1.1 Overview of Functions File Management Functions File import, file export, file deletion, data backup, and editing of the management area can be done. DAQManager has areas for file saving and management. The management area is composed of a management folder for saving of data files and index information for all data files in the management folder. The management folder is at the following location. Never change it.
1.1 Overview of Functions List Display Function 1 Outline of DAQManager Lists of tags, alarms, display groups, messages, files and continuous data are displayed. Waveform display is made in specified data sets or entire file, and specified data can be added to an existing waveform display screen. Data displayed as waveforms can be displayed as digital values. Lists can be sorted in the order of the displayed items. The list display types are shown below.
1.1 Overview of Functions Data Search Function List Search Function Restricted search for a displayed list is possible by specifying a text string or a time period. • Search with specification of a time period “None”, “Date and time”, “Last xx Hour”, “Last xx Day”, “Last xx Month”, and “Last xx Year.” For [Date and time], enter a start and end date/time for the search period. • Search with specification of a text string When a text string is specified, the object item differs according to the list type.
1.1 Overview of Functions 1 Digital value display Can be displayed in units of groups. Up to 50 groups can be displayed. Up to 100 tabs of waveforms can be displayed per group. Display/No display can be selected for alarms. Optional tags can be added and displayed. Two cursors are displayed. Active tags can be switched. The cursor range or the entire range can be converted to Excel or text. The cursor range or the entire range can be printed. Text strings can be copied to the clipboard.
1.1 Overview of Functions Print Function Waveforms, digital values, alarm values, marks/messages, cursor values, and calculation results can be printed. Printing is not possible for the list display of search results. Waveform Printing Printing is possible when the waveform screen is active. However, when tags for 11 or more axes are displayed on the same screen, Y-axis printing is not possible from the tenth axis on.

4.9 Data Format Conversion Conversion format of data by file For Excel conversion, the Date cell takes date format, the Time cell takes time format, and the start and end times each take the date/time format. If the file is divided due to the restriction on number of rows, headers are added to all the files. Also, if the results are divided into multiple sheets within the file due to the restriction on the number of columns, headers are added to all the sheets. The format is described below.
4.9 Data Format Conversion DX/DXAdvanced/MVAdvanced (Batch function On) format 1 DAQManager Rx.xx.xx 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 Batch name File header Instrument type Serial No. Batch No.+Lot No. HEADER DX200 SERIAL_300 Time Correction Start time End time Start Cond.

4.9 Data Format Conversion Conversion format for alarm lists The conversion format for alarm lists is the same as that for the data conversion of displayed waveforms or data conversion by file. If cursors are displayed, only the data in the cursor range is converted. Alarm list conversion example 1 2 3 4 5 6 Status ON ON OFF OFF ON Tag name ato5 ato5 ato5 ato5 ato5 Tag no.
