

If the module is 701267 (HV (with RMS)) or 720268 (HV (with RMS/AAF)), you can observer the RMS value of the input signal.

AC-RMS

This setting is used when you want to observe only the rms values of the AC signal, eliminating the DC components from the input signal. Example If the rms value of a 2-Vpeak sinusoid input signal is measured, a DC waveform at approximately 1.4 V is displayed (see right figure).

As in the above example, when Vm is 2 V, the rms value, Vrms, is approximately 1.4 V.

DC-RMS

This setting is used when you want to observe the rms values of both the DC and AC components of the input signal. Example If the rms value of a 2-Vpeak sinusoid input signal riding on top of a 1-V DC component is measured, a DC waveform at approximately 1.7 V is displayed (see right figure).

Acceleration Measurement

The Acceleration Module (with AAF) (701275 (ACCL/VOLT)) measures acceleration using the output signal from an acceleration sensor. Direction connection is possible to a built-in amplifier type acceleration sensor. (A charge output type acceleration sensor that does not have a built-in amplifier cannot be connected directly to the 701275 (ACCL/ VOLT). For details on how to connect acceleration sensors, see the SL1000 High-Speed Data Acquisition Unit User’s Manual (IM 720120-01E).)

Note

The 701275 (ACCL/VOLT) can also measure voltage.

Current Supply to Acceleration Sensors

The 701275 (ACCL/VOLT) can supply 4 mA of current to the acceleration sensor when measuring acceleration.

Note

If you supply current to the acceleration sensor before it is connected to the item under

measurement, the internal circuit of the acceleration sensor may be damaged. Be sure to

supply current after connecting the acceleration sensor.

Filter

If you set the bandwidth limit to Auto, the anti-aliasing filter (AAF) and low-pass filter are enabled depending on the sample rate to eliminate high-frequency noise from the input signal. Using the anti-aliasing filter when measuring voltage allows elimination of aliasing noise. For details on the bandwidth limit, see section 4.2.

Note

The filter is effective not only during acceleration measurement but also during voltage

measurement.

The deceleration curve is computed according to the following equation using the

elapsed time after the pulse input stops (Δt). Frequency (f) = 1/period (Δt) The decelerating prediction starts after a pulse period (T) of the pulse one period

before the pulse input stopped elapses after the pulse input stopped.

Stop Prediction

The function determines the stop point at a constant time after the pulse input stops,

and the frequency is set to 0. The time from the point when the pulse input stops to

Filter

Smoothing filter (moving average) The frequency module can display waveforms by taking the moving average of the data in realtime. The order of moving average can be set in terms of time in the range of 0.0 ms to 1 s (up to 25000th order). The order of moving average is equal to the specified time

dividedby40μs.

The smoothing filter has the following characteristics.

• Converts a waveform that changes in steps to a smooth waveform.

• Improves the resolution by reducing the measurement jitter. The resolution improves especially when measuring high frequencies or when expanding the display using the offset function. Consequently, highly accurate measurements can be made.

• Can be used on all measurement parameters of the frequency module.

Original waveform

What the Acquisition Software Can Do

Pulse Average

Measures the input pulse by dividing the pulse by the specified number of pulses (1 to 4096 pulses). The pulse average has the following characteristics.

• If pulse dropouts are present or pulse interval is fluctuating within a period, measurements can be made by eliminating the effects from the dropout or fluctuation (fluctuating component of the waveform used to measure the frequency or period).

• The measured result is displayed as a value per input pulse even when pulse average is used. Therefore, there is no need to perform scaling again.

• Can be used when measuring frequency, number of rotations, period, power supply frequency, pulse integration, and velocity.

N = 11

Offset Function

The 701281 (FREQ) or 720281 (FREQ) allows you to set the center of observation (offset value) and expand the area around the offset value for close observation. It allows you to measure the fluctuation around a certain frequency. You can set an offset value up to 100 times the measuring range (500 kHz maximum).

1.4 Recording Settings

Recording Methods

There are two recording methods. One method is to record automatically according to the specified conditions (auto recording). The other method is to save the measured data that has been acquired in the memory of the SL1000 through file operation after the measurement is finished (saving of waveform data).

