Operations during Simultaneous Connection of Two Touch Finders
The following restrictions apply to operations when two Touch Finders are simultaneously connected to the
same Sensor.
Operation Sensor status Changes
Editing model regions
in Run Mode
Monitor Operation is possible with only one of the Touch Finders.
Operation will be possible from the Touch Finder where [Model region] was
pressed first.
Run Mode operations Setup
When either of the Touch Finders changes to Setup Mode, operation will no
longer be possible from the other Touch Finder.
When that occurs, a message will be displayed on the other Touch Finder
saying that another Touch Finder is currently setting up the Sensor.
A (Switch sensor) icon will be displayed on the lower right of the dis-
play.
When Run Mode operations are possible again, Run Mode will be dis-
played in the initial status.
Logging Monitoring or setup
Logging (including file logging and recent results logging) can be per-
formed by only one of the Touch Finders.
If logging is enabled on both of the Touch Finders, logging will be per-
formed only on the Touch Finder that was connected to the Sensor first.
An error will be displayed on the other Touch Finder when it connects to the
Sensor and logging will automatically be disabled.
If logging is disabled on both of the Touch Finders when they are con-
nected, logging will be performed only on the Touch Finder for which log-
ging is enabled first.
You can use the following parameter to enable and disable logging.

Trend monitors and histograms can be displayed only if logging is enabled.
Therefore, they can be displayed only on the Touch Finder for which log-
ging is enabled as described above.
