●Corresponds to SD card
Equipped with SD card (sold separately) and it canrecord data, read and write setting value.
●Full multi range
Equipped with DC voltage 10 kinds, T/C 36 kinds, RTD
12 kinds, in total 58 kinds. Easily set the range perchannels.
●Easy data management by communicationinterface
Provided with USB port and connect with PC directly.
RS232C, RS422A, RS485 and Ethernet communication interface is optionally prepared. When Ethernet isselected, settings from the web and E-mail alarm notification are added.
●Package Software attached
By Data acquisition software, the use of application
expands from recording/management to information
processing.
*Optional communication interface required.
Data analysis software can replay display, wave form
process, editing and trend display.
Parameter setting software can manage the setting
information on PC.
●Standard alarm display/ Printing function
Set 4 types of alarm per each input points. When
alarm occurs, status display “ALM” flashes andmeasuring value flashes at LCD operation screen.
●Chart end detection function available
Can set the alarm operation when chart end is
detected.
●Various programming function
Process the measured data by programming setting
and displayed/recorded data of each channels areshown as programmed result data.
