Index
• Channel setup screen
For each measurement channel you can set: the input type, measurement range,
measurement span, and other measurement conditions; whether or not to assign
the channel for measurement/recording; the alarm output conditions, and the initial
balancing of the strain input modules. You can also set computations such as the four
arithmetical operations using the measured data (computation channel setting), set
the signal to be output from the digital output module (DO channel setting), set the
signal to be output from the analog output module (AO channel settings), and set the
signal to be output from the PWM output module (PWM channel settings).
• Display setup screen
For each display group, you can set the channel to be displayed, display scale, display
zone, trip point (the value of interest in the waveform display), display color, and other
parameters.
• Monitor screen
You can display the waveforms and numeric values of the measured/computed data,
change the display method, start/stop the recording of the measured/computed data,
pause the monitor, manually control the digital output, analog output, and PWM
output, and perform other operations. When the monitor is paused, you can display
the past data and read computed/measured values using cursors.
In addition to the operations described above, you can also save the setup data (project),
print a list of settings, and perform other operations from the menu.
Viewer
You can load the measured/computed data that was saved in the past and carry out the
following operations.
• Synchronization
When the data file is opened, the measurement time is correc
ted based on the time
information of the PC.
• Waveform display/numeric display
• Alarm/mark list display
• Change the display conditions (group assignments, scale, trip p
oint, display color and
other parameters)
• Read values using cursors
• Perform statistical computation over an area
• Display and add marks
• Print the waveform display and numeric value display
• Save or load display conditions
•
Display the file information
• Convert data formats (ASCII, Excel, and Lotus)
• Printing data (waveforms, numeric values, alarm/mark list, curs
or values, statistics
over an area, and computed values)
• Use and save templates
Calibrator
You can connect to the MX100, display the modules that can be calibrated, and carry out
calibration of each measurement range and output range.
