Multi-Controller Features

(4)Same Compact Size as Sensor Controller

• The Multi-Controller is the same compact size as the Sensor Controller, which

means that it can be installed at a wide range of sites.

External Dimensions p.5-6

•A wide range of processing functions (e.g. filter and hold) the same as those on a Sensor Controller are incorporated on the Multi-Controller, enabling processing of

logic operations matched to specific applications.

List of Setup Items p.3-9

(5)USB Connection

A USB port (Full-Speed USB2.0 specification-compliant) is provided as standard on the Multi-Controller. This enables the results of operations between Sensor Controllers to be easily loaded to a personal computer.

(6)Dedicated Software “SmartMonitor Zero”

The “SmartMonitor Zero” software for setting up and monitoring multi-window displays and logging is provided (Sold separately). This software also supports the display and setup of data such as monitoring of waveforms and designation of area that is not possible on the Sensor Controller alone.
