CHAPTER 3 Settings and Measurement
(3)-1 Start side source setting
This is used to specify trigger conditions to start data capture.
Selection item Description
Off Starts capturing data unconditionally when you press the [START/STOP] key.
Level Starts capturing data when a specied level is reached.
-> When Level is selected, the condition for each channel must be set.
Refer to “Trigger Level Settings/Alarm Level Settings” desdcribed below.
Alarm Starts capturing data when an alarm is generated in the specied alarm port.
External Input Starts capturing data when an input signal is received from an external trigger terminal.
* A trigger is established at a transition from 5 V (open) to 0 V (shorted to the ground).
A falling edge operation occurs.
Date Starts capturing data when specied date and time arrives.
Weekly Starts capturing data at the specied time on days of week for which On is set.
Example: On is set for Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, and Fri, Off is set for Sun and Sat, and 9:00 is
set as the time.
Starts capturing data at 9:00 on weekdays. Does not start capturing data on Sat
and Sun.
Time Starts capturing data when a specied length of time elapses.
(3)-2 Stop side source setting
This is used to specify trigger conditions to stop data capture.
Selection item Description
Off Stops capturing data unconditionally when you press the [START/STOP] key.
Level Stops capturing data when a specied level is reached.
-> When Level is selected, the condition for each channel must be set.
Refer to “Trigger Level Settings/Alarm Level Settings” desdcribed below.
Alarm Stops capturing data when an alarm is generated in the specied alarm port.
External Input Stops capturing data when an input signal is received from an external trigger terminal.
* A trigger is established at a transition from 5 V (open) to 0 V (shorted to the ground).
A falling edge operation occurs.
Date Stops capturing data when specied date and time arrives.
Weekly Stops capturing data at the specied time on days of week for which On is set.
Example: On is set for Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, and Fri, Off is set for Sun and Sat, and 9:00 is
set as the time.
Stop capturing data at 9:00 on weekdays. Does not stop capturing data on Sat and
Sun..
Time Stops capturing data when a specied length of time elapses.
•
When External Input is used as the trigger source, no stop trigger is accepted for 50 ms after capture is
started.
•
When the start trigger is External Input, data is captured at sampling intervals (xed to 5 seconds if they
are more than 5 seconds) and retained temporarily.
This retained data is refreshed at sampling intervals (xed to 5 seconds if they are more than 5 seconds).
Since the external trigger input operation conducts detection at 10 ms intervals asynchronously from
sampling, the retained data becomes the rst point when an external trigger is detected. Starting from
this point, data is captured at sampling intervals.
•
Even when the stop trigger is sent from an external device, the detection is executed in 10 ms. The data
capture is stopped when the stop trigger is received.
