DAS60 User’s Manual METROLOGY
The meteorological conditions of your measurement instrument are defined in
the specifications of this notice. Climate and environmental conditions
restrict the specifications of your recorder. SEFRAM checks the
characteristics of each appliance one by one on an automatic bench during its
manufacture. The adjustment and control are guaranteed under conditions of the
ISO9001 certification by facilities in connection with the COFRAC (or
equivalent in the context of ILAC reciprocity). The specified characteristics
are considered stable for a period of 12 months from the first use under
normal conditions of use. We recommend a check after 12 months and max. 24
months of use, then every 12 months after 24 months. For any check of the
characteristics, the following average climate conditions shall be maintained
(23°C+3°C 50(+20)%RH). The recorder should have been working for 0,5 hour
before check. We recommend that you have this control made by our after-sales
service (Service Après-Vente) for the best service and preservation of the
measuring quality of your instrument. When a recorder returns to SEFRAM,
maximum service is provided with internal updating according to the required
adjustments and software updates. In case of shift in the characteristics,
your instrument shall be adjusted to recover its original characteristics.

3.5. CONNECTION TO THE MEASUREMENT NETWORK
3.5.2. Voltage measurement The voltage is measured between the red and black
terminals of the inputs with wires and male security pin plugs (according to
CEI 1010).
3.5.3. Temperature measurement with a thermocouple The voltage resulting from
thermocouple effect must be measured between the red and black terminals of
the relevant input. To provide right measure values, connect the two ends of
the thermocouple cord directly onto the quick fastening socket. Plug the two
pin plugs onto the selected input with respect of the polarity.
Do not use welding male pin plugs: the welding would alter the thermocouple
effect.
3.5.4. Temperature measurement with Pt100/Pt1000
The Pt100 probe must be connected on the « I+ » and « – » terminals. The
voltage from the Pt100 must be measured between the « + » and « -» terminals
with one of the two following mountings: 2 or 3 wires. The 3-wire mountings
make the measurement independent from the resistance of the line.
Wiring:
2 wires
3 wires
3.5.5. .Current measurement
You can make current measurements by shunt between the red and black terminals
of the relevant input.
In this case, select the “current” type among the parameters of the relevant
channel. Connect the measurement wires to the terminals of the shunt.
The results are directly displayed in Amperes or milliamperes according to the
caliber of the selected channel.
23 / 134
DAS60 User’s Manual
3.5.6. Connection of the ground
· If the source of the signal you have to record has low internal impedance,
you shall use twisted wires. In case of high impedance, you shall use shielded
wires.
· When gathering grounds from the various items on the measurement line, it is
good to check that there is no voltage difference between them, in order to
prevent any shortcut. If any doubt, make a measurement with a voltmeter on a
low resistance (i.e. 1k) between the terminals.
3.6. Routine maintenance
Maintenance only consists in cleaning outside the device. Any other operation
requires a qualified personal.
Unplug the device before any intervention.
Never let water flow through the device to prevent any electrical discharge.
Periodically clean the recorder with the following the instructions:
– use water and soap to clean the front and rear boards – never use any
product that contains petrol, benzine or alcohol: they would damage the
screen printings – wipe with a soft lint-free cloth – use some antistatic
product to cleanse the screen.
3.7. Battery
The device is equipped with a lithium-ion battery (Li-ion). It is sent with
charged battery. However, if the device has remained unused for more than one
month, check its loading status and reload it if required.
Attention: Any intervention on the battery requires dismantling of the device
and shall be made by a SEFRAM technician. Only use batteries provided by
SEFRAM.
Security advice: · Never heat up or throw the battery pack into the fire ·
Never shunt parts of the battery: risk of explosion! · Do not bore the battery
· Do not dismantle the battery pack · Do not reverse the polarities of the
battery · This battery pack includes a protective item that shall not be
damaged or removed · Do not store the pack in a place exposed to heat 24 / 134
DAS60 User’s Manual
· Do not damage the protective sheath of the pack · Do not store the device in
a vehicle exposed to sunbeams.
The battery should last 200 charge-discharge cycles or 2 years.
Advice to extend the life of the battery: · Do not discharge too much · Do not
store the batteries too long without using them · Store the battery at around
40% charge · Do not fully charge or discharge the battery before storage.
When the battery is practically discharged, the device closes all open files,
stops correctly the software, then shuts up by itself.
Attention: When the charger is connected to the device, the metal frame is
grounded.
3.8. To recharge the battery inside the device:
Connect the provided external power supply on the jack plug of the device.

