Notes of Connections
■Attaching Ferrite Core on IEEE 1394 Interface cable (IEEE 1394 model)
To reduce the radio noise, attach the supplied ferrite cores on both ends of the IEEE 1394 cable.
■ IEEE1394 connector is available for PC only (IEEE1394 model)
Do not connect devices other than the PC to the IEEE 1394 connector. If any other devices are daisy-chained,
the specified performance may not be achieved.
■ Grounding
To prevent noise, establish a common ground for the LX and all the measuring instruments connected to it.
PC Requirements
We recommend use of a PC that satisfies the following requirements:
OS: Windows XP / Windows 2000
CPU: Pentium4 2GHz or more
Screen Resolution: 1024×768 dpi or better
Memory: 512 MB or more
Free space on hard disk: 2 GB or more
CD-ROM drive: Present (for the program installation)
For IEEE 1393 model: Specified IEEE1394 interface card
For a note PC (PC card model): From RATOC Systems, Inc.: CBFW3
For a desktop PC (PCI bus): From RATOC Systems, Inc.: PCIFW3
For LAN model: use your PC on-board 100BASE-TX interface.
Remarks: It might not be possible to record continuously at a high sampling speed depending on the
relationship between the resident program, the operating state of other driver applications,
and the HDD speed.
■ Use the IEEE 1394 interface card specified above. Please contact us for availability. Other interface cards
might not operate correctly. When installing and setting up the interface card, read the documentation
supplied with the card and set up the card in accordance with that documentation and this manual.
■ Use the on-board type 100BASE-TX interface of your PC. Do not use the PC card type of interface.
■ File sizes or the total number of files, which can be handled on PC, may be limited depending on the file
systems.
