1-3. Overview
Wideband, multichannel recording for long durations continues
to increase in importance for measurements in the fields of space
exploration, aircraft development, power generation and railways.
Moreover, as the scales of the subjects measured increase, the need
has arisen for standalone data recorders that have the ability to back
up irreplaceable measurement data and that can be operated easily.
The WX-7000 series of wideband data recorders fulfills these needs.
These systems use RDX cartridges and SDHC cards as recording
media, and they can record 16-bit/16-channel or 24-bit/8-channel
data in frequency bands up to DC 80 kHz on RDX cartridges.
Systems with up to 128 channels can be provided using
16-channel expansion units. Furthermore, by synchronizing two
recording units, up to 256 channels of measurements can be
recorded simultaneously.
The quantization bit depth can be set to either 16-bit or 24-bit,
which allows measurements with high dynamic ranges.

1-7. TAFFmat format
1-7-1. Type of files
The WX-7000 makes a binary-format data file and ASCII-format
header file each time recording stops or pauses.
Data file: Contains data converted from analog to digital (binary for-
mat with a “dat” file extension)
Header file: Contains recording conditions and other information
(text format with an “hdr” file extension)
o In addition, when voice memos are recorded, their files with “wav”
extensions are also saved.
1-7-2. File name
The file name is common to the data file and header file. An ID
number is added to the end of the specified file name. When you
specify a new file name, the ID number starts from 1. After recording
is stopped or paused, the ID number is automatically incremented
each time the recording restarts. If a data file with the same name
or same ID number already exists when recording to the media, the
next ID number is used.
To specify a file name, choose FILE and RECORDING FILE, and then
specify the file name in FILE. For the file name, use up to 5 half-width
alphanumeric characters.
The system attaches a 3-digit ID number (starting from 001) to these
5 characters to make a total of 8 characters. If the designated charac-
ter is 4 or less, the portion between the characters and the 3 digits
will be filled with “0”, and the number of characters in the file name
will become 8 in total.

1-7-4. Data file
16-bit data converted from analog to digital is recorded as 2-byte
integer values from –32768 to +32767 while 24-bit converted data
is recorded as 4-byte integer values from –8388608 to +8388607.
Negative numbers are shown using two’s-complement notation.
The byte order is from the lowest to the highest (Intel format).
The data order is from the first sampling channel to the second sam-
pling channel and so on until the last sampling channel. This order is
called the INTERLACED format, and the format name is recorded in
STORAGE_MODE in the header file.
The structure of a data file is as follows. In this document, a collec-
tion of data as shown in the example is called a “scan”. A data file is
made of repeated scans.

1-7-5. Converting data to physical quantities
16-bit data converted from analog to digital is recorded as integer
values from –32768 to +32767 and the value would be ±25000
when the input is ±100% in the input range settings. 24-bit
converted data is recorded as integer values from –8388608 to
+8388607 and the value would be ±6400000 when the input is
±100% in the input range settings.
The input value is obtained from the following formula:
Input value = (A/D conversion value of the data file) × SLOPE +
Y_OFFSET
o See “Explanations of header file” on page 11 for information
about SLOPE and Y_OFFSET.

3. Connections
Even if a power outage occurs while a WX-7000 is recording, data
except for that recorded just before the outage will be retained in
most cases.
This is because the unit regularly conducts file closing procedures
during recording, so even if a power outage occurs while recording
data, all data from the start of recording until the last file closing pro-
cedure for the outage will have been saved.
However, since file management information is also recorded along
with the measurement data to the recording media, regular file
closing procedures alone cannot protect all data depending on the
timing in some cases.
For complete protection against power outages, use an uninterrupt-
ible power supply (UPS) for the external power source. Have the UPS
send a power outage contact signal to the WX-7000 so that it will
conduct recording completion procedures.
Power the WX-7000 through its AC adaptor from a power output
from the UPS.
Connect the UPS power outage contact signal output to the
WX-7000 UPS SIGNAL IN.
After confirming that the connection cables are securely connected
between all units, turn on the power for the UPS and then the
WX-7000.
For details about this unit's UPS contact input connector, see page
27.
For details about the UPS contact signal output connector, please
check with the manufacturer of the UPS as there are differences
among models and manufacturers.
Operation after power outage
When a power outage signal is input during measurement record-
ing, recording will stop and the unit will become idle.

3-4. TEDS
A Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) is a standard format defined in IEEE 1451.4 for recording information specific to a measurement sen-
sor that is stored within the sensor itself. By connecting a TEDS sensor with a TEDS-compatible WX-7000, sensor calibration is made unnecessary,
reducing the time required for measurement preparations.
o If transducer information is not compliant with the TEDS IEEE standard, correct information cannot be loaded and displayed.
o This system is compliant with TEDS Version 1.0.
