Cable insulation colors vary by country and manufacturer. Check before connecting.

Connecting voltage cables and thermocouples

1 Press the SET key to display the [Measure] main tab and the [Record] sub tab.

Set the recording conditions as follows:

 

No.	Setting	Condition	Description
1	Start	Manual	Starts recording when the corresponding key is operated.
2	Stop	Manual	Stops recording when the corresponding key is operated.
3	Recording mode	Normal	Fixed.
4	Recording interval	1 s	Measures temperatures every 1 s.
5	Repetitive recording	OFF	Disables the repetitive recording. The instrument will perform a series of measurements only once.
6	Recording time	Continuous	Continues the recording until you press the STOP key.
7	Alarm source	OFF	Disables the alarm function.
8	Synchronous operation	OFF	Does not use synchronous operation.

2 Press the SET key to display the [Channel] main tab and the [Individual] sub tab.

The instrument represents the input channels as Un-m.
n represents the module number; m represents the channel number.

 

Set the input conditions of U1-1 (Channel 1 of Module 1) as follows:

 

No.	Setting	Condition	Description
1	Check box		Performs measurement for channels whose check box is selected.
2	Input type	Thermocouple	Measures temperature using thermocouples.
3	Range	100°C	Measures temperature between -100°C and 100°C.
4	Type	K	Select Type K thermocouple.
5	Burn out	OFF	Disables the thermocouple wire break detection function.
6	RJC	INT	Performs the reference junction compensation in the measurement module.

3 Start measurement.

Press the START key.

The confirmation window [Start measurement?] will appear.

Select [Yes], and then press the ENTER key to start measurement.

 

 

You can use the WAVE key to switch the screen.

 

Wave screen	Wave+Value screen
Value screen	Alarm screen

 

When [X-Y Composite] is on, the [XY+Set] and [XY+Value] screens will also be displayed.

“1.15 X-Y Compositing” in the Instruction Manual.

4 Stop measurement.

Press the STOP key.

The confirmation window [Stop measurement?] will appear.

Choose [Yes], and then press the ENTER key to stop measurement.

5 Save the measured waveform data.

When you press the SAVE key, the file saving window will appear.

Under [Type], select [Waveform]. Under [Format], select [Binary].

Press the ENTER key while [Save] is selected.

 

 

The instrument can load binary-form (LR8450-specific-form) waveform data only.
When you do not name files, the instrument will automatically name them.

6 Load the saved waveform data.
When you press the FILE key, the file list screen will be displayed.

Waveform data is saved in the [HIOKI] > [LR8450] > [DATA] > [yy-MM-dd] folder.
(yy-MM-dd represent the year, month, and date, respectively)

 

Press the ENTER key while files are selected. The data loading window will be displayed.

Select [OK] and then press the ENTER key. The instrument will load the files.

 

 

Each data is saved in the following folders:

• CONFIG: setting data

• DATA: waveform data

• MEASUREMENT: numerical calculation results

• PICTURE: image data
