    1.5. Measured Raw Data All the measured data that the SL1000 acquired. The data is sent to your PC in unit of measuring groups to save the data on the hard disk of your PC. For a description of measuring groups, see section 1.2.
  • Page 11 After the measurement stops, all the measured data acquired in the internal memory of an SL1000 can be saved as a single file on your PC. This task is referred to as saving not recording in which data is saved while the measurement is in progress.

  • Page 15: Connection & Group Settings

    1.1 Overview of This Software Setup in Wizard Format The basic setup consisting of connection and group settings, measurement settings, recording settings, and display settings can be specified easily using dialog boxes in wizard format. You can also specify the connection and group settings, measurement settings, recording settings, and display settings individually using the toolbar or menu bar.
  • Page 16 Search for an SL1000 that is to communicate with your PC. If connected using the USB, you can search for an SL1000 by specifying a group ID. If connected using the Ethernet interface, you can search by specifying a group ID and IP address.
  • Page 17 1.2 Connection & Group Settings Measuring Groups Modules installed in a connected SL1000 are registered to measuring groups according to the sample rate used to make measurements. Up to four measuring groups can be set Measurement is performed only on modules that are registered to measuring groups.
  • Page 18 Data is acquired immediately upon starting a measurement. The SL1000 continues to acquire data until the measurement is stopped. The measured data can also be recorded to the hard disk of the SL1000 or your PC at a specified time or when an alarm occurs.
  • Page 19 Internal Clock The sampling timing of the measured data is controlled using the clock signal (internal clock) that is generated from the internal time-base circuit of the SL1000. External Clock The sampling timing of the measured data is controlled using a clock signal applied externally.

  • Page 20: Measurement Settings

    For example, if the sample rate of measuring group 1 is set to 500 kS/s, the sample rate of other measuring groups cannot be set to 200 kS/s (the next lower sample rate). The SL1000 can display waveforms correctly for frequencies less than one-half the sample rate as defined by the Nyquist sampling theorem.* * If the sample rate is comparatively low with respect to the input signal frequency, the harmonics contained in the signal are lost.
  • Page 21 1.3 Measurement Settings Input Coupling If you want to measure only the amplitude of an AC signal, measurement is easier if the DC component is removed from the input signal. On the other hand, there are times when you want to check the ground level or measure the entire input signal (both the DC and AC components).
  • Page 22 • Applies the signal with no distortion. • Expands the measurable voltage (current) range of the SL1000. When using a probe, the attenuation setting on the SL1000 must be set equal to the probe attenuation or current-to-voltage conversion ratio so that the measured voltage (current) can be read directly.
  • Page 23 1.3 Measurement Settings Linear Scaling The measured data can be scaled to any physical value and displayed. When measuring the voltage (current), strain, or frequency (number of rotations, period, duty cycle, power supply frequency, pulse width, pulse integration, and velocity), there are two methods of linear scaling: “aX+b”...
  • Page 24 1.3 Measurement Settings RMS Measurement If the module is 701267 (HV (with RMS)) or 720268 (HV (with RMS/AAF)), you can observer the RMS value of the input signal. AC-RMS This setting is used when you want to observe only the rms values of the AC signal, eliminating the DC components from the input signal.
  • Page 25 You can turn ON/OFF the internal RJC circuit of the SL1000. Use this setting to enable the reference junction compensation by the internal RJC circuit.
  • Page 26 You can set the bridge voltage (excitation: voltage applied to the bridge) from 2 V, 5 V, and 10 V on the SL1000. However, since the mV/V value is a converted value, the measured value is basically constant.
  • Page 27 (A charge output type acceleration sensor that does not have a built-in amplifier cannot be connected directly to the 701275 (ACCL/ VOLT). For details on how to connect acceleration sensors, see the SL1000 High-Speed Data Acquisition Unit User’s Manual (IM 720120-01E).) Note The 701275 (ACCL/VOLT) can also measure voltage.
  • Page 28 1.3 Measurement Settings Frequency Measurement The Frequency Module (701281 (FREQ) or 720281 (FREQ)) measures frequency, number of rotations, period, duty cycle, power supply frequency, pulse width, pulse integration, and velocity.

  • Page 29 1.3 Measurement Settings Pulse Integration (Distance/Flow Rate) Pulse integrated value = N (count) × physical amount per pulse (I) Set the physical amount per pulse (I) to distance or flow rate. A suitable user-defined unit can be assigned to the specified physical amount. Measurable range: up to 2×10 counts N (count) Velocity Velocity (km/h) = Distance per pulse l (km)/Tw (s) × 3600 Velocity (m/s) = Distance per pulse l (m)/Tw (s) The distance and unit can be defined by the user (angular velocity, etc.).
  • Page 30 1.3 Measurement Settings Filter Smoothing filter (moving average) The frequency module can display waveforms by taking the moving average of the data in realtime. The order of moving average can be set in terms of time in the range of 0.0 ms to 1 s (up to 25000th order).

  • Page 31: Recording Settings

    All the measured data in the memory is saved as a single file. The data saved to the hard disk of the SL1000 can be copied to the hard disk of your PC using the accompanying Xviewer (except the /XV0 option) or the FTP function (/C10 option).

  • Page 35 File Order There are two methods for recording measured data to the hard disk of your PC or the SL1000: sequential and cyclic. Sequential Records the files sequentially to the hard disk. This method is useful if you want to retain the old data.
  • Page 36 The current measured value is displayed using a bar graph, digital display (numeric), analog meter, or thermometer. Current values are measured data that this software retrieves from the SL1000 at 100- ms intervals (Free Run mode) or 1-s intervals (Triggered mode).

  • Page 37: Triggering

    After acquiring the measured data as a result of trigger occurrence, the SL1000 does not accept the next trigger until the internal processing of the data is completed.
  • Page 38 Line Generates a trigger on the rising edge of the power signal that is being supplied to the SL1000. Waveforms synchronized to the commercial power supply frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) can be observed. Time Generates a trigger at specified time intervals (1 min to 24 hours) from a specified time.

  • Page 40 Setting a trigger delay allows displaying of waveforms that are acquired a specified time (delay) after the trigger is generated. The function is invalid if the trigger source is set to Time or if the SL1000 is measuring using an external clock. The selectable range of trigger delay is 0 to 10 s.
  • Page 41 1.6 Triggering Recording of Measured Data in Triggered Mode If measuring in Triggered Mode, the recording start and stop conditions of measured data as explained in section 1.4 are invalid. Measured data is recorded to the specified hard disk each time a trigger occurs after recording is started. When the measurement caused by a specified trigger stops, recording also stops.

  • Page 46 You cannot configure GO/NO-GO judgment during synchronous operation. Criteria Specify upper and lower limits for each parameter. The SL1000 judges whether the waveform parameter is within or outside the specified range. You can also specify multiple waveform parameters (up to 16) and perform judgment when all conditions are met (AND) or when any condition is met (OR).

  • Page 47: X-Y Display

    If the number of measured data points is greater than the specified number of data points to draw, the SL1000 draws the waveform by reducing the number of data points to the specified number. This reduction is done by taking the midpoint of the maximum and minimum values of multiple measured data points.
