Overview
The LX-100 series instr mentation data recorders can record and reprod ce signals of a maxim m of 48 kHz
sampling freq ency via 8 channels onto PC card media in the case of 16bit AD. Recorded data on the media
is stored as PC files. The maxim m n mber of inp t channels is 32 by sing the selectable types of the 8-
channel inp t cards and the optional channel expansion nit. Yo can choose the recording media from
among the followings: Recording to the internal memory or to a PC card. Also, yo can save the recorded
data as PC files by connecting to a PC. The file format is TEAC's proprietary TAFFmat format. TAFFmat files
can be loaded into commercially available analysis software.
From a PC yo can se the s pplied LX Navi software to set recording conditions s ch as the inp t range or
sampling freq ency. The interface with a PC is hot-pl ggable and compatible with IEEE 1394. So, after the
set p, yo can disconnect the LX while the power is still on, and start or stop recording by sing control
b ttons on the main nit. Yo can choose the 100BASE-TX Ethernet interface as an alternative. Yo can also

About TAFFmat
1-5
About TAFFmat
TAFFmat (an acronym for Teac Data Acq isition File Format) is a file format composed of the following: 1)
A data file containing A/D (analog to digital) converted data that is in binary format with the extension dat.
2) A header file containing information, s ch as recording conditions, that is in text format with the
extension hdr.
This doc ment ses the term ID to refer to a collection of data collected from the start of recording on the LX
series ntil the recording is stopped or pa sed. For each ID, one data file and one header file is recorded. A
voice memo is recorded as a WAV file with the extension wav.
The above files share a common file name, to which is appended an ID n mber. When a new file name is
specified, this ID n mber becomes 1. Each time recording starts, this n mber advances by 1.
A/D-converted data is recorded as 2-byte integers between -32768 and +32767 in the case of 16 bits A/D
and also recorded as 4-byte integers between –8388608 and +8388607 in the case of 24 bits A/D. Negative
n mbers are expressed as complements of 2. The byte order is from the lower bytes to the higher bytes. The
seq ence of data is as follows: first sampling channel order, second sampling channel order, ....., last
sampling channel order.
In LX-100 series, ±100% of the inp t range is eq ivalent to ±25000 of 16 bits A/D or ±6400000 of 24
bits A/D
This doc ment ses the term “scan” to refer to a collection of data res lting from one sampling. A data file
consists of scan repetitions.
Example: The data of 1 scan when the sampling freq ency is 6 kHz:

Notes on Usage
Use of an UPS is Recommended
We recommend that yo se an UPS (Uninterr ptible Power S pply) whenever yo se an AC adapter. This
can protect important data d ring a power stoppage. If the power is t rned off while a media is in a drive,
data recorded on that media might become nreadable.
Use an optional battery nit to back p the operation on power stoppages.
Use Specified Media Only
Use PC cards checked by TEAC in advance (contact s for information). Other media might be nable to
record or reprod ce correctly.

■ T rn off the power after yo eject the media
Remove the PC card before powering off the LX. If the power is t rned off d ring writing, data recorded on
the media might become nreadable. Also, eject the media before moving the LX main nit. F rther, remove
the media before moving the LX main nit. Moving the nit while the media is inserted might res lt in
damage.
■ Remove Media
Insert or eject the media after confirming that “MEDIA READY” is displayed on the nit that is in the STOP
state of the REC mode.
■ Never Remove a Recorded File, Never Rename the File/Folder Name of a Recorded File By a Windows
Operation
Do not remove a recorded file or rename a file/folder name of a recorded file by a Windows operation. If yo
manip late the recorded files on the media by a Windows operation, s ch as partially removing the file, or
renaming the file/folder name, the link between the data file and the header file will be lost or the writing
speed to the media to s pport the specifications cannot be ass red. Also, the data might be nreadable
when s ch media is re-inserted in the LX.
When reprod cing the file recorded on the PC by the main nit of LX, refer to “Notes for reprod cing a
PC-recorded file by the LX main nit” on page 9 in Section 5.