Auto Recording

The measured data is automatically recorded to a specified hard disk. You can select the recording destination from the following three destinations:

• PC HDD: Records to the hard disk of the PC in which this software was installed.

• Unit HDD: Records to the hard disk of the SL1000.

• PC HDD+Unit HDD: Records both to the hard disk of your PC and to the hard disk of the SL1000.

The free space on the hard disk of your PC and the SL1000 can be displayed on the screen.

Note

During synchronous operation, you cannot select PC HDD+Unit HDD.

Saving the Waveform Data

The measured data acquired in the internal memory of the SL1000 is saved to your PC. All the measured data in the memory is saved as a single file. The data saved to the hard disk of the SL1000 can be copied to the hard disk of your PC using the accompanying Xviewer (except the /XV0 option) or the FTP function (/C10 option).

Averaging and Saving History Data

The measured data acquired in the internal memory of the SL1000 is averaged and saved to your PC. From the measured data in the memory, you select the data (up to 5000 waveforms) to average, and the data is saved as a single file. The saved averaged waveforms can also be displayed on the screen using the accompanying Xviewer (except the /XV0 option).

Recording Start and Stop Conditions (Auto Recording)

The recording start and stop conditions vary depending on the measuring mode.

In Free Run Mode

You can select the following recording start and stop conditions.

Recording start condition

Immediate: Starts recording as soon as it is ready to record. Abs.Time: Starts recording at a specified time if it is ready to record. Alarm: Starts recording when an alarm occurs if it is ready to record. External trigger: Starts recording when the SL1000 is ready to record and it receives

a recording control signal (edge signal or gate signal) through the trigger input terminal. (Rise) indicates rising edge trigger, and (Fall) indicates falling edge trigger.

There are two methods for recording measured data to the hard disk of your PC or the SL1000: sequential and cyclic.

Sequential

Records the files sequentially to the hard disk. This method is useful if you want to retain the old data. If the number of recordings is large, the free space on the hard disk may run out.

Cyclic

Records the specified number of files. If the specified number is exceeded, the file is overwritten in order from the oldest one. This method is useful if the free space on the hard disk is low.

1.5 Display Settings

100

Display Group

The data measured on measuring channels that are registered to measuring groups can be divided into four groups (display groups) to be displayed. Channels of different measuring groups can be registered in a same display group. A single group can contain up to 16 channels (up to 128 channels when eight units are linked during synchronous operation). The same channel can also be registered to multiple groups. The measured data of channels in the same group (display group 1) can be compared using cursor values and values obtained through automated measurement of waveform parameters.

Note

If the maximum sample rate among the measuring channels registered to a single display group

is 50 MS/s, 5 MS/s, 500 kS/s, 50 kS/s, 5 kS/s, 500 S/s, or 50 S/s, a measurement channel with

the next lower sample rate cannot be registered to the same display group. For example, if the

maximum sample rate among the channels registered to a display group is 500 kS/s, a channel

with the sample rate set to 200 kS/s (the next lower sample rate) cannot be registered to the

same group.

Scale

You can set the display range. If linear scaling is set on the channel, the range is specified using a scaled value. It is also possible to automatically set a scale based on the measured data.

What the Acquisition Software Can Do

Zone

You can set the position to display the waveform. The display position is set in terms of a percentage of the screen. This feature keeps waveforms from overlapping when displaying multiple waveforms on a single screen. The following example shows the case when the display zone of waveform A is set to 30% to 100% and that of waveform B is set to 0% to 70%.

Displays Other Than Waveforms

Current Value Display

The current measured value is displayed using a bar graph, digital display (numeric), analog meter, or thermometer. Current values are measured data that this software retrieves from the SL1000 at 100ms intervals (Free Run mode) or 1-s intervals (Triggered mode).

Numeric Value Display

Displays the measured values at the cursor position, waveform parameter values (measure value), and GO/NO-GO judgment result.

1.6 Triggering

Normal mode

Single (N) mode

and trigger timing.

