Using the Log scale Function Log Scale Display Function You can apply a logarithmic voltage that has been converted from a physical value to the recorder, and then use the log scale (logarithmic scale) to display and record the physical value.
Using the Log scale Function Restrictions Partial You cannot set the partial display on a channel that is set to log scale. Differential Computation between Channels If you set the reference channel of a differential computation between channels to a channel that is set to log scale, an error will be returned as the measured result of the differential computation between channels.

Setting the Log scale • When Calculation is Log input Set the settings so that Scale Lower is less than Scale Upper. The mantissas of scale lower and scale upper can be set to different values. Mantissa of Scale Setting Range Lower 1.00 1.00E‒15 to 1.00E+15.
Page 14
Setting the Log scale • Pseudo-Log, Linear-Log You can set the settings so that Scale Lower is less than Scale Upper or so that Scale Lower is greater than Scale Upper. The mantissa that you set for Scale Lower is automatically set as the mantissa of Scale Upper.

Setting the Log scale Pseudo-Log input, Linear-Log input Example 3 Positive scale in which the mantissa of the scale lower limit and the mantissa of the scale upper limits are 1 This is the same as when the mantissa of the scale lower limit and the mantissa of the scale upper limit are both 1 in log input example 1.

Setting the Log scale Logging Set this On to display an alarm (notify you) when an alarm occurs. If set to Off, when an alarm occurs, the recorder outputs signals to alarm output DO channels or internal switches but does not display the alarm. Alarms are also not recorded in the alarm summary. Output type Set the alarm output destination.

Setting the Log scale Setup Examples pseudo-Log input and Log input (nonlinear log) setup examples are shown below. Setting the Pseudo-Log Range This setting is for logging the pseudo log output (see the table below) of a vacuum gauge.

Setting the Log scale Setting the Log input (Nonlinear Log) In this example, pressure is measured by applying calibration correction to linearly approximate the nonlinear output of a vacuum gauge. Calculating linearizer Input and linearizer output The following figure is an example of a nonlinear output of a vacuum gauge. The 10 red dots in the figure are the set points for the linearizer approximation.
