Chapter 1 Explanation of Functions

1.1 Overview of the XL100

The XL100 is a handheld data logger that (1) periodically samples DC voltage or analog input such as thermocouples and RTDs, (2) acquires the sampled measured data in the internal memory, and (3) displays the measured data on a LCD in the form of waveforms, digital display, and bar graphs. The measured data can also be saved to external storage media such as CF cards and SD cards. The saved data can be loaded into the XL100 to be displayed or displayed on a PC using the accompanying software program.

Alarm Display

On the display, an alarm icon is shown in the status display section, and the alarm status is shown in the data display section such as the waveform, digital, and bar graph displays. In addition, the details of the alarm are shown on the alarm summary display. There are two methods for displaying alarms. One method is to clear the alarm display when the cause of the alarm is no longer met (non-hold display). The other method is to keep displaying the alarm until the alarm acknowledge operation is carried out (hold display).

1.4 Alarm Function

Delay Alarm

An alarm occurs when the measured/calculated value remains above (or below) the alarm value for a specified time period (delay period). In the figure below, the measured value exceeds the alarm value during period T1, but no alarm is generated, because the condition does not last longer than the specified delay period T. At time X2, the input exceeds the alarm value. However, no alarm is generated, because the delay period has not elapsed. An alarm occurs at time X3 when the delay period elapses.

Alarm Hysteresis

A width (hysteresis) can be specified to the values for activating and releasing the alarm. Alarm hysteresis prevents frequent activation and release of alarms when the measured/ calculated value is unstable around the alarm value. The hysteresis is fixed to 0.5% of the display span (display scale width if the range is set to scale).

Key Lock

Explanation of FunctionsAll key operations except the key lock release operation can be disabled through a given key operation.

Lithium Ion Battery Operation

In addition to the AC power supply, the XL100 can operate on an internal lithium battery (sold separately). The lithium ion battery is automatically charged when the AC adapter is connected.

Automated Measurement Function

When the automated measurement function is turned ON, the XL100 automatically loads the AUTRUN.SET file saved to the external storage medium (CF card, SD card, or USB memory) and starts the logging operation (data save operation). After the logging measurement is finished, the measured data that was saved is copied to the external storage medium. (The SD card is supported only on the XL121, XL122, and XL124.)

Synchronized Logging Operation

The XL100 has an external trigger input/output function. By applying the external trigger output signal to multiple XL100s as external trigger input, the logging (data save) operation of measured data among multiple XL100s can be synchronized.
