Can I install a communication module on a DR series expandable model and perform communications?

(ns-faq-darwin-8063-setting)

Yes, as long as the style number of the communication module is less than or equal to that of the main unit. The style number is printed on the name plate of the main unit and communication module. The main unit's name plate is back behind the ch...

Can I connect a DS subunit to the DR242 expandable model like an integrated unit?

(ns-faq-darwin-8042-select)

Only the DS600 can be connected directly to the back of the DR242. The DS400 is too narrow, and cannot be connected. Use the DS600's standard accessory parts to make the connection. The DS600 is attached to the DR232 expandable model main unit in...

Can I detect a subunit abnormality (cable, subunit main body) on the DR232 (expandable)?

(ns-faq-darwin-8012-setting)

You can with the following methods. If you short any channel of any module attached to the subunit (always 0 V in voltage measurement mode) and set an alarm and relay output on the channel, the alarm occurs constantly, and the alarm output relay turn...

(ns-faq-darwin-8039-spec)

No. The DR's recording interval is 2 seconds. If the scan interval is 0.5 seconds, 3 data measured from one recording to the next would be thinned. If 1 second, 1 data would be left out.

What is the type and lifespan of the battery that retains the DR240 main unit settings?

(ns-faq-darwin-8045-spec)

It is a lithium battery with a 10 year life (at an ambient temperature of 23°C, under normal operating conditions).

The DR230 is part number B9627AY (25 mm). The DR130 is part number B96855AY (10 mm).

When does the DR scale printout occur?

(ns-faq-darwin-8038-spec)

The DR's scale printout format can be selected for each channel as OFF, ON1, ON2, or ON3 (OFF means no printing). Also, the DR can accept mixed input, so the scale printout for each channel might differ. If so, the scale is printed out starting f...

When expandable model subunits are connected serially, if a middle subunit's power cuts out, what happens to the downstream subunits?

(ns-faq-darwin-8013-spec)

In principle, they should continue to run even if their upstream subunit has a power failure. However, temporal effects will be experienced (data acquisition will be temporarily lost, or certain data might become damaged).

If I'm doing manual printing on the DR, is the data printed out at the moment it is triggered (including for key operation)?

(ns-faq-darwin-8036-spec)

The current data is not necessarily printed when the manual printout is started. With data that is manually printed, 1 scan's worth of data is held every scan. When a manual printout is requested, that 1 scan's worth of data is sent, and prin...

How can I clear DR digital printout (including the date)?

(ns-faq-darwin-8035-setting)

You can set digital printout for each channel. If you turn digital printout of all channels OFF, digital printout stops, including the date.

I can't set the data length for loading data into memory on the DR.

(ns-faq-darwin-8037-spec)

When creating a data file in memory (512 KB RAM), files are added without overwriting until the memory is full. Therefore if the set data length is longer than the remaining memory, the setting can no longer be entered. Check the amount of memory whe...

(ns-faq-darwin-8051-spec)

For 0.5 second models, temperature is measured for RJC every 2.5 seconds (with a 0.5 second scan, since the time for processing temperature measurement, burnout, and other factors is too short, measurement occurs every 5 cycles). For 2.0 second mode...

What internal processing occurs of the DI input (non-voltage contact input) from the universal input module and DCV/TC/DI modules?

(ns-faq-darwin-8050-spec)

The voltage generated when a burnout current of 4.2 mA flows to the measuring terminal circuit is measured in the 60 mV range, and a determination is made. If 42 mV (10 kΩ) or more, the result is 0 (open). If less than that, 1 (closed).

When the counter is up, does it go back to zero?

(ns-faq-darwin-8061-spec)

Unless you set the counter to go back to zero with the SETUP function, an overflow results.

When loading data on a PC via RS-232C communication, is a horizontal parity check performed?

This requires upgrading the DARWIN hardware style. Please submit for factory rework.

What is the difference between RELATIVE and ABSOLUTE in the timer settings?

(ns-faq-darwin-8006-spec)

RELATIVE: Count begins from the moment the timer time is set, and timeup occurs when a set time is reached. For example, if timer 1 is currently at 7 days/10 hours/00 minutes, and you set 01 days/10 hours/00 minutes, the timeup occurs every...

What are the burnout determination criteria (just for thermocouples)?

(ns-faq-darwin-8007-spec)

4.2 µA flows from a burnout power supply, resistance is measured, and the determination is made. : Thermocouple is normal: Less than 10 KΩ Thermocouple breaks, and while it is breaking: 10 KΩ or more

I do a burnout with the burnout setting command (XB) and set +OVER, but even when one side of the thermocouple is open the burnout check doesn't work.

(ns-faq-darwin-8005-spec)

After entering Setup mode settings (including burnout), you have to store the settings using the XE command. If you don't send the XE command, the settings are ignored.

When outputting measured data, what happens if I specify channels not identified by the FM command?

When applying a moving average, the decimal places matches the number of digits in the range.

What does the specification, "Signal supply rating 15 VDC, 30 mA" mean?

(ns-faq-darwin-8008-spec)

The input types are non-voltage contact and open collector. Hence, it is not necessary to input a voltage to pulse input. This specification shows the withstand voltage and current capacity determined for contacts or transducers. In other words, a co...

What do "initial balancing" (EXEC) and "initialization" (INIT) of the strain input channels mean?

(ns-faq-darwin-8010-term)

When measuring strain with initial balancing (EXEC), measurement is performed using the state with the gauge connected as a reference criterion. Therefore, you must balance the bridge with the gauge connected. This balancing is called initi...

Why aren't thermocouples included in certificates of results?

(ns-faq-darwin-8014-other)

Thermocouple data is generally not included with our digital devices. The accuracy of data measured with thermocouples is the combined accuracies of: the thermocouple itself; the temperature compensator; the linearization that approximates the thermo...

When I acquire DI input with the BFD32 and perform statistical computation (averaging) on the Viewer software, I get computation errors 0 and 1.

(ns-faq-darwin-8004-spec)