Trigger Mode

The trigger mode defines the method in which measured data is acquired when a trigger occurs. The following three modes are available.

Single Mode

When a trigger occurs, the SL1000 acquires measured data once for the specified measuring time. This mode is suitable for observing a single-shot signal.

Normal Mode

The SL1000 acquires measured data each time a trigger occurs. After acquiring data for the specified number of times, the SL1000 stops the acquisition. If the acquisition count is set to infinite, data acquisition continues until the measurement is stopped. After acquiring the measured data as a result of trigger occurrence, the SL1000 does not accept the next trigger until the internal processing of the data is completed.

Single (N) Mode

The SL1000 acquires measured data each time a trigger occurs. You can select whether to acquire the data the specified number of times and stop or acquire data infinite times. The SL1000 acquires measured data whenever a trigger occurs even if the internal processing of data is not completed. If the acquisition count is specified, the maximum number of acquisitions is 5000 or the number of acquisitions determined by the number of channels, sample rate, and measuring time, whichever is less.

Note

During synchronous operation, you cannot select Single (N) mode.

Trigger Class

Trigger Source

The following two trigger classes are available.

Simple

A trigger is generated on a single trigger condition.

Combination

A trigger occurs when all or any of the multiple trigger conditions are met. Combination is valid if the trigger sources are channels.

The following three trigger sources are available.

Channel

Generates a trigger on an input signal or the external trigger signal. A trigger can be generated on a combination of trigger sources consisting of multiple channels and external trigger signal.

Line

Generates a trigger on the rising edge of the power signal that is being supplied to the SL1000. Waveforms synchronized to the commercial power supply frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) can be observed.

Time

Generates a trigger at specified time intervals (1 min to 24 hours) from a specified time.

Select Rise (rising edge), Fall (falling edge), Both (both rising and falling edges), H (high), L (low), IN, OUT, IN (L), or OUT (L).

Rise (Rising Edge), Fall (Falling Edge), and Both (Both Rising and Falling Edges)

A trigger is generated when the trigger source level becomes greater than or equal to

the trigger level; less than or equal to the trigger level; or both.

H (High) and L (Low)

A trigger is generated when the trigger source level is greater than or equal to the

trigger level (H) or less than or equal to the trigger level (L).

IN/OUT

A certain level width (window) is set and a trigger is generated when the trigger source

level enters this level width (IN) or exits from this level width (OUT).

Window width

IN(L)/OUT(L)

A certain level width (window) is set and a trigger is generated when the trigger source

level is within this level width (IN (L)) or outside this level width (OUT (L)).

Trigger Level

Trigger level refers to the level that is used to determine the trigger pattern (rising/falling edge of the signal) and the like.

Hysteresis

If there is insufficient trigger level width such as when noise is present in the trigger source, the trigger point fluctuates each time a trigger is generated. This causes the displayed waveforms to be unstable. To solve this problem, a specified margin (trigger hysteresis) is added to the trigger level. You can set the trigger hysteresis to Low (small hysteresis width), Middle (medium hysteresis width), or High (large hysteresis width). The hysteresis width varies depending on the input module.

1.6 Triggering

Pre-trigger, Trigger Delay, and Hold Off

Trigger Point and Trigger Position

Trigger point refers to the point where a trigger is generated. Trigger position refers to the position where measurement is started after a trigger is generated. Normally, the trigger point and the trigger position are the same. However, if you set a trigger delay (explained later), the trigger position will be after the trigger point by the delay amount.

Pre-trigger

The section before the trigger positions is called pre-trigger section. Waveforms before the trigger position can be displayed by measuring the pre-trigger section. Specify the pre-trigger section as a percentage of the measuring time. If measuring using an external clock, specify the pre-trigger section as a percentage of the number of data points.

Trigger Delay

Setting a trigger delay allows displaying of waveforms that are acquired a specified time (delay) after the trigger is generated. The function is invalid if the trigger source is set to Time or if the SL1000 is measuring using an external clock. The selectable range of trigger delay is 0 to 10 s.

