TDS-530 FAQ

  • Amplifier voltage output is measured in TDS-530 voltage mode. The software uses TDS-7130, but only "1" is displayed when the voltage is 1 V.

    If the TDS-530 is set to Simple Measure, the decimal value and unit are displayed, as in "1.0000V". If Simple Measure is not used, the decimal digits and unit must be manually set.
    Select a format such as #. #### ##. ### ###. ## .

  • Can you obtain the average values of four displacement transducer CDP-50 units?

    This cannot be done on the units themselves, but it is possible to do so by using a junction box JB-4.
    TDS-630 provides arithmetic functions, so you can also view averages, etc.

  • I set parameters such as units, but they are not reflected in the monitor.

    If set to Simple Measure mode. manually entered settings will not be reflected. Cancel Simple Measure mode.

  • How do you set parameters for load cell CLH-1MN?

    Since the rated power is 3000 με at a capacitance 1 MN = 1000 kN, the calibration coefficient is 1000 ÷ 3000 ≒ 0.33333.
    Therefore, by setting the coefficient = 3.3333 E-1, unit = kN, and display digits = ######, entering 1000 kN causes 1000 kN to be displayed.

  • How do you set parameters for displacement transducer CDP-5?

    Since the rated output is 10000 με at a capacity of 5 mm, the calibration efficient is 5 ÷ 10000 = 0.0005.
    Therefore, by setting the coefficient = 5.0000 E-4, unit = mm, display digits = ###.###, entering 5 mm causes 5.000 mm to be displayed.

  • What is the sensor mode when a 300-kN load cell is used to connect a sensor that outputs 5 V?

    Set the DC voltage to 64 V (1/100).

  • How do you set the sensor display for directly reading physical quantities?

    For a sensor that outputs 5 V at 300 kN, by setting calibration coefficient is 300 ÷ 5 = 60, the coefficient = 6.00000 E+1, unit = kN, and display digits = ######, entering 300 kN causes 300 kN to be displayed and physical quantities can be read directly.
    Setting display digits = #####.# displays 300.0 kN.

  • I am performing measurement with a personal computer connecting by LAN. How do you export the data memory?

    From My Network, open the workgroup and look for the icon “Tml”. The folders data_memo and cf_card are located there, and you can read the recorded data.

  • Four points were measured using a 2-gauge common. When a point was added later, the added point was displayed ****I****. What do you do?

    This occurs because the initial value of the added point was not obtained. You can obtain the initial value for the added point alone by setting that channel only to the monitor channel, and using the “initial” function of the monitor value.

  • Even if measurement units are set, με is still displayed on the monitor.

    If set to Simple Measure, manually entered settings will not be reflected.
    Cancel Simple Measure mode.

  • It’s set to Direct, but some channels are in “Small m” measure.

    Since Comet is set, select "Not use".

  • A strain gauge is connected, but the display reads ****I****. What does that mean?

    This is displayed when the initial value is not obtained or when the initial value storage range (±160000) is exceeded.
