External memory	Used to store measurement data. CF cards, USB memory, etc. are called external memory (⇔ internal memory).
Automatic scale switching by location	This is a dot printing type recorder with two measurement ranges. The measurement locations are divided into two groups, and the measurement range is switched periodically for each group. For example, on a 6-point recorder, points 1 to 3 are used for 0 to 600°C, and points 4 to 6 are used for 0 to 1200°C.
Range by location	The hybrid recorder KH and KL series are dot printing type-printing specifications, and the input type and measurement range can be designate for each channel.

reference operating condition	Conditions for satisfying accuracy ratings stated in the catalog, etc.
recording intervals	Set the interval at which data is recorded.
Graphic recorder	Paperless recorder. Measurement data is display on the LCD screen and stored in memory.
Group Function	A function that handles multiple channel together. You can switch display for each group and configure group settings.
Alarm function	When the value of the measurement data exceeds the alarm setting value, an alarm judgment (a contact) is made.
Alarm deadband	A function that prevents alarms from being issued and reset frequently when the measured value is fluctuating repeatedly.
Alarm delay	Even if the measured value exceeds the alarm setting value, the alarm is not generated immediately, but is generated after the alarm delay time has elapsed.
high-speed dot printing type	option makes dot printing type interval of the dot printing type recorder approximately 2.5 seconds. The specifications dot printing type interval is approximately 5 seconds.

S row

Time axis pen offset compensation (POC)	(=Phase synchronization correction)
Automatic switching double scale	A single-pen recorder with two ranges that automatically switches ranges when pointer exceeds higher limit or lower limit.
Automatic range switching recording	A function that automatically switches to another range and records when a measured value exceeds the measurement range.
sampling rate	(= measurement period)
shunt resistor	resistance that is connected between the (+) and (-) input terminal when using DC current of 4 to 20 mA for the input signal. Some models have a built-in shunt resistor.
high-order communication	Used for data acquisition, parameter setting and operation with connected devices and PCs.
scaling Function	A function that converts the transmission signal (4 to 20 mA, 1 to 5 V) input from a sensor or device into an actual quantity (pressure, flow rate, humidity, etc.) and display, rather than display it as is.
Normal operating conditions	Conditions that guarantee the operation of the recorder.
Accuracy ratings	The conversion accuracy when taking in an input signal and converting it into a number.
contact	A relay or switch that has the function of conducting or cutting off current. Depending on the operation of contact they are classified as A contact, B contact, and C contact.
Measurement Interval (dot printing type type)	The time required to measure data while switching the input signal of a dot printing type recorder. For example, if the measurement cycle is 5 seconds/6 points, it will take 5 seconds to measure 6 points.
Measurement Interval (pen format)	The time required to digitize and capture an input signal (analog quantity) in a graphic recorder or hybrid recorder.
Measurement range	Select the range of the input signal to be measured.

Ta row

Dot Printing Type	A method of printing on chart paper. Recording is performed using an ink pad and a dot printing type mechanism.
dot printing type spacing	On an dot printing type recorder, the time interval between dot printing type readings of one channel and dot printing type the next channel.
Communication interface	It connects to PCs, PLCs, and other devices to send and receive data and set recorder parameter.
resistance load	Buzzers, lamps, etc. that are connections to relay contact.
characteristic scale	specifications for scale plate of analog recorder. scale is not evenly spaced.
Digital Recording	A function of a hybrid recorder. It prints measured values, time, and other figures on chart paper.
scale divisions	scale are inscribed at equal intervals (⇔ characteristic scale).
Trigger	A trigger to start or stop recording or saving data.

Na row

Internal memory	Storage space provided on the device itself (⇔external memory).
Input Signal	Thermocouples, resistance thermometer, DC voltage, DC current, etc. With graphic recorder and hybrid recorders (with some exceptions), the input signal can be changed in the device settings.

Ha row

Burnout	A function to determine if a sensor has been disconnection using thermocouple input or resistance thermometer input. When the input disconnection, the measured value goes over higher limit or lower limit limit.
Hybrid Recorder	A type of recorder that can record measurement data in either analog or digital format.
Panel cut dimensions	The dimensions of the mounting holes when mounting the recorder on a panel.
Historical trend display	It display already recorded measurement data as a trend like analog recorder.
display resolution	The minimum display value when display data digitally.
Non-standard scale	scale other than the standard scale.
Standard scale	One of specifications for analog indicating recorders. scale plate is the standard specifications.
Partial compression/expansion recording	Ability to zoom in and out on a specific area for recording.
Blind recorder	The recorder itself does not have display such as chart or LCD screen. Data can be viewed on any PC on the same network without the need for special software.
universal power supply	Recorder power supply specifications. Supports 100 to 240V.
universal input	The measurement range can be set to thermocouple, resistance thermometer, DC voltage, or DC current.
balancing time	One of specifications for analog indicating recorder. The time required for the scale to move from the left side to the right side.
Dual scale	This device does not switch input sensitivity and only has a double scale on scale plate. Single division scale: scale plate has single scale, and only scale numbers are doubled. Double division scale: Both scale line and scale numbers are doubled.
Parallel scale	The recording area can be divided into multiple areas and scale can be assigned to each area for recording.
Paperless Recorder	A type of recorder that can store measurement data in memory along with a graphic display rather than printing it on paper.
Pen Type	A method of printing data from a recorder. Data is recorded continuously on chart paper with a pen.

Ma row

mechanical relay	A relay that has a mechanical contact and functions to conduct or cut off electricity.
Moss Relay	A type of semiconductor relay that is compatible with both DC and AC.

Ra row

real time Trend display	The measurement data is display as a trend like analog recorder.

Alphanumeric

1digit	Digit refers to the minimum number of digits in the input range. For example, if the input range is selected as 0.0 to 600.0°C, ±1 digit is ±0.1°C.
Double scale	One of scale plate specifications for analog recorders and hybrid recorders. One scale plate has two ranges.
Triple scale	One of scale plate specifications for analog recorders and hybrid recorders. scale plate 1 has three types of scale.
NO contact	One of contact operation methods. Normally, contact are open and no current flows, but when an alarm occurs, contact close current flows.
