Setting the Recording Conditions

Setting Recording Zones (ZONE)

This setting specifies the recording zones for each channel. The set left and right position of the
zone correspond to the left and right span set at the SPAN menu (recording span). The left value
of the ZONE menu corresponds to the value of the left position of the zone, whereas the right
value of the ZONE menu corresponds to the value of the right position of the zone.
Zones can be set in 1mm steps and cannot exceed the recording range (i.e. 250mm). The left
position setting ranges from 0 to 245mm, whereas the right position setting ranges from 5 to
250mm. The minimum width of a zone is 5mm. A decimal point cannot be set. The default
settings are 0mm for the left position and 250mm for the right position.
If the instrument is equipped with the optional computation function or floppy disk drive, this
setting can also be made for computation channels A01 to A60.

Partially Expanded Recording (PARTIAL)

This setting specifies whether to carry out partially expanded recording, and if so, which
percentage of the recording span will be compressed and the corresponding boundary value.
If the instrument is equipped with the optional computation function or floppy disk drive, this
setting can also be made for computation channels A01 to A60.

Selecting Partial Recording ON/OFF

ON: Partial recording will be carried out;
OFF: Partial recording will not be carried out.
The default setting is OFF.

Specifying the Compressed Part and Boundary Value

RATE
This setting specifies which percentage (1 to 99%) of the full recording span will be
compressed. The default value is 50%.
Boundary value
This setting specifies the boundary value which corresponds to the previous set compressed
part. The setting lies within the recording span, but when linear scaling is being used, the
setting lies within the left/right scale range. The default value is 0.

Note

If boundary values are to be set for succeeding channels, the decimal point is handled as shown below.

If succeeding channels are set, the decimal point position of boundary values when the measurement range
for each channel setting is different, is that determined for each corresponding range. As a result, it exceeds

the measurable range, an error occurs.

For example, if channels whose measurement ranges are 20 mV, 2 V, and type T thermocouple are set and

the boundary value is set to 10000, the following applies:

The boundary value of the channel whose measurement range is 20 mV: 10.000 mV;

The boundary value of the channel whose measurement range is 2 V: 1.0000 V; and
The boundary value of the channel whose measurement range is type T thermocouple: 1000.0

°C

As the measurement range of type T thermocouple is -200.0 to 400.0

°C, an error occurs for this channel.

For decimal point positions for each measurement range, see Chapter 14, “Specifications.”

Points to Note when Using Partially Expanded Recording

• Partial recording cannot be carried out if the input type of the computation channels is SKIP or

DI or if the computation channels are OFF.

• Partially expanded settings will be automatically canceled when either of the following changes

occur.

• the input type has been changed;
• the measurement range has been changed;
• the recording span has been changed;
• linear scaling settings have been changed;
• the reference channel for difference between channels has been changed.
