• ComputationDataDropout
  A computation data dropout occurs if the computation is not completed within the scan 
interval. For the operating procedure, see section 9.4.

reducing the number of computation channels or setting a longer scan interval.
• NumericDisplayandRecording
  The range of displayed values of computed data is from –9999999 to 99999999 
excluding the decimal point. The decimal place corresponds to the decimal place of 
the lower limit span of the computation channel. On the numeric display, values are 
displayed if the computed result is within the above range regardless of the upper and 
lower limits of span. The following table indicates special displays.

• RollingAverage
  The rolling average of the computed result of the equation specified for the 
computation channel is determined, and the result is the computed data for that 
channel. The number of samples and the sampling interval can be specified for each 
computation channel. The rolling average is applied over the time corresponding to “the 
number of data samples × the sampling interval.” The maximum sampling interval is 1 
hour, and the maximum number of samples is 1500.
• StartingtheComputation
  You can configure the DX to start the computation when you press the START key.
• UsageofTLOGComputations
  TLOG computation determines the sum, maximum, minimum, average, or the 
difference between the maximum and minimum of a specific channel for each interval 
determined by a timer.
 TimersThatAreUsed
  The timer that is used is assigned to each channel.
 UnitofSumComputation
  Set the sum scale when using sum computation (TLOG.SUM).
  Select Off, /s, /min, or /h. For details, see page 1-51.
