1-1 Product Introduction

-

The 8804 Memory HiCorder is a new type of waveform recorder that can perform observation and recording simultaneously. It provides both analog and logic input channels, and can be used for each and every application, from low speed phenomena to high speed phenomena.

-

A digital trigger circuit is used. Many and various settings are available, with functions such as trigger level, trigger slope or trigger filter, or types such as windowsut trigger, or any other digital function. The trigger operation is possible at voltage drops in commercial power supplies and varying the effective value.

The main features of the 8804 are:
(1) A compact, light and portable unit

Because the 8804is compact and it is highly portable. - can be powered either through anlight,adapter or by batteries. it The 8804 is also extremely convenient as a portable unit, since AC
(2) Analog inputs and logic inputs

(7) Quick and easy to see waveform reference and observation The unit has a 4.9 inch (320 X240 dot) liquid crystal display. (8) Recording of the required portion at the required time By using a fast thermal printer which has a high resolution of 10 mm/division, only the required portion of the recording need be taken. A screen copy can be easily printed at any time.
(9) High grade intelligence

A 8 channel logic input unit is fitted. The logic inputs all have a common ground with the main unit. The data for two channels of analog inputs and eight channels of logic inputs can be simultaneously displayed and recorded.
(3) Powerful waveform capture capability

The 8804 is provided with high grade auxiliary functions, such as the use of cursor measurement, a wealth of calculation functions, etc.
(10) Scaling function

- The 8804 can reliably capturethe very high samplingitspeed9-bit400 sudden events, since has high resolving power, operates at of
kS/s, and has a maximum memory capacity of 64 k words (when channel 1 is being used).

- units used,theisphysical amount of input signal data,the name of the By setting and it possible to convert measured which are
obtained as voltage values, into values in set units.

(4) Floating analog input units

- The analogindependentfloating, and so each input can be connected inputs are to its own potentials.
The 8804 is provided with several function modes: a Memory recorder function mode (also providing an X-Y plot function) for reliably catching high speed dhenomena such as transient phenomena; a Recorder function mode which is capable of continuous real time recording over a long time period; a Continuous X-Y recorder function mode for X-Y plots; and an RMS recorder function mode which is capable of measurement of commercial power supplies voltage value by the effective value.

1-2 System Operation
The following page shows a block diagram of the system. O T h e 8804 incorporates a 8-bit microcomputer (CPU), which controls the entire system. QThe analog input units incorporate 9-bit A/D converters, and are connected to the 8804 main unit via photocouplers. (The photocouplers are in the analog input units.) Each channel uses a separate power source, which is completely electrically insulated from the main 8804 unit.

3-1 Points to be Attended to During Setup
(1) AC adapter Always use the specified 9418 AC adapter. The AC adapter is prior to the battery when using together. (2) Battery Use the specified 9420 Battery Pack or size AA (LR6P) alkaline cells. Never use with other batteries, such as manganese cells, etc. If not recharge batteries, the 9420 batteries can not be used. Note that performance will suffer if old and new batteries or batteries of different types are used together. Especially do not use the 9420 batteries together with different types. If the battery voltage drops while the unit is running off of battery power, the 8804 will automatically switch off the power supply. Note that if the unit is left in this state for an extended period of time, the battery pack may be discharged too much. When the battery capacity is reduced, the power is automatically turned off. Before turning on the power again with AC adapter or new batteries, turn the power off and leave for about 30 minutes. For the details on changing and charging batteries, refer to Section 14-1 "Changing the Battery" and Section 14-3 "Recharging the Battery".

(3) Protective grounding:

- Whenconnect the unit to a goodifground connection. plug cannot be using the AC adapter and a grounded power used,
- Be sure to ground the 8804 properly even when using batteries.

(4) Environment for use: The temperature and humidity ranges for use of the 8804 are 5°C to 40°C and 35% to 80% relative humidity. Also, do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, dust, or corrosive gas.

If the unit is left to lie in the state where the roller is being subjected to pressure by the head, then the roller may become deformed or the characters may become uneven. Particularly care should be taken not to put the recording paper in back to front by mistake, because if this happens the waveform cannot be drawn.

3-3 Care of Recording Paper
Do this very carefully, because if the recording paper is slanted with respect to the roller there is a danger that later a paper jam will @Put down the head up/down lever. @Pull the recording paper to the outside through the printer exit slot in the stock cover. Thermosensitive recording roll paper which until use is kept in normal conditions will not be affected by the environment However the paper should not be kept for a long time at a temperature higher than 40°C. Low temperatures cause no problems. There is a tendency for the texture of the paper to be discolored if the paper is strongly illuminated for a long time. Therefore, after taking off the wrapping paper, be careful not to leave the roll paper in strong light
How to store your data Because the recording paper is thermosensitive paper which takes advantage of thermochemical reactions, attention should be paid to the following points in order to maintain the integrity of the recorded data.

