Standard Functions
Function Description Function Description
Analog Recording Makes analog recording with 6 colored dots. Self Diagnostics Indicates “Error” and code when there is a fault.
Digital Display Indicates channel number, process variable, date, chart speed and alarm setpoint. Open Input Indication Sets indicator at over 100% or 0% for an input.
Logging Print Prints date, time, scaling, chart speed, process variable, and engineering unit at a programmed interval. Tag Number Sets a tag number by 7 figures every channel.
List Print Prints chart speed, sensor type, measurement range, engineering unit, alarm setting value comment, printing description, logging print and on/off zone. Copy Function Copies a channel setup. 
Affix Print Prints channel number by the analog recording. Setting Input Offset etting input offset is possible for every channel. 
Dot Print Skip Skips recording of an unused channel. Zone Recording Specifies a recording area for every channel to separate into tracks.
Programming Programs chart speed, alarm setting value, logging, dot point skip, date and time. Alarm Print Prints occurrence time, occurrence channel, setting number, and alarm type in purple at occurrence of alarm.
Memory A built-in lithium battery protects the clock function backup. Alarm Recovery Print Prints recovery time, recovery channel, setting number, and alarm type in purple at recovering of an alarm. 
Alarm Sets 2 types–high and low–per channel for a total of 4 levels. Alarm Hysteresis Sets an alarm hysteresis width 0% full scale or  0.5% full scale.
Clock Indicates year, month, day, hour and minute.
