• With the ZR-RX40's 5.7-inch TFT color liquid crystal display, you can confirm the waveforms of measured data and
each channel's settings at a glance.
• Easy operation is achieved through a straightforward menu structure and key allocation which resembles mobile
phones.
Data Capture
• Data can be directly captured and maintained in the internal or USB memory device.
• Internal memory used for the built-in memory maintains captured data even after the power is turned off.
• The Internal memory can be used with disk images thus multiple data items can be maintained.
