Graph

The graph function is not available for the following models.
Model: FR-A700, FR-B (700), FR-B3 (700), FR-F700, FR-F700P, and FR-E500
The inverter output frequency, current, and other data is sampled, and the result is displayed in a graph (waveform). Sampled
data can be saved to a file (*.jpg, *.emf, *.gp4, *.xlsx, or *.csv file), and sampling data saved to a file can be read (*.gp4 file, or
*.st1 import) and displayed.
The [Graph] window can be displayed by selecting [Graph] from the [Monitor] menu, or by clicking
There are two types of sampling methods.
• High speed sampling
Data is collected with the shortest sampling interval, approx. 0.125 [ms]. The target station of the sampling is only 1 station.
The high speed sampling is available when the connection method is USB or Ethernet connection.
The high speed sampling is not available when the computer is connected with the inverter via CC-Link IE TSN
communication.
To perform high speed sampling for the FR-E700 or FR-E700-EX inverter, close all windows other than the "Graph"
window.
• Monitor sampling
The sampling interval varies depending on communication settings (communication speed, communication port) and the
number of sampling items.

• Trace data display
Trace data, stored in the USB memory device by the inverter, can be read or imported to be displayed in the graph window.
For details of the trace function, refer to the Instruction Manual of the inverter.

NOTE
• Running other applications during high speed sampling, or performing personal computer file operations during high speed
sampling, etc., will cause communication errors (error code 0x80020007 or 0x80020008) or buffer overflow errors to occur,
and data will not be able to be displayed correctly. In this case, execute such countermeasures as terminating the other
applications, refraining from operation of FR Configurator2, and increasing the mask count setting of the sampling interval.
• The sampling interval varies depending on the inverter control method and presence/absence of plug-in options.

3. FUNCTION

3.4 Graph

High speed sampling: Set to between approx. 0.125 [ms] (mask count: 0) and approx. 20 [ms] (mask
count: 30)
Monitor sampling: Set to the range from 50 [ms] to 60000 [ms] (varies due to communication speed,
communication port, and number of sampling items)
High speed sampling: Maximum = (mask count +1) × 4000
Monitor sampling: Maximum = sampling interval × 4000
Analog data for 4 channels can be sampled.
Digital data for 4 channels can be sampled.
Analog data for 8 channels can be displayed in the graph window.
Digital data for 8 channels can be displayed in the graph window.
