25.1.1 What is the Sampling Feature?

This feature samples data from the desired address value of the device/PLC at the designated time and then stores it in the display unit. This is useful for viewing data history.

At the designated time, data from the device/PLC is read in to the display unit.

Data collected by the Sampling feature is called "Sampling Data".

Sampled data can be displayed as a line graph on the screen of the display unit and printed from a printer connected to the display unit. You can also save it to an external storage. You can edit it using general spreadsheet software (such as Microsoft Excel) on the screen because it is saved in CSV format.