Delay

What the Acquisition Software Can Do

Hold Off

Hold off refers to the act of temporarily stopping the detection of the next trigger once a trigger has been generated. This function is useful when observing a pulse train signal, such as a PCM code, and you want to acquire the waveform in sync with the repeat interval as shown below. The function is invalid if the trigger source is set to Time or if the SL1000 is measuring using an external clock. The selectable hold off range is 0 to 10 s.

Cursor Measurement

There are two types of cursors: horizontal cursors and vertical cursors. Two cursors are displayed for each type of cursor. The measured values at the two cursor positions and the difference between the cursors can be displayed. You can move the cursor directly by dragging it or by using the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard. If you are dragging the cursor, the cursor moves in steps of screen dots. If you are using the left and right arrow keys, the vertical cursor moves over the measured data. The speed at which the cursor moves varies depending on the number of measured data points displayed on the screen. If the number of measured data points is greater than the number of dots on the waveform screen, the cursor moves on all the measured data points that are displayed at the dot before moving to the next dot. Therefore, the cursor will move slower. If multiple waveforms with different sample rates are displayed on the same screen, the cursor moves according to the sample rate of the cursor target waveform.

1.8 Alarms

OUT(L)

Alarm occurrence Alarm occurrence

Alarm level 1

Alarm level 2

There are two types of alarms: channel alarm and system alarm.

Channel Alarm (for Free Run Mode)

An alarm is generated when the measured data meets a specified condition.

Source Channels

The alarm source can be set to any channel registered in a measuring group. You can also specify multiple channels for the source and make the alarm go off when all channels meet the condition (AND) or when any channel meets the condition (OR).

Alarm Patterns

There are 4 alarm patterns.

H: An alarm is generated when the measured value of the source channel is

greater than a specified level.

L: An alarm is generated when the measured value of the source channel is less

than a specified level.

IN(L): An alarm is generated when the measured value of the source channel is

within a specified range.

OUT(L): An alarm is generated when the measured value of the source channel is

outside a specified range.

What the Acquisition Software Can Do

Hysteresis

System Alarm

Alarm level 1

Alarm level 2

Like triggers, a certain width (hysteresis) can be set on the alarm level. You can select the hysteresis from Low, Middle, and High.

When a system error occurs, the SL1000 transmits an alarm signal from the rear-panel alarm terminal. You can set an alarm that combines multiple system alarms. The following errors are detected.

HDD Full: An alarm is generated if the hard disk for recording the

measured data runs out.

Acq Memory Overrun: An alarm is generated if the memory buffer acquiring the

measured data overruns during auto recording. Fan Stop: An alarm is generated if the cooling fan of the SL1000 stops. Sync. Failure Detection: An alarm is generated when a synchronous connecting

cable is disconnected during synchronous operation.

System alarms are always sent to the PC. The Acquisition Software displays a message that describes the system alarm details and also displays the details in the error information area.

IM 720120-61E

1-35

1.8 Alarms

Alarm Output

The terminal on the SL1000 rear panel can be used to transmit a TTL logic signal when an alarm occurs. The SL1000 cannot transmit both the channel alarm and system alarm simultaneously. In the case of a channel alarm, the SL1000 can be configured so that the signal level remains even when the alarm condition is cleared after an alarm occurrence (hold) or so that the signal level is returned to the original level when the alarm condition is cleared (nonhold). In the case of a system alarm, the signal level remains even when the alarm condition is cleared after an alarm occurrence (hold). Alarms during synchronous operation are generated from the master SL1000 unit (whose unit ID is zero).

Recording Start and Stop Conditions

An alarm occurrence can be used as a condition for starting or stopping the recording. For details on recording, see section 1.4.

1-36

IM 720120-61E

1.9 GO/NO-GO Judgment (for Triggered Mode)

GO/NO-GO judgment is performed on whether a value obtained through automated measurement of waveform parameters is within a specified range. It is also possible to execute an action such as data recording or buzzer based on the judgment result. This function is useful if you want to inspect signals and track down abnormal symptoms on an electronic equipment production line . This function is available only when the measuring mode is set to Triggered Mode.

