Paperless recorders handle many channels
Yokogawa's MV1000 and MV2000 are all-in-one portable recorders with integrated display, recording and communications functions.
Yokogawa Electric has released the MV1000 and MV2000, two new paperless portable recorders that feature a greatly increased number of input channels and more memory than earlier models The MV1000 and MV2000 are all-in-one portable recorders with integrated display, recording and communications functions
They can continuously record on-site changes in temperature, voltage, current, flow, pressure and other parameters.
They weigh 10% less than the company's earlier models, are easier to operate, have more channels and larger memory and are suitable for a broad range of applications.
There is still a strong demand for chart recorders that can print data on paper.
However, paperless recorders that can output data to a personal computer via the internet and store data on CompactFlash cards and other types of media are becoming widely used.
Users of recorders have a need for greater performance and more advanced functions, and also seek to improve the efficiency of development and production.
They require recorders with many channels that can handle numerous measurement items in a wide range of applications.
Furthermore, the demand for recorders with a large recording capacity for uninterrupted recording over extended periods is also increasing.
This need is particularly strong in the area of temperature recording.
To meet these needs, Yokogawa has increased the number of input channels and added more memory to the MV1000 and MV2000 paperless portable recorders.
The number of input channels on the new recorders is almost twice that of previous models.
The MV1000 has 24 channels and the MV2000 has 48 channels.
In addition, when used with an external unit such as Yokogawa's Daqmaster data acquisition unit, the number of channels can be extended up to 348.
The MV1000 and MV2000 can thus be used for a wide range of applications.
While maintaining high reliability, the MV1000 and MV2000 now feature 200Mbyte of memory, more than any other portable recorder and 170 times as much as Yokogawa's previous model.
Data can be stored for approximately 70 days at one-second intervals with a 12-channel model.
This enables long-term continuous recording and is a significant improvement in recording efficiency.
It is possible to easily enter settings and quickly get started without an instruction manual by following the guidance messages on the MV1000 and MV2000 displays.
In addition, measured data can be stored in text format on removable storage media for further processing and data backup on a personal computer, using standard off the shelf software.
This makes it easy to create graphs and reports, thereby enhancing the efficiency of development work.
A large colour TFT-LCD with a wide viewing angle and high resolution is used for the data display.
The display size is 139.7mm for the MV 1000 and 264.16 mm for the MV2000.
Major target markets include R and D laboratories in industries and fields such as electricity, electronics, home appliances, automobiles, semiconductors and alternative energy as well as universities and government research organisations.
Typical applications include data acquisition, display and management of temperature, voltage, current, flow and pressure.
