With VJET or the UT351/UT551 Ethernet gateway function, the timeout for communication with devices connected downstream via serial communications takes approximately four to five seconds, so try setting the timeout on GateCONTROL to five or possibly more seconds.

When viewing MXLOGGER from DAQLOGGER, the MXLOGGER data is separated by MXLOGGER system number. The system number is automatically set depending on the measurement interval and units on the MX side. If you specify an MXLOGGER on DAQLOGGER and perform automatic model determination after specifying a system number at the same time as specifying an address, the number of channels belonging to the specified system number are set.

In general it is difficult to say becuase acquisition performance varies greatly according to factors such as communication speed and PC specifications in addition to the number of connected units and channels. In your case, the speed of your serial communication will have a big effect. If you connect an RS232/422 converter to your PC's RS232C port and perform communications at 9600 bps, you could expect around 30 channels per unit on 4 units. For instance, if you wish to connect five or more units of the µR1000/µR1800 and maintain acquisition at one-second intervals, use multiple PC COM ports and place every four units on a separate RS422 connection.

File conversion
Check the number of data and tags. EXCEL worksheets have a size limitation of 65536 rows and 256 columns. Set it so that the number of data along the time axis is 65536 or less, and that the number of tags is 250 or less.

Recording
In general the differences in recording functions are as follows.
  • On DAQLOGGER, data from multiple DXs are combined, and acquired and recorded using the time on the PC, thereby maintaining synchronicity.
  • On DAQEXPLORER, synchronicity is not maintained since files recorded based on the time on the DX are transferred, and the recorded data from multiple DXs are saved to separate files.

After starting the scan, you have to also start recording. After recording start, the file creation will start on the specified date and time.
