• Software Configurator
Software Congurator is started from Software Manager.
Software Congurator is used to assign recorder numbers of DAQLOGGER to the
recorders that are connected. It is also used to set the congurations of the recorders
and communication parameters. DAQLOGGER scans and records the data based on
the information specied here.
The settings are as follows:
•
Type of communication (RS-232, RS-422, and Ethernet).
• Port, address, baud rate, parity
, and stop bit if RS-422 is used.
• Port, baud rate, parity, and stop bit if RS-232 is used.
• Address, login name, user ID, and password if Ethernet is used.
• Type of recorder that is connected, number of measurement channels, and number
of computation channels.
• Standalone model/expandable model, style number, options, and subunit/module
conguration if DARWIN is used.
Software Congurator includes a function that automatically de
termines and
registers the model of the recorder that is connected to the specied communication
port (Parameters can be set one by one as some models are not determined
automatically).
For the operation procedure of Software Congurator
, see section 2.6.
• Tag Editor
Tag Editor is started from Software Manager.
Tag Editor is used to assign the tags used by DAQLOGGER to the recorder’s
channels. A single channel can have multiple tags.
In a
ddition, you can set names (character string) to the tags. The name is called a “tag
name.” Tag names can be read from the recorder via communications.
Y

For the operation procedure of
Tag Editor, see section 2.7.
• Group Editor

The tags that were set by Tag Editor can be assigned to groups, and the groups can
be assigned names. Up to 32 tags can be assigned to a single group.
Up to 50 groups can be assigned.
Data Monitor displays the data by groups that are specied here.
For the operation procedure of Group Editor, see section 2.8.
