CF-4700A/CF-4700 Frequently Asked Questions

Question number FAQ-0305

I want to evaluate about 30 types of products using a shape comparator. Is it possible to specify the judgment line from an external source (PLC) and change the judgment line?

can

By sending commands via RS-232C communication, it is possible to read judgment files stored on an SD card or USB memory.

The judgment file will be created in a format that can be read manually.
(It is the same format as the text saving of screen data.)

Command: CSL file name. The file name is the full path name.

Specify the judgment file for the SD card or USB memory, read it out, and register it as shape data.

For SD cards, the drive name is Z,
for USB memory, the drive name is F.

SD cardCSLZ:¥level001.txt
USB flash driveCSLF:¥level001.txt

The full path name is in half-width English characters. (The "¥" symbol is written in full-width here for display purposes.)

Creation of the data file for the judgment line.

Set the measurement conditions on the CF-4700 device and save the analyzed data in text format (.txt).

If the measurement conditions of the main unit differ from those recorded in the file, it cannot be read.

I will change the Y-axis values in this file to judgment values. (Excel is convenient for this.)

I will save the modified files to an SD card or USB memory.