Note

You cannot configure GO/NO-GO judgment during synchronous operation.

Criteria

Specify upper and lower limits for each parameter. The SL1000 judges whether the waveform parameter is within or outside the specified range. You can also specify multiple waveform parameters (up to 16) and perform judgment when all conditions are met (AND) or when any condition is met (OR). The judgment area can be set to all the measured data that have been acquired or the measured data between cursors.

Judgment Action

The following action can be executed based on the GO/NO-GO judgment result.

Save Data

Records the measured data in binary format to the hard disk specified in the recording settings. Data is stored to a destination or file specified in Recording Settings.

What the Acquisition Software Can Do

Buzzer

Sounds the buzzer on the SL1000.

IM 720120-61E

1.10 X-Y Display

You can view the correlation between two input signal levels by assigning the level of a waveform to the X-axis (horizontal axis) and assigning the level of another waveform to the Y-axis (vertical axis). X-Y waveforms are displayed in a different window from the window that displays normal waveforms. You can display up to four display groups of X-Y waveforms. This feature is available on software versions 2.10 and later.

X-Axis and Y-Axis

X-Axis

Any channel registered in a measuring group can be assigned to the X-axis.

Y-Axis

Channels whose sample rate is the same as that of the X-axis and that have their waveform display set to ON in their display condition settings are assigned to the Y-axis.

Number of Data Points to Draw

You can set the number of data points to draw to 2K, 10K, or 100K.

In Triggered Mode

If the number of measured data points is less than the specified number of data points to draw, the SL1000 uses all the measured data to draw the waveform. If the number of measured data points is greater than the specified number of data points to draw, the SL1000 draws the waveform by reducing the number of data points to the specified number. This reduction is done by taking the midpoint of the maximum and minimum values of multiple measured data points. The cursor measurement values are displayed using the measured raw data that is stored internally.

Display Area

Note

• When displaying data measured in Triggered mode on the X-Y display, if the number

of measured data points is greater than the number of data points to draw, the SL1000

displays the waveform by taking the midpoint of maximum and minimum values of the

measured data points. When taking cursor measurements, the cursors may be displayed off

of the X-Y waveform because the cursors are displayed according to the measured data.

• If there are too many waveforms or too many data points drawn on the X-Y display, the

waveform display updating and waveform recording may slow down.

In Free Run Mode

If the number of measured data points is less than the specified number of data points to draw, the SL1000 uses all the measured data to display the waveform. If the number of measured data points is greater than the specified number of data points to draw, the SL1000 displays as much of the most recent measured data as is specified by the number of data points to draw.

1.12 Other Functions

Redisplaying the Measured Data

The measured data recorded in the past can be displayed. Xviewer that is included with this software is used to display the measured data (Xviewer is not included with the /XV0 option). For details on Xviewer, see the user’s manual.

Processing Waveform Data Files

The file utility function allows you to merge and divide waveform data files (.wdf extension) that have been recorded using the SL1000 and to convert waveform data files to CSV or binary files. It also allows you to process files so that waveform display is accelerated on Xviewer for smooth data analysis.

Saving the Setup File

The setup entered using this software can be saved. You can also open a setup file saved in the past to change the software settings.

Transferring Files

You can transfer files between the SL1000 and a PC. You can collectively transfer data that has been recorded in synchronous operation mode or transfer data one unit at a time.

What the Acquisition Software Can Do

Marking Waveforms (Versions 2.10 and later)

When taking measurements using the internal clock in Free Run mode, you can set marks on the waveform. Each mark can display up to 16 characters, and you can set up to 128 marks. You can edit, delete, and change the color of the marks that you have already set. You can display a list of all the marks that are set to the displayed waveform, and you can display the waveform at the position of the mark that you specify from the list. Additionally, if you record measured data that has marks set in it or save such data to file, the mark information is also saved. You can also display the marks together with the waveform in Xviewer. However, you cannot save just the mark information as a text file.

