Chapter 1. OVERVIEW
1.1. Introduction
The ARF200 Paperless Recorder is able to measure temperature and various other industrial process
quantities from 12 through to 24, 36 and 48 channels, and display various data in real time on a
12.1-inch TFT color LCD. This recorder can also store measured data in its internal memory or on a
memory card (CF card or USB memory). Stored data can be loaded into off-the-shelf software like
Excel, and data analysis software especially designed for the ARF200 is also available.
 Main Features
・
A variety of screen displays
Real-time trends, bar graphs, data in table format, and combined displays of real-time
trends plus bar graphs, real time trends with numeric values, and real time trends plus
historical trends can be freely selected and monitored in the most suitable display format
for your requirements. Other displays include a summary of past alarm activity and a list
of annotations made with the marker function. In addition, up to 6 channel groups can be
registered, allowing easy switching between them and 4-split screen display.
・
Marker function
Symbols and annotations (up to 30 alphanumeric characters) can be written on trend
screens. Annotations can be written freely, and also up to 50 can be assigned to key
combinations for easy writing. Annotations can be written on stored and replayed trend
screens, too. Adding a symbol only without text is also possible.
・
Various memory functions
Start/stop of data storage can be executed by user-selected conditions like key operation,
alarm occurrence, time, etc. and simultaneous storage to as many as 6 files is available.
In normal operation, data is stored in internal memory and can be saved on a CF memory
card.
・
Analog recorder feeling
Since the trend screen displays data in chart format with scales and “pens,” monitoring
the data has the feel of monitoring an analog recorder.
・
Easy setup
Parameters are set easily and interactively by selecting an item from the menu and then
by opening a window. Fast setup of essential parameters can be done on the Home screen.
・
Consumables not required
Since it is paperless, this recorder does not require the consumables needed by other
recorders, like charts, pens and ink.
・
Easy data management
Older data stored on a CF card can be read and managed using off-the-shelf software like
Excel (a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation).
・
Availability of software package
Data analysis can be executed conveniently on a PC with a dedicated software package,
ARF Data Analysis Tool, sold separately (ARF990DA0000, for Windows).
