Measurement Data 1.17 Measurement Data The cautions about measurement data are described as follows. Synchronization and time lag The instrument and each wireless module have a clock used for sampling data. Plug-in units use the instrument’s clock as the basis for sampling. During measurement, differences in sampling timing will develop gradually between wireless units and plug-in units, and between individual wireless units, because the instrument and wireless units keep time with different degrees of precision.
Measurement Data If communicates with a wireless module are disrupted Each wireless module is internally equipped with the buffer memory. If a wireless module cannot communicate with the instrument, which causes a data transmission error, the module will temporarily save the data in its buffer memory. When communications are restored, the module will resend the data for recovery.
Trigger Function Triggers provide functionality for starting and stopping measurement based on specific conditions and signals. When a specific condition (a trigger condition) occurs, the trigger is said to activate. The points at which triggers activate (i.e., the points in time at which trigger conditions are satisfied) are known as trigger points, which are identified by the mark.
Page 119
The instrument allows the following specific conditions to be set: Specific Description Reference condition page Start trigger Starts recording when the trigger condition is satisfied. p. 1 16 Example: Start recording when the temperature reaches or exceeds 50°C. Stop trigger Stops recording when the trigger condition is satisfied.
2.1 Trigger Meanings This section describes how to set start or stop conditions for measurement. You do so by setting the type of trigger (level, window, or pattern) and the slope (signal rising or falling). Trigger types The following three types of triggers are provided: Type Operation Description...
2.2 Enabling the Trigger Function This section introduces how to start and stop recording using the trigger function. Shared settings > > Under [Trigger], set the trigger function to [ON]. The trigger function will be set to [ON], and trigger settings will be enabled. Under [Timing], select the operation to perform when the trigger activates.
Page 122
Enabling the Trigger Function Under [Condition], select the condition for activating the trigger. Set the activation condition between triggers (analog, pulse, logic, waveform calculation, external, and interval) as a logical AND or logical OR operation. Recording will start immediately (free-run) if all trigger sources are OFF (if no trigger setting has been made).

Wireless Module Communications Range 11.3 Wireless Module Communications Range The communications range between the LR8450-01 and wireless modules is about 30 m (line of sight). If there are obstructions between the two devices (for example, walls, metal shielding, etc.), communications may become unstable, and the communications range may be reduced. Devices exhibit variability in radio field intensity (as shown by the antenna indicator), even in the same environment.
Digital filter characteristics 11.4 Digital filter characteristics The U8550, U8551, U8552, U8553, LR8530, LR8531, LR8532, and LR8533 have a digital filter. The cutoff frequency is set automatically based on the measurement module type, number of channels in use, data refresh interval, power supply frequency filter, and wire break detection setting.
Noise Countermeasures 11.5 Noise Countermeasures This section describes how to deal with a noisy environment. Noise contamination mechanisms Noise sources Manufacturing plants use large currents at 50 Hz/60 Hz as a source of power. Many loads are characterized by an inductive load, for example motors and solenoids. Equipment such as inverters and high-frequency induction furnaces uses capacitor input-type switching power supplies that carry large pulsed currents.

Keep signal lines (thermocouples) away from wires that could serve as sources of noise (power supply lines, etc.).
Page 392
Noise Countermeasures Adding capacitors to signal lines An effective way to address noise caused by superposed signal sources or high-frequency pulses is to insert a capacitor between the positive and negative input terminals. The capacitor will keep the noise out of the device’s internal circuitry. Use a capacitor whose rated voltage is greater than the voltage being input.

Example: Data refresh interval of 10 ms, measurement on for all 15 channels, wire break detection off Channels 1 to 15 are scanned with a duration of approximately 0.5 ms per channel.
Scan Timing U8552 and LR8532 The following diagrams provide examples of typical scan timing for the U8552 and LR8532 when using from 16 to 30 channels. If the number of channels in use is 15 or less, the scan timing is the same as for the U8550, U8551, LR8530, and LR8531.

Configure the settings as follows in the [Input] area for the channel being measured: Input type Voltage Range 1-5 V Ω Since a 250 resistor has been connected to the input terminals, 4 mA will be recorded as 1 V, and 20 mA will be recorded as 5 V.
Application Measurement Measuring power consumption using pulse output from a watt-hour meter This section introduces a method for measuring pulses from a watt-hour meter and converting them to power consumption. The method involves measuring the pulse output from a watt-hour meter (50,000 pulses per kWh) and recording the power consumption every 30 min.

Data Handling During Communications Disruption Synchronization and time lag in acquired data (During Communications Disruption) The instrument communicates with wireless modules to synchronize each module’s time with its time. If communications disruption occurs, the instrument cannot perform synchronization, shifting the times of the instrument and each module from one another.
Data Handling During Communications Disruption Disruption Connection Instrument Wireless module Triggers If communications are disrupted, the instrument cannot acquire data from wireless modules. In that case, the instrument will not check whether the trigger conditions are satisfied for the channels of such modules.
Data Handling During Communications Disruption When the stop trigger conditions are satisfied during the data recovery Description Starts recording from the start trigger point. Recovers all data retained in Module 1. Recovers data retained in Module 2. Stops the recovery and measurement because the stop trigger was satisfied while recovering data retained in Module 2.
