H An alarm occurs when the measured value exceeds the specified value. L An alarm occurs when the measured value falls below the specified value. h(dH)* An alarm occurs when the difference in the input values of two channels is

greater than or equal to the specified value.

l(dL)* An alarm occurs when the difference in the input values of two channels is

less than or equal to the specified value.

R(RH) The rate-of-change of the measured values is checked over a certain time

(interval). An alarm occurs if the rate-of-change of the measured value in the rising direction is greater than or equal to the specified value.

r(RL) The rate-of-change of the measured values is checked over a certain time

(interval). An alarm occurs if the rate-of-change of the measured value in the falling direction is greater than or equal to the specified value.

T** An alarm occurs when the measured value remains above the alarm value for

the specified time period.

t** An alarm occurs when the measured value remains below the alarm value for

a specified time period.

Can be specified on channels set to delta computation.

T and t can be selected when the alarm delay function is enabled in Basic Setting mode.

Alarm Value

Alarm is generated using the specified value as the boundary. The selectable range of alarm values vary depending on the input mode and range.

Periodic Printout

Periodic

Selects the type of measured values to be printed in periodic printout. This setting is activated when Mode for Periodic Print in Print Setting (see page 2-24) in Basic Setting mode is set to Report.

Mode

AVE: Average value over the interval. MIX: Minimum, maximum, and average values over the interval. SUM: Sum value over the interval. MIN: Minimum value over the interval. MAX: Maximum value over the interval. INST: Instantaneous value

SUM Scale

When the mode is SUM, set the sum scale. SUM sums the data every computation interval. For flow values that have units /s, /min, /h, or /day, a simple summation results in the actual value not matching the computed result, because the scan interval and the unit of the input values are different. In such cases, set the sum scale to match the unit of the input value. In effect, the sum value with the same unit as that of the input value is calculated. For example, if the scan interval is 1 s, and the input value is 100 m summation would add 100 every 1 s resulting in 6000 after one minute. However, if the sum scale is set to /min, then 1 s/60 s is multiplied every scan interval before the value is added giving a result with an m OFF: Simply sums the measured values. /s: Sums by converting the measured values to a value over 1 second. /min: Sums by converting the measured values to a value over 1 minute. /h: Sums by converting the measured values to a value over 1 hour. /day: Sums by converting the measured values to a value over 1 day.

Chapter 4 Using CopyTool

4.1 Overview of CopyTool

CopyTool is a software program that copies settings from one recorder to another.

Differences between CopyTool and the Configuration Software

The Configuration software supports the latest version of the recorder as of the purchase date. CopyTool copies the source settings and sends them to the destination recorder regardless of the version of either the source or destination recorder. As long as the specifications of the copy source and copy destination recorders are the same, the settings can be copied successfully.

PC System Requirements

This software runs under the same environment as the RXA10 Configuration software. See section 1.2, “PC System Requirements” for details.

Copying

This function works as follows.

• A settings file is received from the recorder and saved.

• The saved settings file is sent to the copy destination recorder.

The settings that can be copied are as follows.

• Basic Setting mode settings However, this excludes the dot printing or pen position adjustment setting.

• Setting mode settings

Note

• CopyTool and the RXA10 Configuration software can be run simultaneously.

• Only one instance of CopyTool can be run at a time.

4.2 Installing CopyTool and Checking the Version

Displays the version number.

CopyTool is located on the RXA10 CD-ROM. No serial number is required when installing CopyTool.

Installation

Turn on the power to the PC and allow Windows to start up. Log on to Windows

with Administrator privileges.

Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

The installation program starts automatically. A startup screen appears.

Click the Run button for the CopyTool Installation. Follow the instructions on the

screen to proceed with the installation.

If the installation program does not start automatically when you insert the CD-

ROM into the CD-ROM drive, use the following procedure to start it.

In My Computer, double-click the CD-ROM icon to open the CD-ROM drive

window.

Double-click Setup.exe (in the root directory). A startup screen appears.

Note

• Before starting the installation, make sure to exit all resident programs such as anti-virus

programs.

• To reinstall the software, first remove it, then reinstall it.

• To uninstall, open the Windows Control panel and double-click the Add or Remove

Programs icon. Even if you uninstall CopyTool, your saved settings files will not be deleted.

Checking the Version of the Software

On the menu bar, click Help > About. The version of CopyTool is displayed.
