REMOTE TRIGGER RECORDING
In the remote trigger recording mode, data is automatically stored while the external trigger condition (analog or
discrete input) is true.
With an analog trigger, the signal are continuously compared with a preset threshold, and the 73VR3100 starts and
stops recording when it is in a pre-determined condition (higher or lower than the threshold).
With a discrete trigger, the signal logic state is continuously monitored, and the 73VR3100 starts and stops recording
when it is turned to a pre-determined state (ON or OFF).
n
Trigger Conditions for Analog
Value > Threshold
Data is stored while the trigger input signal value is higher
than the threshold setpoint.
Value < Threshold
Data is stored while the trigger input signal value is lower
than the threshold setpoint.
Value ≥ Threshold
Data is stored while the trigger input signal value is equal to
or higher than the threshold setpoint.
Value ≤ Threshold
Data is stored while the trigger input signal value is equal to
or lower than the threshold setpoint.
n
Trigger Conditions for Discrete
ON
Data is stored while the trigger input signal logic is ON.
OFF
Data is stored while the trigger input signal logic is OFF.
How to Set the Remote Trigger Recording
Figure 2.2.2. Remote trigger setting, analog.
Figure 2.2.2a. Remote trigger setting, discrete.
1. Storing setting: Pull down the arrow to the right of Storing Field and select Remote trigger. Choosing the Remote
trigger on the Data storing method view changes the subsequent menu items to those suitable for the remote
trigger recording mode.
2. Discrete / Analog: Choose a type of trigger signal.
Discrete
Contact signal trigger
A discrete signal triggers recording.
Analog
Analog signal trigger
An analog signal triggers recording.
3. Threshold: For analog signals, set a threshold in an engineering unit value.
Threshold
Engineering unit value. Max. 6 digits including decimal
point and minus (–) sign. ‘e’ is used to set an exponential
value.
4. Condition: Choose among the abovementioned options.
5. Pen number: Choose a pen to be designated as trigger.
