Simultaneous Output of Measured Data via Communications and Saving to CF
Card (Dual Save Function)
Output of data to the PC via communications and saving of data to the CF card in the
MX100 main unit can be carried out simultaneously. Saving of data to the CF card is
linked with record start/stop commands from the PC. By combining commands for data
acquisition on the PC and saving of data to the CF card, it is possible to save measured
data to the PC and the CF card at the same time (the Dual Save function).
