5. Introduction of the Main Functions

Input Type and Calculation

As shown in the table below, the available input types are analog input, which

includes DC voltage, thermocouple, and RTD, and other inputs, which consist of

pulse signal (1 channel) and logic signals (2 channels).

In addition, the difference between two inputs can be calculated and assigned

to a calculation channel and displayed in the same fashion as measured values.

The statistics of measured values can also be displayed.

For details on the input settings, see chapter 5, “Setting the Input Channels.”

For details on calculation, see chapter 8, “Setting the Calculation of Measured

Data.”

Input/Calculation Description

DC voltage Measures a DC voltage in the range of ±100 mV to ±30 V.

Thermocouple Selectable from the following types: R, S, B, K, E, J, T, N,

W, L, and U.

RTD Selectable from Pt100 and JPt100 types.

Pulse signal Displays the pulse input as number of revolutions,

integrated value, or instantaneous value.

Logic signal Displays the logic waveform at the lower section of the display

Differential Calculation When the input type is set to DC voltage, thermocouple,

Statistical Calculation Calculates and displays the maximum, minimum, average,

by taking input voltage less than or equal to 0.9 V to be OFF (0) and input voltage greater than or equal to 2.1 V to be ON (1).

RTD, or pulse input, the value obtained by subtracting the measured value of another channel from the input signal of the channel set to calculate the difference is displayed as the measured value of that channel (calculation channel).
