About the Number of Channels
When [8 × 8CH] is selected with Model
8861-50: Up to 64 channels each can be
used in the upper and lower tiers (total
number of usable channels [(8 × 8CH) × 2]
= 128 channels).
Decreasing the number of channels to be used below the number of chan-
nels set [On]
Channels are automatically set to [Off] , starting with the lowest channel.
When also using logic channels:
Select [8 × 8CH + L] to use the maximum number of Model 8958 16-Ch Scanner
Unit channels (four 8958s in the Model 8860-50, or eight in the 8861-50). In this
case, the maximum recording length is halved.
If “Too many measurement channels” appears
You have tried to use more channels than the number enabled for use. Either
increase the number of channels to use, or turn unneeded channels [Off].
