Unlike ink pen and thermal pen type recorders, most thermal recorders that perform thermal recording using a recording head do not have a pointer, and the data currently being recorded is located below the recording head. It is not possible to simultaneously view the data values inside, and what can be observed is past data going back a certain amount of time. In other words, such a recording device had a major drawback in that it could not be used as an indicator.

The present invention includes a recording head having a multi-digit heating element, and energizes each heating element corresponding to a plurality of input signals to color a position on a thermal recording paper corresponding to the magnitude of the input signal with heat. In a multi-channel thermal recorder that conveys a recorded portion of the thermal recording medium in which the input signal is recorded to a visible position, the input signal corresponds to the recording position of the input signal recorded in the thermal recording medium at the same time as recording. The present invention is a multi-channel thermal recorder equipped with a display that displays a light-emitting band whose end portion changes in the same direction as the direction in which the recording position changes as the input signal changes.

コーダ本体１もコンパクトにできる。 In the multi-channel thermal recorder according to one embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, the two input signals are each sampled at a predetermined period, AD converted, and become a signal specifying the digit position of the recording head 2. This signal is sent to a recording head drive circuit and two display drive circuits. The recording head drive circuit energizes the heating element of the designated digit based on this signal, the thermal recording paper 3 develops color, and the input signal is recorded. At the same time, the two display drive circuits energize the light-emitting elements of the displays 4 and 5 from the digit position specified by the signal to the minimum digit position using the input signals to display the input signal value in a light-emitting band. let In the illustrated case, the display 4 displays the input signal of record S1 , and the display 5 displays the input signal of record S2 . In this way, in the recorder of this embodiment, the indicators 4 and 5 are placed above the recording paper 3, and the scales of the indicators are set in the same left-right direction as the scales of the recording paper, so that the light-emitting band of the indicators is Since the input signal values being recorded on paper are displayed on the same scale, they are easy to read at a glance. Moreover, the recorder main body 1 can also be made compact.

示の方向が揃い、見易いという利点がある。 Next, FIG. 2 shows another embodiment. In the multi-channel thermal recorder of this embodiment, the feeding direction of the recording paper 3 is from right to left in the figure as shown by an arrow, and the indicators 4 and 5 are arranged on the right side of the recording paper 3 in the figure. The scale is set in the same vertical direction as the scale on the recording paper. Similar to the one in Figure 1, the records and instructions are displayed on the same scale, making them easy to read, and since the directions of other models of instruments are generally up and down, the thermal recorder of this example is used together with other instruments. When mounted on a panel, the instructions are aligned in the same direction and have the advantage of being easy to read.

According to the present invention, even in a multi-channel thermal recorder in which the current recording is difficult to visually observe, the input signal is on the same scale as the recording on the recording paper by the recording head and in the same direction as the direction of change of the recording position. Since the display is performed using a luminescent band whose edges change, the current input signal can be recorded and observed immediately under the same conditions as the recording above, and it has an indicating function that was lacking in thermal recorders equipped with conventional recording heads. A multi-channel thermal recorder can be provided.
