　number is 1.)
Connection method ：Ethernet, USB, COM
Address notation ：Expert/View-C, Standard
Performance ：Acquisition performance depends on the communication
　settings,connection method, and system configuration.
PISAC
(Option)		 Acquisition of data from the internal memory of MICREX-PIII or IX controller connected to MICREX-SX (SX, PIII, and IX each require a dedicated program.)
Address notation: Expert (Depending on the setting, the internal memory address can be added to a comment.)
MICREX variable
specification
(Standard)		 Dedicated program for MICREX series CPU (XX, SX) is not required.
Supported programmers ：Expert/View-C (installation required), Standard (installation not
　required)
Acquisition by specifying an arbitrary variable (global or local)
MICREX-XX XCS-3000 type I, Type E, MICREX-SX CPU compatible with all models (SPH300, 2000, 3000, 3000MM, 3000MG)
No. of acquisition CPUs ：6 CPUs (Maximum 13 CPUs when the address channel is 1.)
No. of variable names ：Multi-point mode:2,048 points (In the case of total number of basic data types, structure, array type, it will be larger than apparent)
: Continuous mode: Collect variables within the specified address range (Expert only)
Connection method ：Ethernet, USB, COM
Performance ：Acquisition performance depends on the communication
　 settings,connection method, and system configuration.
SX-Net data acquisition
(Option)		 Acquisition of SX-Net broadcast memory (Communication board for SX-Net (NP3L-NE1PXS) is necessary.)SX-Net communication unit: 64 words/block
Fastest speed: 1,024 words/1 ms (16 blocks)
Maximum: 30,720 words/30 ms (480 blocks)
Performance ：Data is acquired in the SX-Net scan cycle.
Inverter collection(DDC)
(Option)		 Inverter data collection (Inverter option board plusFSITE is necessary.)
Real-time acquisition, trace-back acquisition
Performance ：The acquisition cycle is determined by the plusFSITE model.
FL-net acquisition(OPCN-2)
(Option)		 Acquisition of FL-net broadcast memory (Communication board for FL-net (NP3L-FL3PXS) is necessary.)
8,704 (512 + 8192) words/100 ms
Storage capacity Depends on the storage capacity of the personal computer.
For example, assuming 68 GB is available (at an average compression rate of 60%):
①NISDAS Protocol (8 points/1 ms) acquisition: 88 days (about 68 GB)
②MICREX address (243 words/12 ms) acquisition: 34 days (about 67 GB)
③MICREX variable (512 points/100 ms) acquisition: 68 days (about 68 GB)
④SX-Net (1,024 words/1 ms) acquisition: 16 hours (about 66 GB)
Data display
(Analyzer)		 Chart display No. of channels ：16 channels/analyzer
No. of charts ：8 charts/channel
Multi Y axis ：Combines and displays signals of different scales.
Arithmetic functions ：Filter, chart differences, conversion, etc.
Cursors ：X cursor: Displays information between X1 and X2 cursors.
：Y Cursor: Displays information between Y1 and Y2 cursors.
：Statistical cursor: Displays statistical calculations between
　X1 and X2 cursors.
：Frequency cursor: Displays fast Fourier transform on the
　display time width.
Auto scroll ：Automatically scrolls during real time display and timed
　automatic feed.
Auto scale ：Automatically scales the Y axis width to the display value.
　(Locking is also possible.)
Template ：With the basic setting, immediately displays with only the
　signal definition.
Analysis and
calculation functions		 Fast Fourier transform (Power spectrum)
Statistical display (Minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, median, mode, variance, root mean square)
Calculation between measured values (Calculation using a dedicated macro is possible.)
Waveform search ：If a basic waveform is decided, search for a similar waveform as
　well as a numerical search is possible.
Printing Prints the contents of the screen.
API NISDAS data can be acquired from application programs. (Contact us for details.)
