Ｕ－６０３ Desktop recorder SPECIFICATIONS

1. OUTLINEThe U-603 multi-channel desk-top recorder is designed based on computing recorder Model U-638 maintaining
its principal functions and easy operation that has been very popular whit the customers. Renewal of design ofoperation panel, high-speed performance of pen speed, adoption of electric pen lift for each pen, and further,character printing equipment and parallel interface ( based on CENTRONICS) are added to the present options.
In addition, this recorder corresponds to the communication function of thermocouple/D.C. voltage input unit
TCV3A which has been developed as general-purpose input unit. By mounting this input unit, the U-603
becomes possible to print the set value of measurement range of each channel in the status printing by character
printing unit and to set measuring rang of each channel from the host computer via various interfaces.
The recorder consists of 6-channel servo system united by the servo mechanism and pen lift mechanism, chartcassette which allows loading of both roll chart paper and folding type chart paper, and operation panel which
has been designed considering of chart speed and easy setting of pen lift, etc.
Furthermore, standard specification includes synchronizer function which automatically compensates pen
clearance between channels and analog output. ( See "1.1 System Configuration" ) .
In addition to the above, plug-in input units are available for various kinds of measurements such as voltage,current and temperature, etc., in order to meet with diversified measuring requirements. Therefore, wide range
measurements may be carried out with economical manner.
Measurement of high-speed transient phenomena is also possible making use of technology accumulated withconventional storage recorders. This is an optional item. Therefore, it may be said that this recorder is equippedwith capability equivalent to those developed by high speed recorders such as pen recording type oscillograph.
As for optional items, by mounting the character printing unit, this recorder can be used as the event marker,
time marker as well as the status printer for date, time and chart speed, etc.
Also, character printing from optional parallel interface ( based on CENTRONICS) , GP-IB interface RS-232C
interface becomes possible, with more improved automatic measuring system by the computer.
In addition the above, DC-DC converter, separate pen marker and chart take-up device, etc. are provided to
expand function of recording system.
This recorder incorporates, based upon abundant recorder manufacturing technology obtained for long years,
identically shaped cartridge type fiber-tip pen, compact unit of recording pen and chart drive nit which aredeveloped by PANTOS's unique idea.

2. FEATURES(1)

Standard specification includes synchronizer function which automatically compensates the pen clearance
between channels. Further, fine adjustment of synchronizer function can be done making use of thebuilt-in calibration signal.

(2)

Pen up and down motion, and start and stop of chart drive can be done by connecting the external control.
Thus remote operation is made possible.

(3)

Uniform response is obtained throughout the measurement and maintenance is made easy thanks toadoption of identically shaped cartridge type tip pen.

(4)

Many input units are available which are combined appropriately according to the measuring purpose.

(5)

Many optional items including GP-IB, RS232C interface unit, and parallel interface which can be usedwith same feeling as printer, and character printing equipment which print date, time and chart speed
while performing analog recording for systematic measurement and automation are available.

(6)

Realization of high-speed pen drive of 0.2 s/FS ( Max. speed: approx. 1600 mm/s) .

(7)

Standard specification includes electric pen lift mechanism for each pen.

(8)

Chart speed can be set freely ranging from ultra low speed of "1 cm/h" to high speed of "200 cm/min." bymeans of crystal oscillator and stepping motor.

(9)Home position return function of chart paper is provided to enable superimposing recording.

(10 ) Both roll type and folding type chart paper are available.
(11 ) By the external connector or setting from interface, this recorder is used as the X-Y recorder.
