For details on the settings, see page 1-94 in section 1.9.1, “Setting the Type of Data to
Record (Display or event data) and Recording Conditions”.
To also start computing, in the math channel settings, you need to set START/STOP key
action to Start / Stop or Reset + Start / Stop.
For details on the settings, see page 1-60 in section 1.6.1, “Setting Basic Computation
Operations (Error indications, operation at start, overflow handling, PSUM overflow*
handling)”.
• If you are recording display or event data in free run mode, the GX/GP starts recording
when you start recording. If you are recording event data in trigger mode, the GX/GP
enters the trigger-wait state.
Digital values are updated, but waveform data will not appear until a trigger occurs. For
instructions on how to display waveforms, see the reference below.
For the procedure to apply record start triggers, see page 2-6 in section 2.1.3, “Applying a
Record Start Trigger for Event Data”.
•
For starting and stopping recording using event actions, see page 1-125 in section 1.15,
“Configuring the Event Action Function”.
Stopping Recording
For the procedure when the batch function is in use, see page 2-4 in section 2.1.2,
“Using the Batch Function”.
1
Press MENU.
The menu screen appears.
2
Tap Record.
The record stop screen appears.
3
Tap Rec+Math or Record.
Recording stops. The recording status icon indicates stopped.
When computation (/MT option) is in progress, you can select Rec+Math. Computation
stops when recording stops.
Operation complete
• You can also use the START/STOP key. However, whether the record stop screen
appears or the recording stops immediately will depend on the Record confirmation action
setting.
• If START/STOP key action in the math channel settings is set to Start / Stop or Reset +
Start / Stop, computation also stops when you press the START/STOP key.
Explanation
Operations That Start When Recording Starts
• Waveform display updating on the trend display
• Reporting (/MT option)
• Computation (/MT option; when START/STOP key action is set to Start / Stop or Reset
+ Start / Stop)
Operations That Stop When Recording Stops
• Waveform display updating on the trend display
• Reporting (/MT option)
• Computation (/MT option; depends on the setting specified in the procedure above)
