Chapter 5 Dual Save Functions (/DS Option)
5.1 Overview of Functions
The following functions are added when the /DS option functions are enabled. For the
interval (guideline) of saving of data to the CF card, see “Saving Data to the CF Card” in
section 1.2.
• Operation mode retention function
• Saving data to the CF card (Dual Save function)
• Measurement and recording start/stop function (data acquisition using only the
MX100)
Operation Mode Retention Function
When the power is turned ON, the operation mode last active before the power was cut
is automatically restored.
When automatic recovery is performed, after the self-check completes, [
] is
displayed on the 7-segment LED for 0.3 seconds.
Saving data to the CF Card
Transmission of measured data to the PC via communications and saving of measured
data to the CF card in the main module can be carried out simultaneously.
The standard function saves data to the CF card only if communication with the PC
is disconnected during recording by the PC software. With the
Dual Save function,
measured data is saved to the CF card during recording by the PC software.
Starting and Stopping Measurement and Recording
In situations where the MX100 cannot be connected to a PC, this function can be used to
acquire data on the MX100 by itself. You can start and stop measurement and saving of
data to the CF card by holding down the CF card control switch (access stop switch) for
five seconds (hereinafter referred to as
5s-SW).
Start time: Starts saving to the CF card one second after measurement starts.
Stop time: Saves data to the CF card up to the moment measurement stops.
