DataTypes
The types of data that the DX can record are as follows:
DataType Description
Display data • Waveformdatadisplayedonthetrenddisplay.Themeasureddataisrecordedasaspecified
sampling interval. The sampling interval is specified using the trend interval.
• Theminimumandmaximumvaluesamongthemeasureddatawithinthesamplingintervalare
saved.

• Thedisplaydatacontainsalarmandmessageinformation.
• Dataformat:Binary(Undisclosed)
Event data • Measureddatathatisrecordedataspecifiedsamplinginterval.Therearetwomodes.One
mode starts recording when a trigger event occurs. The other mode records at all times.

Display data can be likened to the conventional recording on the chart sheet and
are useful for long-term recording. Event data is useful when you wish to record the
measured data in detail.
