5-8. Synchronization function
For details about master and slave unit connections,
refer to “Synchronization function” in the LX-1000
Instructions for Use.
See “8-3-5. SYNC SETTINGS” on page31 for informa-
tion about master and slave device settings.
5-8-1. Synchronized recording settings
If you set SAMPLING FREQ., AD BITS and DEVICE (record-
ing destination) for the master unit, they will also be set
for slave units automatically. These settings cannot be
changed on the slave units.
The number of recording channels can be set sepa-
rately for the master and slave units. An error will occur
if recording is conducted at a transmission rate higher
than the slave units can record.
Confirm that the numbers of recording channels on the
slave units are suitable before starting recording.
oSetting triggers on the slave units is not possible.
oThe following amount of time is necessary to start
synchronized recording from a stopped state.
Sampling frequency Starting delay
96kHz – 12kHz About 2 seconds
6kHz About 3 seconds
3kHz About 4 seconds
1.5kHz About 5 seconds
oLevel triggers and external triggers become effective
ten seconds after the unit becomes record ready.
oIf recording cannot be continued with the master
unit because, for example, it does not have enough
recording media capacity, recording will stop at that
moment.
If recording cannot be continued with a slave unit
because, for example, it does not have enough
recording media capacity, recording will stop only
for that unit. Other units will continue recording, but
pausing will stop recording.
5. Basic operation

13
5-8-2. Synchronized playback settings
After selecting files to play on the slave units, select the
file to play on the master unit.
If you select the file to play on the master unit first,
search by ID for the files to play on the slave units.
oIt is not possible to search the slave units using meth-
ods other than ID search. Use the master unit for
other search methods.
5. Basic operation
5-8-3. VR-24 sync
Preparation
1 Use a synchronization cable to connect the
SYNC OUT connector of the LX-1000 to the
VR-24/WX SYNC connector of the VR-24.
The VR-24 will operate as the slave unit.
2 Turn the VR-24 on.
3 Set the VR-24 Synchronization type to “WX
sync”.
4 Turn the LX-1000 on.
5 Use the LX-1000 Sync settings to set “MODE”
to “MASTER” and “SYNC NUMBER” to “2”. Then,
conduct“CHECK CONNECT.”
If there are no connection problems, the
“Syncronization status” will be “OK”.
6 Execute “ADJUST TIME” to set the time used by
the VR-24 to that used by the LX-1000.
The error is ±1 second.

6-4. Calibration
Set the value used to convert sensor output to physical
quantities.
6-4-1. Equivalent input calibration
In the physical quantity conversion fields, set the rated
output and rated capacity indicated in the sensor test
report (page26).
6-4-2. TEDS calibration
TEDS data is not read automatically when the power is
turned on or when the TEDS sensor is changed.
TEDS data must be manually updated by pressing the
Update button (page25).
6-4-3. Zero balancing
Zero balance can be adjusted for channels with strain
amplifiers that have the amplifier mode set to ST.
1 Press the Zero Bal. (F3) button on the Home
Screen.
2 Turn the VALUE dial to change the selec-
tion position, and press the ENTER button to
change channel selection for zero balancing.
3 Press the Execute (F3) button to conduct zero
balancing.

6. Recording
6-5. Setting triggers
In addition to manually starting and stopping recording,
you can also set the system to start and stop recording
using triggers and intervals. Make these settings on the
TRIGGER screen (page32).
The trigger recording operations are explained below.
ATTENTION
When using triggers and intervals to start recording
automatically, put the system into a record ready state.
The system will not detect triggers if just in a stopped
state.
6-5-1. Trigger recording

oLevel trigger
oExternal trigger
oTimeout

Recording time Post-trigger

oLevel trigger
oExternal trigger
oRecording time
For trigger recording, you can set a combination of
recording starting conditions (level trigger, external
trigger or timeout) and recording stopping conditions
(level trigger, external trigger or recording time).
Recording starting conditions
Level trigger (LEVEL)
Use a level change for the set channel as a trigger.
External trigger (EXTERNAL)
Recording starts when the input through the external
trigger signal input (TRIG IN) connector becomes the L
level (0.4V or less).
Timeout (TIMEOUT)
If the conditions set to start recording are not met
within the set time, recording will be forced to start
automatically.
Pre-trigger (PRE TRG)
By default, the system saves data from the time between
when a recording starting condition occurs and when a
recording stopping condition occurs. When a pre-trigger
interval is set, data is recorded before a recording starting
condition occurs, but only after the system is made record
ready.
oDuring this interval, audio memos and CAN data will
not be recorded.
Recording stopping conditions
Level trigger (LEVEL)
Use a level change for the set channel as a trigger.
External trigger (EXTERNAL)
Recording stops when the input through the external
trigger signal input (TRIG IN) connector becomes the H
level (open or 2V or more).
Recording time (REC TIME)
Recording continues only for the set amount of time.
When set to 0, it will not stop at the recording time.
Post-trigger (POST TRG)
Even after recording stop conditions are met, recording
will continue for the set amount of time.
oWhen recording is stopped manually, however, post-
trigger recording will not occur.
Number of repetitions (REPETITIONS)
Set the number of repetitions.
If the number of repetitions is 2 or more, the system
will become record ready after recording stops the first
time. When the recording starting condition is realized,
recording will start again. This will repeat for the number
of repetitions. Then, recording will stop.
When set to 0, recording and pausing will repeat until
the recording media is full, the file name suffix would
exceed three digits or recording is stopped manually.
oWhen set to 0, if recording is repeated until the recording
media becomes full, the recorded data for the last record-
ing might not be as long as the recording time setting.
ATTENTION
Triggers cannot be monitored for two seconds after
becoming record ready, or after recording starting or
stopping conditions occur (10 seconds with synchro-
nized recording).
During this time, nothing will happen even if trigger
conditions occur.

recording will start after the originally set recording
time and interval time have elapsed.
