If the stored files reach to the maximum block count, measurement will automatically stop. When unchecked, a ring buffer of the size obtained by multiplying the block size by the maximum number of blocks is configured and continuous measurement is performed. -9-

“Append mode”
When measurement starts, a newly-created file is saved in the order after the existing files. If the numbers of the whole data files are over the maximum block count setting, a data file with a small number file (includes data files which were saved on the former measurement) is deleted even in the append mode.

“Change file by elapsed time”
Create a new data file when the specified time has been elapsed, even if the size of the former data file has not reached the specified Block size. However, if the data file under recording has not recorded any data, the new data file will not be created.

Max speed when remote monitoring

Max speed which analyzer can measure is depending on the connection to the PC. Refer to the following standard speed.

USB (USB3.0/3.1) : Max. 5Mbps
LAN : Max. 2Mbps1
Wi-Fi : Max. 1Mbps1

*1 The max. measurement speed becomes lower by the network load. However, when measuring 10Mbps with 2K byte data for every 0.02 seconds, the actual communication speed is about 1Mbps, and you can measure this communication without any data loss.

■It will cause the data loss if the actual communication speed is more than the max. speed. And PC will stop the action until the analyzer process all measured data to the PC.
■When the measured data is lacked, will displayed on the window.
■Key emulation mode will decrease the max. speed.

*Chapter 5 Environment Setting

• For multiple analyzers, make sure not to specify the same folder as location of saving the remote monitor data.

When opening this setting window from the remote setting list window, you can rename the setting name. Adds the remote setting for the number of analysers you wish to connect. (It does not allow you to rename the setting name when the window opened from the data window.)

Open the Data Window

To open the selected data window for remote setting, select the specific remote setting from the list of the remote setting list window (multiple selections possible), and click   on the toolbar (or, click the “open data window” of the file menu.).

Delete the Remote Setting

You can delete unnecessary remote setting. At first, select the remote setting you wish to delete from the list of the remote setting list window (multiple selections possible) and click ❌ on the toolbar (or, click “delete setting” of the remote menu). Then, the deletion confirmation appears and the selected setting will be deleted by clicking the “OK” button. However, if the remote setting which is using in the data window, you cannot delete it. If you end the application with all the remote settings deleted, a new setting (default setting) will be automatically added when you start the application next.

Operate Setting When Starting

You can select operation when LE-PC800X starts from the following:
“The remote setting list (this window) will be opened”
The remote setting list window will be opened. If the window has already opened, it will be displayed in front.

“The data window will be opened. (Order in the setting list)”
The data window will be opened in the order according to the remote setting list. If all data windows for the remote setting have already opened, the operation is the same with “The remote setting list (this window) will be opened.”

Start-up Options

When starting the LE-PC800X, following options can be used. -r “<Setting name>”
Start measuring automatically by the specified Connection setting after starting LE-PC800X. To start measuring by the multiple settings, ex. specify as follows.

-r “Remote01” -r “Remote02” When starting the measurement by using AUTO measurement function, the warning message of loosing the existing data file will not be displayed. Also, when starting the measurement by using APPEND mode and the selected configuration file automatically, the existing data file will be erased without the warning message when starting LE-PC800X.

-q It saves measured data to the data file immediately, and try to keep the format of data file as normal. (LINEEYE does not warrant the condition is normal.) Also, it will allow to read the measured file which is in the process of saving data, and able to copy the data file. However, the data file which is in the process of saving data can not be opened by the other window of LE-PC800X. It is possible that this function will deteriorate the ability of PC or storage of saving data file. Therefore, LINEEYE does not recommend using this function.

Chapter 12 Specification

1 Available by adding SB-R2TS1 for LE-8500X/XR and LE-8600X/XR.
2 See “Max speed when remote monitoring” on page 14 for the communication speed of the measurement target that can record the measurement data without fail on the remote monitor. The LE-PC800X (light version) included in the CD that comes with the analyzer automatically terminates the remote monitor in 10 minutes, so long-term continuous measurement cannot be used.
*3 Use with Windows® 7 is not supported.
