Chapter 1 External Output Overview

This chapter describes external output from the equipment.

Chapter 1 External Output Overview

10 ｜ 1-1 Types of External Output

RN1-4696.01

1-1 Types of External Output

You can connect LSC-8000 to other devices to use system's output functions to export measurement data

to the devices.

Three types of external output are supported: via RS-232C, USB, and Ethernet.

(1) RS-232C Output

We also provide the data acquisition software (Code: RPR-LSC-584B) for acquiring, viewing and

analyzing the measurement data. The measurement data can be exported to a computer running data

acquisition software by connecting LSC-8000 to the computer via an RS-232C cable.

The data files exported can then be viewed and analyzed using the data acquisition software.

(2) USB Output

Measurement data can be exported in CSV file format to USB flash drives connected to the system.

The data files exported can then be viewed and analyzed using commercially available spreadsheet

software.

(3) LAN Output

Measurement data can also be exported in CSV file format to the shared folders of computers

connected to the system via an Ethernet cable.

The data files exported can then be viewed and analyzed using commercially available spreadsheet

software.

1-2-2 USB output

Measurement data can be exported to USB flash drives connected to LSC-8000.

No additional software is needed.

 Do not connect keyboards, mouse devices, or other peripherals to the

USB port.

 To avoid infecting LSC-8000 with computer viruses, do not use

USB flash drives that have been connected to computers which

were not protected from viruses.

1-2-3 LAN output

Measurement data can be exported to the shared folders of computers connected to LSC-8000 via an

Ethernet cable. No additional software is needed.

To protect the equipment from the threat of computer viruses, limit connections to the local network. For

details of Ethernet connection, see Section 3-2.

To avoid infecting LSC-8000 with computer viruses, connect the

system to computers in the following kinds of networks.

 Computers running antivirus software that are not connected

to external networks

 Computers protected by firewalls to prevent unauthorized

access from external networks

Notice

1-3-2 Exporting Measurement Results

All sample measurement data is saved on the equipment's internal hard disk. The stored measurement

data can be exported to a PC via an Ethernet connection or to a USB flash drive.

Data files can be exported using the File management function on the Control/Calibration menu.

For details of how to use the file management function, refer to the Operation Manual, Section 8-9.

Pressing the Output button on the File management screen will display a File Output screen.

1. Output button

This button becomes available once you have selected at least one item in the Select column.

Although multiple items can be selected, this increases the time required for output of data files.

We recommend selecting no more than five items, because other operations are not possible

during data file output.

Select desired items in the Select

column and press the Output

button.

2. Output format

Select the file format when exporting via USB or Ethernet.

3. Output data

Select the type of data file to export via Ethernet or USB.

cpm･dpm: Export only cpm･dpm data files, without spectrum data files.

With this option, a smaller amount of data is exported than when exporting all

data, which enables many data files to be exported in a short period.

Spectrum: Export only spectrum data files, without cpm･dpm data files.

Because spectrum files are larger than cpm･dpm data files, exporting takes

some time.

All: Export both cpm･dpm data files and spectrum data files.

As with the Spectrum option described above, exporting will take some time.

4. File name

Specify the file name when exporting via Ethernet or USB.

Note that the number of characters available for the file name is determined by the output type

selected in 2.

Type 1: Up to 6 single-byte characters.

Spectrum file names are three characters or less. (If you specify four

characters or more, the extra characters will be truncated.)

Types 2 or 3: Up to 20 single-byte or 10 double-byte characters. (Alphanumeric characters

and French or Chinese supported.)

* The following characters are illegal characters in Windows. Do not use these characters in

file names. ( ¥ , / , : , * , ? , " , < , > , | )

5. Output destination

Select the destination for the data files.

Select either USB or LAN. (Both destinations cannot be selected at the same time.)

6. OK button

Exports data files according to the information specified in steps 2 to 5.

7. Cancel button

Discards information specified in steps 2 to 5 and cancels output of data files.

 Only Type 1 output is available for results from preparing correction

curves, validation, normalization, and automatic calibration.

In this case, Types 2 and 3 cannot be specified.

 If the measurement data with Print format unspecified is exported in

the Type3 format, the data is exported in the default Print format.

TE

NO

If the measurement data of validation, normalization or auto

calibration is exported, Output data cannot be specified.