signal varying from -7V to +7V select +-10V
3- t : Select the measurement period from 200µs to 10min It’s the time between
2 derivative calculations. Take a period compatible with the signal speed: a
period too short give a derivative with noise.
Example: Channel 1: triangle signal, -5V to + 5V, period 5s Channel 2: use
measurement type V/t with the same signal
V +-10V t 50ms Span 20V/s
The signal (Channel 1) is varying linearly at +4V/s and then at -4V/s The

See chapter File mode to know the restrictions of the recording on file.
8.2. Sampling period
When the frequency of the input signals is too high to record them in Direct
mode, you must record the measurement signals into memory at high sampling
rate: it is the Memory mode. Sampling consists in recording the instant value
of a signal at regular intervals and storing each of these values into a
memory. To get adequate acquisition of a periodic signal, you need to choose a
sampling period compatible with the frequency of the signals present at the
input terminals of the recorder.
A 10-dot per signal period definition is minimal for a satisfactory plot.
8.3. Internal memory, blocks
The available memory in the recorder can be shared into blocks that will be
filled one after the other at each data acquisition.
The acquisition depth is worth N / (B V) N= total memory amount B = number
of blocks V = number of channels to scan
Example: memory 32 Mwords, 16 blocks and 3 channels ‘ON’, we shall have: N =
32 554 432 / (16 3)= 699 050 words/channel.
Any new data acquisition goes automatically into the first free block (in
increasing order). When all blocks are full, any new data acquisition will
shift the previous blocks from the N position into the N-1 position; the 1st
block will be lost. The new data acquisition will take the place of the last
block.
8.4. Trigger position
The data acquisition into a memory block relies on the concept of « circular
buffer »:
60 / 134
DAS60 User’s Manual
· the buffer is filled from the starting condition on
· the buffer is filled as long as the stop condition is not valid; when the
buffer is full, it fills from the initial position of the buffer zone (block)
Thus, the memory block always contains the last N samples.
The operator can select when the samples in buffer will be frozen; to do so, you will select a delay between the trigger start and the beginning of the effective buffering. This delay may be positive or negative: thus, buffered samples may be before, after or on both sides of the start moment.
You can also not inhibit the trigger: you will be able to test the trigger during the pre-trigger phase, in case the trigger should happen before the end of this phase. In case of repetitive signals, the trigger should be inhibited.
Delay to memory input: -50% from the 1st position of buffer
Delay to memory input: +50% from the 1st position of buffer
8.5. Double Trigger mode
In this mode, you will use a start trigger and a stop trigger. Measurements
between these two triggers shall be registered.
Data acquisition will stop automatically: – when the stop condition is valid,
or – when the memory block is full.
An information window will sum up the general configuration of data acquisition:
–
channels and functions between channels validated for data acquisition
–
number of points per channel (as a function of the number of blocks)
–
total data acquisition time (as a function of the acquisition speed)
– position of the trigger (as a function of pre-trigger phase)

10.2. Restrictions
Real time data acquisitions to a file are limited by the transfer rate between
the inputs and the saving means of the internal memory or USB sticks. It is
advisable no to create too big files, because reading them may be very long.
It takes ca. 3 minutes to read a 200MB file. The minimum transfer rate to the
flash disk is 500 Ksamples/s (2µs) To know the number of channels you can
record at a given acquisition period, calculate: · number of channels = 500
000 x acquisition period
example: at 2µs, the number of channels is max. 1.

Non-connected inputs are 0V potential (level 0).
Number of logic channels: from 1 to 16. TTL level: 3.3V (protected up to 24V)
To create a rising edge, you only have to place a connection between the power
input and output of the connector. Similarly, to create a falling edge, you
only have to remove this connection. You can also use an output signal TTL
3.3V.

