Input Filter
The two types of filters, the low-pass filter and the anti-aliasing filter, can be used to
remove high frequency noise from the input signal. Select the low-pass filter setting from
40 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 4 kHz, 10 kHz, 40 kHz, and OFF. Select the anti-aliasing
filter setting from 20 Hz, 40 Hz, 80 Hz, 200 Hz, 400 Hz, 800 Hz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, 20
kHz, 40 kHz, and OFF after selecting the
AAF
check box.
Acquisition Mode
Select the measurement data acquisition method from the following four modes:
Triggered (Trigger Mode)
Click
Start
. The measured data is acquired to the acquisition memory according to the
specified trigger condition. After acquiring the specified record length of data, the
operation stops. If the
Repeat
check box
*
is selected, the operation repeats until the
next time Start is clicked.
*
The Repeat check box appears only when the expression “optimal number of memory partitions
≥
2
×
the number of measurements” is satisfied. The “optimal number of memory partitions”
refers to the number of partitions that is used as a matter of convenience inside the module. In
some cases, the memory can be partitioned into smaller sections depending on the record
length and the number of channels. In such cases, the maximum possible number of partitions
is determined, and this value is taken to be the “optimal number of memory partitions.”
The optimal number of memory partitions is the largest value of 2
n
which is smaller than
“4,194,304/(the number of channels specified for the channel mode
×
the record length).” For
example, if the channel mode is 2CH and the record length is 10000, the calculation is
4,194,304/(2
×
10000) which is approximately 210. In this case, the optimal number of
partitions is 128. Thus, if the number of acquisitions is less than or equal to 64, the Repeat
check box appears. If it is larger than 64, the check box does not appear. If the optimal value
exceeds 256, the number of partitions is set to 256.
Free Run (Free Run Mode)
Click
Start
. The measured data is acquired immediately to the acquisition memory. If
Start is clicked again, the operation stops.
Gate (Level) (Gate (Level) Mode)
The measurement data is acquired during the time that the specified trigger condition is
satisfied (gate period). If the specified record length of data is acquired before the gate
period ends, the acquisition stops at that point. The operation repeats the number of
times specified by the number of acquisitions. If you stop the measurement before this
number is reached, the operation stops immediately.

Gate (Edge) (Gate (Edge) Mode)
Data acquisition starts when the specified trigger condition is satisfied and pauses when
the trigger condition is no longer satisfied. When the trigger condition is satisfied again,
data acquisition starts at a new memory block. The operation repeats the number of
times specified by the number of acquisitions. If you stop the measurement before this
number is reached, the operation stops immediately.