Accumulating Waveforms (Versions 2.10 and later)

You can accumulate waveforms on the screen, retaining the old waveforms. This is useful when you want to observe fluctuations in the measured data. You can display the trace of the waveform when you are using the X-Y display in Free Run mode.

Taking Snapshots (Versions 2.10 and later)

You can change the display color of the waveforms that you want to keep on the screen and retain just those waveforms. This is useful when you want to compare waveforms.

Automatically Displaying Waveforms from Memory (Versions 2.10 and later)

You can set the SL1000 to automatically display the measured data in the unit's acquisition memory. In Triggered mode, the SL1000 can also move the zoom area automatically to scroll the zoomed waveform.

Specify arbitrary scale values (P1Y and P2Y) for the measured values of two arbitrary points (P1X and P2X). The scale conversion equation (y = ax + b) is derived from these four values.

• Range of measured values (P1X and P2X): –9.99990E+25 to +9.99990E+25

• Range of scaled values (P1Y and P2Y): –9.99990E+25 to +9.99990E+25 However, you cannot set measured or scaled values P1 and P2 that would make

value a in the scaling equation zero or an incalculable value. The aX+b setting changes along with the P1-P2 setting. You can also directly assign the current measured value to P1X or P2X.

The results obtained from the following computation based on the specified scaling coefficient a and offset b are displayed as cursor measurement values and automated measurement values of waveform parameters. Y = aX + b (where X is the measured value and Y is the linear scaling result) However, coefficient a cannot be set to zero. The P1-P2 setting changes along with the aX+b setting.

Shunt Calibration (Only on the 701271(STRAIN_DSUB))

The 701271 Strain Module (STRAIN_DSUB) supports shunt calibration. Shunt calibration is used to correct the gain of strain measurements by inserting a known resistance (shunt calibration resistance (shunt resistance)) in parallel with the strain gauge. It is a type of scaling. Strain Module 701271 (STRAIN_DSUB) has a built-in relay circuit for shunt calibration. To execute shunt calibration, a bridge head that supports shunt calibration (701957/701958) is necessary.

Shunt calibration relay circuit (built into the strain module) Turns ON/OFF automatically when shunt calibration is executed.

not connected. P1:Y is the strain value corresponding to P1:X. P2:X is the input value when

a shunt resistor is connected. P2:Y is the strain value corresponding to the shunt resistance.

The line connecting points P1 and P2 is used to perform scaling.

• When shunt calibration is executed, the relay circuit for shunt calibration built into the strain

module is turned ON/OFF to automatically set P1:X and P2:X to the input value when the

shunt resistor is connected and the input value when the shunt resistor is not connected,

respectively.

• If you change P1:X, P1:Y, P2:X, or P2:Y, the linear scaling setting is also changed.

• Executing Shunt Cal Exec changes P1:X and P2:X to the current input values.

Note

• If executing shunt calibration, select an appropriate range so that the measured values do

not exceed the range when the shunt calibration relay circuit is ON. The SL1000 attempts

shunt calibration within the current specified range.

• If shunt calibration fails (the measured value exceeds the range, for example), an error

message is displayed. If this happens, change the range and execute shunt calibration

Precautions to Be Taken When Making Strain Measurements

• Be sure to execute balancing when making strain measurements.

• Select a bridge voltage of 5 V or 10 V when the bridge resistance is greater than

orequalto350Ω.Ifabridgevoltageof5Vor10Visappliedwhenthebridge resistanceislessthan350Ω,correctmeasurementswillnotbemade.

• If using a strain gauge transducer, use a bridge voltage in the recommended voltage range of the transducer.

• Correction cannot be executed if a strain gauge bridge (bridge head) or a strain gauge transducer is not connected to the channel on which balancing is to be executed.

• If balancing fails on any of the specified channels, an error message will be displayed.

• If the SL1000 is turned ON, a new strain gauge is connected, or the measuring range, bridge voltage, or gauge factor is changed, balancing must be performed again before making further measurements.

• If you switch the unit, the unit of all related parameters of the channel is switched accordingly (trigger level, measured values of automated measurement parameters, cursor measurement values, etc.).