Plotting and display: These channels are plotted on the right or left side of
the paper according to the selected format. They are displayed at the top or
the bottom of the screen according to the selected position. They are numbered
from the right to the left. Each channel is plotted between two dotted lines
that show their limits. The height of reticules is min. 2mm for the plot.
External clock: You can use the logic channel 16 (see figure “connector”) as a
data acquisition clock for the sampling in memory or file mode. The data
acquisition can then be made up to 500kHz.

14. ETHERNET INTERFACE
14.1. Ethernet Interface
General You can use the recorder remotely via its Ethernet interface with the
TCP-IP protocol. Connect the recorder to your network with a straight-through
cable onto the 10/100 BASE-T (RJ45) connector at the rear of the device.
You can use the recorder on an Ethernet network 10 Mbit/s or 100Mbit/s.
In case of a network with BNC cable, you must use an external hub to convert
the BNC signal into RJ45 signal (use a straight-through cable).
If your PC has no network, you can also use a crossover cable directly between
the PC and the recorder.
Crossover cable
The recorder uses the TCP/IP protocol to dialog with the PC. Thus, you can give it an IP address with a subnet mask. Ask your network administrator an IP address and a corresponding mask, then, when you have set
up the recorder with the are taken into account.
key, turn off and on the device, so that the changes
If you don’t have any network administrator: Check that the TCP/IP driver is correctly installed on your device. Case of a PC under Win XP or other: From Windows Explorer, go to “Work station”, “Configuration panel”, “network connection”, and then go to the properties of the network card. Check that the TCP/IP protocol has been installed, then check the IP address and the subnet mask.
You have to take great care and define an IP address and a subnet mask that are compatible with the ones of the remote computer. The port that the recorder uses is Port #23.
For example, in I mode, you could have:
PC Recorder
IP=192 135.20.00 IP=192.135.20.01
mask = 255.255.255.0 mask = 255.255.255.0

14.5. Programming language
Format of the reception messages
In all the following examples, the space character is pictured as a blank
space.
Exchanges from a controller to the recorder are made as messages made of a
chain of ASCII characters (and possibly of binary bytes) with a message
termination at the end. Syntax of a receipt message
Message unit: if the message includes several message units, they are
separated with a semicolon “;” and possibly preceded and/or followed by one or
several “filling” characters in ASCII code (0 to 32, in decimal format except
10 and 13).
The message termination (TERM) for the Ethernet link is: – LF: Line Feed (10
in decimal)
The message termination may be preceded with one or several “filling”
characters under ASCII code (0 to 32, in decimal format except 10 and 13).
Example of messages made with 3 message units: MESSAGE 1; MESSAGE 2 ; MESSAGE
3 TERM CHANNEL 1; TYPE:VOLTAGE DC;:CALDEC ? TERM
Syntax of a message unit
A message unit (ex. :REAR:SETUP 1) is made of several fields:
– Header: For the command messages (ex. :REAR:SETUP 1) or query messages (ex.
:REAR ?), it is made of a chain of characters (simple header) or several
chains separated by “:” (compound header). A chain includes from 1 to 12
alphanumeric characters or “_” (code ASCII 95 in decimal format). Recommended
chain length: 4 characters. A header chain always starts with an alphabetic
character. It may be preceded by a colon “:” (compound header) or end by a
question mark “?” (query message).
Query messages must be followed by the termination.
– Header separator:

One or several ASCII characters (0 to 32, decimal except 10 and 13).
– One or several pieces of data: (ex. :SPEED 1,MMS), alphanumeric, digital or
compound of various characters or binary bytes.
– Data separator: A comma “,” possibly followed and/or preceded by one or
several “filling” characters in ASCII code (0 to 32, decimal except 10 and
13).
Data: There are several types of data:
– Alphanumeric data: 1 to 12-character words that can be alphabetic (upper
case or lower case), digital or “” (95d) coded under ASCII. Words always
start with an alphabetic character. For example, for a non-digital parameter:
S1M.
– Decimal digital data: Made of a mantissa and possibly of an exponent, and
shown as a chain of ASCII characters starting with a cipher or a sign (+ or
-). They are of NR1 (integer), NR2 (decimal) or NR3 type (with exponent) or of
a combination of these three types.
– Text: Any chain of ASCII 7-bit characters between brackets (“) or
apostrophes (‘). ex. “Channel 1”
Formats of emission messages Exchanges from a recorder to a controller to the
recorder are made as messages made of a chain of ASCII characters (and
possibly of binary bytes) with a message termination at the end. The format of
emission messages is identical to the reception messages, although with a more
rigid structure.
The syntax of an emission message is: Message unit + message termination.
Message unit: If the message includes several message units, they shall be
separated by a semicolon “;”.
Message termination: – LF: Line Feed (10 in decimal format)
Syntax of a message unit:
A message unit (ex. TYP:THE J,COMP) is made of several fields:

