A. B/W CURSOR The data between A and B is the target and the number of detection results is 1. Cursor A moves to the point where the search result is Cursor A, according to the cursor link set to A.
Threshold 0 For [ALL] For [B/W CURSOR] The figure above is the search result when the search setting is LEVEL UP and the threshold is set to 0. The search is executed for the topmost sine wave (1,000 waves or more).
If there is no sample data equal to the length of the filter before and after the search point, that detection point is disabled. When the filter is set to 10 (samples), searching is performed from the 11th item of sample data.
Because the local maximums are valid from the 11th item of sample data, those local maximums are the detection points. The 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th, and 21st items of sample data are not deemed to be local maximums due to filtering.

The data length differs measurement according to the data format of the sampling and the number data of channels with measurement enabled. For details, see "10.9.3 Measurement data block”.
Measurement data is two bytes of binary data. Measurement data can be divided into the analog channel data of a module such as an analog input module and the logic channel data of a logic module. The format of the measurement data also differs according to the data format.
Page 257
The measurement data of channels with measurement enabled is output in order. Analog channel data is ordered with the minimum value before the maximum value. Logic channel data is ordered with the level before the flag and has both CHA and CHB values if measurement is enabled for either CHA or CHB.
