Chapter 1 Overview

Chapter 1 Overview
1.1. Introduction
The TX-View is data viewer software to display the waveform of the data and to extract and store the data, which are recorded with TEAC
data recorders (*), such as LX-1000 and WX-7000 series.


As of April 2020, the TX-View supports the data files recorded with the LX-1000/WX-7000/LX-1000/DS/LX series, VR-24, GX-1
(except for the multi sampling data files) and es8.
Types of supporting file formats of conversion destinations are different between those of the DS series and those of the
LX-1000/WX-7000/LX-100/LX series/GX-1/es8. Refer to “4.2. Converting Data”.
This manual is compatible with the TX-View Version 3.72 or later.

Terminology used in this manual:“Key”: A push button on the panel of the main unit.
“Cursor Display”: An item selected in the display and highlighted (called “cursor”) during the main unit operation.
<MENU>, <Are you sure?>: A message or dialog shown in the unit display or the PC software.
[REC]: A control button on the unit display or a selection item on the PC software.

1.2. What You Can Do
View a bulk data recorded by TEAC data recorders: The program can display a maximum of 128 data channels. If thedisplayed data channels do not fit into a single PC display, you can see them by using a scroll bar. It reproduces recorded data ofa selected data file on a T-Y graph from the start point to the stop point data on a single PC display (*), to browse the trend of thedata file. Data plot in overlay is also possible. (*Depends on the installed memory capacity of your PC. You can use ahorizontal scroll bar if the data display does not fit into a single PC display.)Extract data, specify the extracting section by browsing a voice memo waveform: The program lets you specify the data
points to extract data by using two cursors and it can read maximum, minimum, and difference values between the cursors. You
can see the voice memo waveform recorded by the LX-1000/WX-7000/LX-100/LX series and VR-24 and then extract by using the
cursors by listening to your PC. The program can display the event points and information of the data recorded by the
LX-1000/WX-7000/LX-100/LX-series/VR-24/GX-1/es8.
File conversion on the extracted data: The program converts the extracted data to ASCII that general analysis software canimport, and other file formats (DADiSP, MATLAB, ATI（IDEAS）, WAV, Universal File (UFF58 TEXT), RPC3 and TAFFmat) withdecimation if necessary.
File conversion in batch operation: The program can process a series of pre-registered conversion tasks in batch operation. You
can register the series of conversion tasks to a spread sheet list, and you can also save and load them.
Processing a waveform data: The program computes the displayed waveform data to FFT and X-Y display.

Types of supporting file format conversions are different from those of the DS series and those of the LX/GX/es8 series.
When newly opening the file to view, the cursors are located at the extreme left and right. The data in the current view part will be
converted.

4.2.1. Converting Data File Recorded with LX-1000/WX-7000/LX-100/LX series, VR-24, GX-1 and es8
If the original data file is a data file recorded by a recorder of LX-1000/WX-7000/LX-100/LX series, VR-24, GX-1, and es8 (other than DS
series), activate “PL-S1002 AFC NEO.”
When you are using PL-S1002 only, the software does not have any data view function and opens the dialog by executing [AFCNEO.EXE].

128 channels on a single file is a maximum number of channels for the merge result.
At the merge case of the data files recorded at the LX series, the tachometer data channel is treated as data channel, if it sets to ON.
One tachometer data channel of 16 bits mode will be counted as one channel, one tachometer data channel of 32 bits mode will becounted as two channels.