Notes on Usage
1-7
■ Handling PC Card
To discharge static electricity from yo r body, to ch a metallic s rface near yo before handling the nit.
Never to ch the PC card being inserted into the PC card slot while recording and playing back.
■ Ca tions for recording data on a PC Card
 The recognized file system is FAT16 or FAT32. NTFS and FAT12 are not available. (By formatting media
of 16MB or less the file system will normally become FAT12.)
 Before sing a PC Card on LX, format it in FAT16 or FAT32 by Windows PC. A PC Card that is not
formatted cannot be formatted by the LX main nit.
 It might take a long time to recognize or save data when sing a FAT32 formatted PC Card on LX. In
s ch a case, the sit ation might be improved by re-formatting on the LX main nit.
 In yo are sing a PC Card that has been repeatedly sed for saving or removing data, yo might not be
able to record data on the PC Card that is s pposed to have s fficient free space remaining. In s ch a
case, re-format the PC Cards again after backing p the data to another media.
 The maxim m amo nt of free space on a PC Card, which is displayed on LX Navi, etc., is 4GB. “%”
displayed on the nit means the val e is correct.
 The maxim m file size of the PC card available on LX is 2GB in FAT16 or 4GB in FAT32. However, the
act al file size will be red ced, depending on the nit of data.
 When contin ing to record data exceeding the maxim m size, another new file will be made to keep on
recording a tomatically. At this time, the header file or the voice file will be moved onto a new file.
These gro ps (data, header, and voice) of files are recorded separately as above, and can be
reprod ced independently.
 If the recording condition meets either of the followings, the maxim m size of the contin o s recorded
data wo ld be 4GB in total. (It might exceed the val e, altho gh this is not g aranteed)
1. Synchronization recording (master or slave setting)
2. Timer [recording start time, specified recording time, timeo t] recording
3. Trigger [level, external trigger] recording
 If so many files are saved on the PC Card, it might take a long time to get the file table of data
reproduced. In s ch a case, reformat the PC Cards again after backing p the data to another media.
 The maxim m n mber of folder or data files that can be made and operated correctly is 10,000.
 The n mber of files exceeding 10,000 can be recorded, b t not copied or reprod ced.
 When sing a PC Card with a low writing speed, the recording might be stopped since the data writing
speed does not keep p with it. Use the recommended card only.

Recording time
■ Recording to Memory, 8 channels, 16 bits A/D, 64 MB standard memory (when not recording voice
memos）
■ Recording to PC Card, 8 channels, 16 bits A/D, 1 GB PC Card (when not recording voice memos)
* This recording time at a 48 kHz sampling freq ency is the val e when sing a PC Card on which nothing is
recorded after formatting.
■ Media recording time can be calc lated as follows (res lt for approximate times)
Recording Time (seconds)
= (Media Capacity (Bytes) x 0.9) / [(N mber of Analog Inp t Channels + N mber of Tachometer Inp t
Channels) x Sampling Freq ency (Hz) x AD (width) + 8000]
Media Capacity x 0.9: Considering recording overhead of the media and an additional capacity needed for
the header files, m ltiply 0.9 (90%) for the sed capacity for data files.
AD width 2 for 16 bits A/D, 4 for 24 bits A/D
Refer to the tables later for a combination of the Sampling Freq ency vs. the n mber of analog inp t
channels that can be selected in each recording mode.
The n mber of tachometer inp t channels in 16 bits A/D: se "2" in 16 bits mode, "2" for 32 bits/1 channel
mode, or "4" for 32 bits/2 channels mode. In 24 bits A/D: not available in 16 bits mode, "1" for 32 bits/1
channel mode, or "2" for 32 bits/2 channels mode. Tachometer inp t channels are available for LX-120 only.
Use "0" instead of 8000 when the memo voice recording t rns to OFF.