DAS60 User’s Manual
4 logs are used: – the service request log (STB) associated with its
validation log. – the standard event log (ESR) associated with its validation
log. The bits #0, 1, 2 and 7 of the STB log are available for use as sum-up
messages specific to the device. Each of these bits can be associated to a
structure of data with a defined pattern, which will manage the events in the
device that may lead to a service request. The user may set up the recorder,
so that it activates the bit #6 of the service request log in case of one or
several specific events. Status of these logs at power-up: The content of the
STB, ESR and alarm logs is systematically reset at power-up (except the bit #7
of the ESR that specifies a power-up).
101 / 134
Service request logs
DAS60 User’s Manual
Status log: It includes the status word of the device. You can read this
status word thanks to the request with the “STB?” instruction. In this case,
the bit #6 is MSS (Master Summary Status) that results from the logic
operations as pictured in the figure below. Indeed, MSS is 1 when at least one
of the other bits is 1 both in the status log and in the validation log.
Composition of the STB log: The bit #6 (value 64) contains the sum-up message
“MSS” (reading with “STB?”).
The service request takes place in the following cases: – one bit of the
status log of service request switches from 0 to 1, while the corresponding
bit in
its validation log is 1, and vice versa – the bit #5 of the validation log of
service request is 1; a standard event happens in the following
conditions: – one bit of the status log of standard events switches from 0 to
1, while the corresponding bit
in its validation log is 1 – one bit of the validation log of standard events
switches from 0 to 1, while the
corresponding bit of its status log is 1 – the bit #0 of the validation log of
service request is 1; a standard event happens in the
following conditions: – a bit of the status log of alarms switches from 0 to
1, while the corresponding bit in its
validation log is 1 – a bit of the validation log of alarms switches from 0 to
1, while the corresponding bit of its
status log is 1.
The bit #5 (ESB: Event Status Bit, value 32) contains the sum-up message of
the status log of standard events (see the detail of these bits in the
description of this log). Its status specifies whether one or several
authorizes events have happened in the status log of standard events since its
latest reset (an event is authorized if the corresponding bit in the
validation log of events is 1).
The bit #4 (MAV: Message AVailable, value 16) contains the sum-up message of
the output queue. Its status specifies whether a message or data from the
device are ready for emission via the interface (ex: answer to a query
instruction).
102 / 134
DAS60 User’s Manual
The bits #7, 3, 2, 1 and 0 are used to receive sum-up messages as defined by
the device. In the case of the recorder, the bit #0 is used while the bits #1,
2, 3, 7 always remain 0. The bit #0 contains the sum-up message of the status
log of alarms (see the detail of these bits in the description of this log).
Its status specifies whether one or several authorized events have happened in
the status log of alarms since its latest reset.
Validation log: The status word is associated to a validation log that makes
it possible to manage the service request by allowing it only for some
specific cases. When a bit is 1, it allows that the status 1 of the bit of
same rank in the status log (STB) leads to the activation of the bit #6 of the
same log. Writing the validation byte is made with the command SRE
Log of standard events
Refer to the overview of the structures of status data. The structure of the
logs of standard events is appended to the bit #5 of the log of service
requests.
Status log: This log contains some specific standard messages, whose meaning is exposed hereafter. You can read its content with the command *ESR? Reading the log erases it.
The bits of the log of status of events are appended to specific events:
- bit #7:
POWER UP (value 128)
It shows that the device has been powered up
- bit #6:
REQUEST FOR USE (value 64)
Not used. Positioned to 0
- bit #5:
INSTRUCTION ERROR (value 32)
This bit shows that an unknown or wrong instruction has been sent to the recorder
- bit #4:
EXECUTION ERROR (value 16)
Not used. Positioned to 0
- bit #3:
DEVICE-LINKED ERROR (value 8)
Not used. Positioned to 0
- bit #2:
REQUEST ERROR (value 4)
This bit shows that the output queue is full and that the data is or may be lost
- bit #1:
CONTROL REQUEST (value 2)
Not used. Positioned to 0
- bit #0:
OPERATION COMPLETED (value 0)
Not used. Positioned to 0
An event is authorized if the corresponding bit in the validation log of events is 1.
Validation log: It manages the status log of standard events: When a bit of
this log is 1, it authorizes that the status 1 of the bit of same rank in the
status log of standard events leads to the switch to 1 of the bit #5 in the
status log of service requests (STB). You can write in this log with the
command *ESE
103 / 134
DAS60 User’s Manual You can read its content with the command “*ESE?”
Log of alarms
Refer to the overview of the structures of status data. The structure of the
log of alarms is appended to the bit #0 of the log of service requests.
Log of status: This log contains some messages specific to the recorder, whose meaning is exposed hereafter. You can read its content with the command SRQ_TYPE? Reading the log erases it.
The bits of the status log of alarms are appended to specific events:
– bit #7:
TRIGGER DATA ACQUISITION MEMORY (value 128)
This bit shows that the trigger condition of a data acquisition into memory has been
achieved.
– bit #6:
END OF DATA ACQUISITION MEMORY (value 64)
This bit shows that a data acquisition into memory has been achieved.
– bit #5:
START OF DATA ACQUISITION MEMORY (value 32)
This bit shows that a data acquisition into memory has been launched.
– bit #4:
Not used (value 16)
– bit #3:
END OF PAPER (value 8)
This bit shows that there is no more paper in the printer.
– bit #2:
END OF WRITING (value 4)
This bit shows that a text writing is achieved: cartridge, text programmed with the
instruction WRIte (see dictionary of programming)…
– bit #1:
END OF PLOTTING (value 2)
This bit shows that a printing is achieved.
– bit #0:
START OF PRINTING (value 1)
This bit shows that a printing has started.
An event is authorized is the corresponding bit in the validation log of events is 1.
Validation log: It manages the status log of alarms: When a bit of this log is
1, it authorizes that the status 1 of the bit of same rank in the status log
of alarms leads to the switch to 1 of the bit #0 of the status log of service
requests (STB). You can write into this log with the command *SRQ_ENABLE
Use of the status data structure
Before use, it is advisable to send the instruction CLS to the recorder to
reset the status logs. The user must first set which events to detect by
authorizing them in the validation log:
– with the instruction “SRQ_ENABLE n” for events in connection with the alarm
logs – with the instruction “ESE n” for events in connection with the logs of
standard events – with the instruction “*SRE n” for events in connection with
the log of service requests.
Example:
104 / 134
DAS60 User’s Manual
Programming a request of service for: a start or an end of the paper print, an instruction error, the
presence of data at the output of the recorder, with the instructions:
SRQ_ENABLE 3
(Bit #0 and 1 to 1)
*ESE 32
(Bit #5 to 1)
*SRE 49
(Bit #0, 4 and 5 to 1)
The controller should regularly read the log of service requests with the instruction “*STB?”.
Switching of bit #6 (MSS) to 1 shows that an authorized event happened.
Reading the status word makes it possible to discover the type of event that happened. In the case of
a standard or specific event, you have to read the associated status log with the instructions
“*ESR?” or “SRQ_TYPE?” to precisely identify the event.
A standard event appeared. The instruction “*ESR?” is sent: Answer by the recorder: 160 (bit #7 and 5 to 1) Two events are shown (power up and instruction error) but the request of service has been caused by the instruction error only (the only authorized event in the validation log).
