Panasonic AX40 System configuration, CompactFlash and Ethernet, CompactFlash storage, 10/2004

System configuration

CompactFlash and Ethernet

Ethernet

AX40s can be connected to a LAN using high- speed Ethernet (100BASE-TX) to meet various application requirements. Measurement data during operation can be transmitted at high speed to a PC. Also, the inspection status of multiple AX40s can be monitored from a single PC. Image backups are also easy thanks to this high-speed interface.

CompactFlash storage

Backup and restoration of setting data and saved images are possible. Also, up to 512 MB of measurement data can be directly written to a CompactFlash card, even during operation.

Add power by using spreadsheet software such as Excel to interpret data and analyze trends.

*Backed up image data can be used as regular bitmap files on a PC.

Keypad operation

The amazingly easy-to-operate keypad, which resembles the feel of a game and which was popular in the A series, has been inherited by the AX40.
