Output Settings
Step
The Z500 can transmit data to an external device in three formats; analog, terminal, and RS-232C. In
the example provided below, the procedure for setting the output contents to the external device is
explained. The output data and their transmission methods are as follows:
Data
Measure- The measurement results for each output number are output
ment value in numerical values.
Judgment
The judgment results for each output number are output.
result
Data on height of 126 lines are output.
Profile
When setting to Analog, analog waveforms are output.
Only the Trigger function allows this type of output.
Trend
Data that have been held for each output number are output.

Operation Manual
Description
Measured values or profile data are converted to analog values and are output.
Setting items vary depending on the outputting data.
Use the procedure explained below to set the measurement values correspond-
ing to the upper limit (20 mA/5 V) and lower limit (4 mA/-5 V) for analog output.
This setting enables output to be scaled (e.g., 1 mm corresponds to 1 mA) as
required. Set both the analog output and measurement values so that the upper
limit is greater than the lower limit.