Do not expose the paper to direct sunlight Keep the paper in conditions below 40°C and 90% relative humidity. The proper way to file and store recorded data is to take the trouble to copy it. Thermosensitive paper changes color if it comes into contact with volatile organic solvents such as alcohols, esters, and ketones. If thermosensitive paper absorbs a non-volatile organic solvent such as an alcohol, an ester, or a ketone, its colorability is reduced, and fading of the recorded portion can occur. Be careful, because various types of pressure sensitive tape such as cling film or adhesive tape are in fact included in this class of non-volatile organic solvents. Do not put recordings and wet diazo copies on top of one another.

3-4 During Measurement
A DANGER The permitted input voltage at the input terminals of the analog input is 500 V (DC + AC peak). In order to avoid electric shock accident and damage to the equipment, be extremely careful not to exceed. The maximum floating voltage for the analog inputs is 450 VACIDC. In order to avoid electric shock accident and damage to the equipment, be extremely careful not to exceed the above voltage, either between any two channels, or between a channel and the main unit.

Low-pass filters (cutx~ff frequency) internal to the analog inputs can be set. With such internal filters the frequency can be restricted. This has the good effect of getting rid of the following phenomena:.

5-3-5 Head Tetn~erat~re Protection Function
The printer has a thermal head equipped with a temperature protection circuit. This cuts out operation of the printer if the head temperature reaches a certain level. It is therefore possible for the printer to stop operating while in use, and temporarily feed blank paper. The tendency of the head temperature to rise is exacerbated by a greater black area being printed, and by a faster paper feed speed. Additionally, higher ambient temperatures make it more likely that the head temperature will rise and trip the protective mechanism. When the temperature protection circuit operates, disabling printing, once the head temperature has cooled appropriately printing is once more possible. If printing stops repeatedly, it may be advisable to adjust the ranges to reduce the area of black printed.

6-1-1 Introduction
In this function mode, once the input signal has been stored in the memory of the 8804, it can be subjected to various forms of processing. By recording the data, a great number of useful ways of using it become possible: (1) Once an input signal has been stored in the memory, it can be displayed and recorded. (2) Recordingcan be performed for all input channels along the same time axis. Allowing the signals to overlap makes it easier to see their relative relationships. (3) The maximum sampling speed is 400 kS/s. (4) The maximum recording capacity (recording length) is 64 K words divided by the number of channels. (corresponding to 800 DT(! when channel 1(ch 1)is in use) , (5) The time axis s&e can be set ;o any of 18 levels, from 200 ps/ DIV to 2 min/DIV (6) Magnified and compressed display and recording are available, both along the time axis and along the voltage axis: Along the time axis .......

For a time axis waveform, SINGLE, DUAL, and for X-Y display and recording are available. (8) Partial printing is available. From a rewrded waveform, it is possible to extract and print only the section which one desires to see. (9) Reprinting is available. Once a waveform has been recorded, it can be printed as many times as desired. (10) With the pre-trigger function, it is possible to inspect the signal before the trigger point. (11)The conversion to the X-Y waveform plot is possible. (12) With the wealth of calculation functions, a captured waveform can be analyzed in various different ways.

(8) Screen setting (refer to Section 5-1-3 "Basic Setting Items for each Function" -@). From three types of screens (display format) can be selected. (9) Waveform X-Y plot (refer to Section 6-6 "Using X-Y Waveform Plots").
(10) Channel information function (refer to Section 5-1-3 "Basic Setting Items for each Function" -8). (11)Trigger function (refer to Section 11 "Trigger Function"). The user should select, from the many types of trigger available, one suitable for the objective desired. Level trigger, window-out trigger, logic trigger, voltage drop trigger can be used as the internal trigger. (12)Numerical calculation function (refer to Section 6-7 "Numerical Calculation Function"). Waveform parameter calculation can be performed. (13) Scaling function (refer to Section 12-6 "Scaling Function"). The scaling function allows the units and numerical values for the input voltaies to be converted, so that they can be directly read out as physical values of the parameters which are being measured. (14) Comment input function (refer to Section 12-4 "Appending Comments"). Instead of making handwritten memos on recordings, comments can be input. (15)List and gauge functions (refer to Section 12-3-3 "Listing and Gauge Functions"). These provide voltage axis scales and listings of settings on printed recordings.
