Conguring Input Channels
Measuring rotational speed
This section describes how to measure the pulses output by a rotary encoder, tachometer, or
similar device.
The instrument counts the number of pulses per second and calculates the rotational speed.
This section describes how to congure settings on the individual settings screen when measuring
rotational speed.
You can use the settings list screen to congure the settings. (See p. 69.)

Select [Pulse], and choose a channel from [P1] to [P8].
Measurement will not be performed for channels whose check boxes are not selected.
2
Select the waveform display color.
× (OFF), 24 colors
Select [×] if you wish to measure the channel but not to display its waveform or numerical values on the
screen.
3
Set the input type to [RevSpd].
4
Under [Range], select the count base time.
The measurable range of the selected range will be displayed.
r/s

Counts the number of pulses per second and calculates the rotational speed. (Number
of revolutions per second)
r/min Counts the number of pulses per module of time specied with the [Smoothing]
setting and calculates the rotational speed.
(Number of revolutions per minute)
5
Under [Pulse/rev], enter the number of pulses per revolution output by the encoder or
tachometer.
