Power and Battery
This line monitor drives by batteries or bus power from a USB port.
Open the battery cover and insert the attached Ni-MH batteries.
Ni-MH batteries are used for time IC and memory IC.

To charge the Ni-MH batteries, use the battery charger for AA sized Ni-MH
batteries.
LINEEYE has confirmed it works with “BQ-CC23” or “BQCC55” of
Panasonic, and “TNHC-34SMC” or “TNHC-34HBC” of Toshiba.
The line monitor is able to charge the Ni-MH batteries by appropriate settings.

Do not insert the alkali batteries to charge.
Warning (when using the line monitor with batteries)
* Do not short the electrode of batteries.
It may cause the generation of heat, ignition, explosion, leaki ng a nd
malfunction.
* Use the batteries and battery charger which LINEEYE recommends.
If not, it may cause the generation of heat, ignition, electric shock and
malfunction.
* Do not leave the batteries near children.
* Do not charge the Alkali batteries.
It may cause leaking, generation of heart, explosion and malfunction.
* Do not touch directly when leaking the batteries.
It may result in serious injury, such as losing eyesight.

Useful Functions
Trigger Function
■
Trigger function is for starting a specic action upon occurrence of a
specic facetor as a trigger.
e.g.: Stop measuring when detecting a “ID=023” CAN frame.
Press [Menu] → [Trigger]
→ Mark on “Trigger0”to
t u r n o n t h e t r i g g e r
function.
Touch “F a c t o r” of the
trigger 0 and select “CAN
data” and then touch “ID
setting” and set ID=023
in binary.
Back to the trigger setting
d i s pl ay by “ Es c” a nd
touch “Act io n” of t he
trigger 0, then select “Stop
Measurement”.

13
e.g.: Output a pulse to the external device when receiving a specic error.
Trigger Factor : Error
Trigger Action : TRGOUT pulse output
Output a low pulse for about 1msec from the external trigger
terminal OUT.
Auto Backup
■
Measurement data is erased when turning off the power of line
monitor. Auto backup function saves data of capture buffer in the USB
ash drive.
Press [Menu] → [Record
c o n t r ol] t o s e t t he a u t o
backup function..
Save in SRAM Save newest 30K byte data into the inner SRAM. Saved data
will be loaded automatically when turning on the power of
line monitor.
Save in le Save all data into the USB f lash drive named as “@
AUTOBU0.DAT) when stopping the measurement. To
load the data into the line monitor, you need to select it (@
AUTOBU0.DAT) from the USB ash drive.
