24.8.3.3 Mode / Constant Cycle when Bit is ON

Sample data at constant cycles starting from when the display unit is turned ON, but only when the designated bit is ON.

Execution Condition

Select the sampling action execution condition. Select [Constant Cycle when Bit is ON].

Sampling Permit Bit Address

Select the address which will control whether or not sampling will execute. While this address is ON, data will be read each cycle.

Sampling Frequency

Specify the sampling cycle at 1 sec (second) or 100 milliseconds. Set 1 to 65535 when the unit is 1 sec and 1 to 9 when the unit is 100 ms.

Occurrences

Select the number of times sampling will occur. The setting range is from 1 to 65535.

Data Full Bit Address

After the designated number of data samples are completed, this address will be used to confirm that the operation is finished. Select whether or not to verify this bit address.

This bit tells when a data sampling cycle is complete. The sampling operation will continue running even when this bit is ON.

Data Clear Bit Address

Designate the bit address to control the clearing of the sampling data. When this address turns ON, all the Sampling Group data stored in the display unit will be erased. After clearing the data, this bit will turn OFF.

Extended

Displays the [Extended] dialog box.

Overwrite old data after finishing the specified cycles

Data will be overwritten and stored, starting with the oldest data, after data has been sampled the designated number of times. This setting is fixed to enable.

Add Time Data

Select whether or not to store the sample time along with the sampled data. If this is not designated, when displaying/saving in CSV or printing, the date/time columns will be blank.

Back Up To Internal Memory (Historical Data)

Select whether or not to save the sampling data to the backup SRAM. If the sampling data is not saved, the data will be deleted when the power to the display unit is turned OFF or reset.

24.11.1 Data Storage Locations

Use Memory Card as Backup Area

Indicates whether data saved in the backup SRAM is written to the location specified in [Save in]. The data is saved in binary format.

24.11.1.1 Usage Capacity of Sampled Data

Save in

Select the "Save in" location of the backup data, from [CF card] and [USB storage].

Folders are automatically created for each sampling group in the "Save in" location. The saved file name will be Time Stamp (year/month/day/hour/minute/second when saved).

For example, when it is saved at 14:30:5 on July 2 in 2007

\SAMP**\T070702_143005#.bin
("**" represents sampling group number and "#" represents index number)

Backup Count

Specify the number of times (1 to 500) to write the backup data. The number specified here is the number of files that will be created.

When Exceeding Backup Count

Select an action when the number of backup files exceeds the value set in the Backup Count.

Delete the oldest file and add a new file.

Stops backup. "1001" (number of files exceeded) is stored in the status address.

Status Address

Indicates whether the saved operation status and error information are stored in the specified address.

The error status indicates the following error codes.
