7.16Changing Default Settings for REMOTE Operation (option)

This paragraph describes the way to change default settings for REMOTE operation.

NOTE The settings concerning the REMOTE option (/R1) are always accessible, and data entry will be ignored if your instrument is not equipped with this option.

The /R1 option allows you to execute functions on this instrument by a remote trigger (contact input).

The functions which can be executed by a remote trigger are:

•start/stop the recording

•change the chart speed to a preset second chart speed

•have messages printed out (up to five messages)

However, the /R1 terminal has only five terminals, which means that only five functions can be triggered. The printing out of one message takes up one terminal.

Initially the functions are assigned to the terminals as follows:
1:	start/stop the recording [	] (Record)
2:	change the chart speed to a preset second chart speed [		] (Chart Speed)
3:	have message 1 printed out [	] (Message 1)

4:have message 2 printed out [ ] (Message 2)

5:have message 3 printed out [ ] (Message 3)

The purpose of this setting is to assign the to be triggered functions to the five terminals.

SETTING PROCEDURE:

Enter the SET UP mode by turning ‘ON’ the power while pressing and holding the [CH

UP] (ENT) key until the SET UP display appears.

Use the [ ] key to select the display [ ]. Press the [ENT] key.

Use the [		] key to select the terminal No. ([		] to [	]) ( /R1 has five
terminals.) Press the [ENT] key.
Use the [		] key to select the function which you want to assign to that terminal. You
can choose from [			] (start/stop recording), [		] (second chart speed),
[		] to [	] (message No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Press the [ENT] key. The display
[	] appears.

Before leaving the SET UP mode, you have to store your new settings. Use the [ ] key

to select the [ ] display, and press the [ENT] key.

Select [ ] to keep your new settings or [ ] to abort the settings, and press the [ENT] key. After a few seconds, the OPERATION mode will appear.

NOTE If you select ‘start/stop recording,’ recording stops if the remote input terminal is open and starts if the terminal is closed. If you press the [RCD] key during the startup of remote-controlled recording, recording stops. In contrast, if you press the [RCD] key during the shutdown of remote-controlled recording, recording starts. You can start/stop remote-controlled recording even during the start/stop sequence of recording based on the [RCD] key.
