Data Montor
Monitor the RECORDER data using a PC connected to the network by viewing the trend
waveform, for example. The following types of monitor screens are available:
• Alarm Monitor : Lists the alarm conditions of each group or alarms that
occurred in the past. It can be used to monitor alarms.
• Trend Monitor : Displays the waveforms of the measured and computed data.
This is useful when you wish to observe the data trend.
• Color Graph Monitor : Displays the measured and computed data using colors that
correspond to specific values. This is useful when you wish to
observe the overall tendency of the measured and computed
data.
• Numerical Monitor : Displays the measured and computed data using numerical
(digital) values. This is useful when you wish to read the exact
values.
• Meter Monitor : Displays the measured and computed data using analog
meters. You can select bar graph, meter, or thermometer.
This provides a useful way to display the current conditions
graphically.
• Circular Monitor : Displays the measured and computed data in a circular fashion.
Data Vewer
The following five types of data files generated by RECORDER can be displayed as
trends, digital values or in a circular fashion on the screen or printed.
• Display data file (.dds, .cds, .DAD)
• Event data file (.dev, .cev, .DAE)
• TLOG file (.dtg) (Note that this excludes the DX1000/DX2000/MV1000/MV2000.)
• Report file: .dhr (hourly), .ddr (daily), .dwr (weekly), .dmr (monthly), and DAR (DX1000/
DX2000/MV1000/MV2000 report file)
• Manual sample file (.dmn), .DAM (DX1000/DX2000/MV1000/MV2000 manual sample
file)
You can also use cursors to read the values of the displayed data, perform computation
over a specified region, and convert data to a file in ASCII format or a format that can be
opened using Excel/Lotus.
Confgurator
The Configurator is used to configure RECORDER setup data such as the configuration
of the measurement channels and computation channels, the screen display format, etc.
Configuration data can also be stored to or retrieved from the hard disk on the connected
PC. There are three methods for setting the RECORDER:
• Retrieving the current setup data from the connected DX/MV/CX and subsequently
modifying the settings.
• Loading saved setup data from the PC and changing the settings.
• Configuring a new system and settings.
