|
| Measurement modes |
|
- Pen recorder mode
Pen recorder mode is used to output data to chart paper directly. This mode shows pen-written waveforms on the screen. Amplifiers and chart speed can be set similar to a chart recorder.
- Paper feed speed: 100 mm/s to 1 mm/min
- Recording resolution (time axis): 20 to 80 dots/mm
- Recording resolution (amplitude axis): 8 dots/mm
|
- HD recorder mode
HD recorder mode saves data to a 160 GB HD or 256 GB SSD for long term storage. One microsecond sampling is possible when only 1 channel is used. When all 16 channels are used data can be recorded every 10 µs.
- Continuous recording
Data is recorded to two gigabyte chunks. When more than two gigabytes is recorded another chunk is created and recording continues. Previously recorded data can be viewed during measurement. Moreover, this also limits damage caused by file corruption caused by power outages, etc. during recording.
- Sample data and peak data
The Omniace is a digital recorder that converts analog input signals for storage as digital data. Error is introduced to the recorded data due to the relationship between the speed of this AD conversion and the frequency component of the input signal.
When the Omniace records an input signal, it is possible to record high frequency noise independent of the print speed. Additionally with the HD recorder, data can be stored to a hard disk for analysis.
- Sample data
With this method, raw data is faithfully recorded at the designated recording speed (every 10 ms in this example).
- Peak data
Sampling is performed at the maximum sampling speed over the set recording interval (10 ms in the example) and the maximum and minimum values are recorded. This allows compression of data without losing peak values. However, peak data requires twice the recording capacity of the sample data method.
- Data looping
Data can be looped endlessly when recording over uncertain timeframes with unpredictable anomalies. With this function the most recent data is always stored to the hard drive.
- Reduce recording paper costs
Two gigabytes can hold two-hundred and nine 30 m recording paper rolls.
|
- Memory recorder
Record data at high speeds (up to 1μs) to internal memory (2 mW/ch). Memory from unused channels can be used for up to 32mW recording on one channel. Additionally, various measurement conditions can be set with trigger functions.
Data input to memory can be output to recording paper or other storage device.
- Sample rate: 1 μs to 100 s (depends on the input device)
- Memory capacity: 2 megawords/ch
- Memory divisions: 1-128
- Recording operations
By partitioning the memory block, it is possible to repeat multiple recordings.
- One time
Data is recorded until a single partition is full. ※Full use of recordable time on partition
- Repeated
Data is recorded until all partitions are full.
- Endless
After recording data over all memory blocks, data is overwritten from the beginning. Recording ends with the stop key.
- Pre-trigger functions
- Trigger modes
- OR - Recording begins when any trigger conditions are true
- AND - Recording begins when all trigger conditions are true
- WINDOW - Recording begins when the signal level of the specified channel falls within the set range (IN) or when it deviates from the range (OUT).
- Pre-trigger (only in memory recorder mode)
With this function a trigger point is set as a boundary and data leading up to the trigger point can also be recorded. Data can be recorded before and after the trigger point which is set as a percentage of the full memory capacity of the block. The example shows the pre-trigger set to 25%. In this case data before the trigger event will be saved to 25% of the memory capacity of the block.
|
- Multi-recorder mode
Multi-recorder mode enables simultaneous recording to paper output, hard drive and memory.
It is possible to record sudden phenomenon to the memory while recording on the chart paper or to the HDD or SSD.
- X-Y Recorder
This mode records input signals from selected channels on an X-Y chart (X-axis: 1 channel, Y-axis: 3 channels). Output can be printed to chart paper at high resolution (1600 dot x 1600 dot).

| Replay Display Function |
|
- Search large amounts of data quickly
The RA2300 MKII is equipped with functions to search large amounts of data quickly.
- Thumbnail bar
The waveform image of the recorded data for one selected channel can be displayed on the thumbnail bar. This data is easy to read and can be expanded by touching the point you want to see in greater detail.
- Jump search
The four methods below can be used to search data.
- Time - Jump to a specific time.
- Address - Jump to a time from the start of measurement.
- Significant point - Jump to the maximum and minimum values.
- Event - Jump to the marks made during recording.
|
- Numeric display of waveforms
Scale, signal name, numerical value and/or time interval can be displayed for waveforms between the 2 cursors on the replay monitor.
|
|
| Useful features |
|
- Shutdown
Memory data and measurement conditions are automatically saved to the hard drive when the device is turned off. This information is automatically loaded from the hard drive the next time the device is started so measurement can begin with the same settings.
- Easy setup
Up to 4 measurement conditions can be saved. Measurement conditions can be saved for each test, eliminating the need to make complicated configurations each time.
 |
- Timer
Automated measurements are performed at specified times and intervals.
|
- CSV file conversion
The RA2300MKII can output files in CSV format for processing measurement data with spreadsheet or analysis software. It is equipped with functions to reduce measurement data size or convert large amounts of measurement data at once.
|
|
| Connecting PCs or peripherals |
|
- PC connection
The RA2300 can be controlled remotely via Ethernet connection to a PC. You can use Unifizer NS3300 (optional software) to record data, configure settings and start recording.
|
- Sharing files with a PC
File sharing with a PC via Ethernet is possible. You can transfer the recorded data to your PC.
|
- High-capacity data storage
File sharing with a PC via Ethernet is possible. You can transfer the recorded data from your PC.
|
- Measures against power failure during long-term recording
When the RS2300MKII is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the shutdown procedure will be performed automatically during a power failure. If a power outage occurs during long term recording, the recording operation can be terminated by a signal from UPS and the RA2300MKII can be turned off.
※Optional RS232C unit or remote unit is required

|
| High speed, high density recording |
|
High speed (100 mm/s) and high density (80 dot/mm at 25 mm/s) recording is possible. Easily change the division of the waveform record and the width of the recording area, etc.
- Paper feed speed: 100 mm/s to 1 mm/min
- Recording resolution: 10 to 80 dots/mm (time axis), 8 dots/mm (voltage axis)

| Arithmetic Operation FFT unit (RA23-751) |
|
This unit performs arithmetic processing (interval statistic calculation, function calculation, FFT analysis) on the data stored in memory, HDD or SSD and displays the results in table, time axis waveform or frequency formats.
Experiments that required a data recorder for measurement and analyzer for analysis can be done with the Omniace alone. |
