Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a recorder capable of recording scale data as well as analog data.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Recording paper used in conventional recorders is provided with standard scales in advance. Recording paper on which standard scales are printed in this way has the following drawbacks when used with recent recording needles that can print digital data as well as analog data.

(1) Depending on what is being recorded, the recorded data may be difficult to read or may not function as a scale at all.

12) The printed standard scale and the printed digital data may overlap, making the digital data difficult to read.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and aims to provide a recorder in which scale data such as graduation lines can be printed in an easy-to-read state without interfering with reading the recorded data.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention compares the time at which scale data is desired to be printed with the current recording time, moves the position on the recording paper corresponding to the time at which the scale data is desired to be printed to the recording unit position, and The print scale data stored in the print scale data is printed at the recording section position.

[Embodiments of the invention]

10 is an input section for analog data to be recorded. Analog data from this input section 10 is supplied to a recording control section 12 via an analog gateway 11. This recording control section 12 is connected to a recording section 13 having a thermal head that contacts, for example, recording paper and can record digital data as well as analog data.

In addition, this press signal is supplied to the scale print position calculating section 15 in the four columns 14. The scale printing position calculating section 15 receives the set time signal from the time setting section 16 and compares the current recording time with the set time,
The distance on the recording paper corresponding to the difference is calculated.

The signal from this scale print position calculation section 15 is supplied to a recording paper motor drive section 17 that drives a recording paper drive motor 18 .

9, 20 is a scale data setting section, and this setting section 20
The scale data set in is stored in the print scale data storage section 21.

Further, 22 is a print command section, and a signal from this print command section 22 is supplied to the scale print position calculation section 15 and the analog gate 11. Further, the recording paper motor drive section 17 is connected to the recording control section 12,
A recording preparation completion signal is supplied to the recording control section 12 when the movement of the recording paper is completed according to a signal from the scale printing position calculation section 15. In addition, this recording control section 12
reads the scale data from the printing scale data storage section 21 and records it in the recording section 13, and then outputs a scale data printing end signal to the scale printing position calculation section 15. Further, after returning the recording paper position to the current recording time, the recording paper motor drive unit 17 supplies a return end signal to the analog gate 11. Furthermore, the recording control section 12 is connected to the printing scale data storage section 21 for reading scale data.

Next, the operation of one embodiment configured as described above will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

FIG. 2 shows a normal recording state, where 30 is a recording paper, 31, 31 is analog data, and 33.degree. 33 is a time display printed at scheduled intervals. Now, any time of this displayed analog data 31, III, for example 1
The case where scale data is printed at the 4:40 position will be explained.

First, the time setting section 16 and the scale data setting section 2
0 to 14:40 at the time you want to print scale data
and enter the necessary data on the scale printout. Thereafter, a print command signal is supplied from the print command section 22 to the scale print position calculation section 15 and the analog gate 11 .

Scale printing position calculation unit 15 that receives this printing command signal
calculates the distance on the recording paper corresponding to the difference between the current time 15:30 and the set time 14:40 from the clock 14. This calculation result is supplied to the recording paper drive motor 18flC via the recording paper motor drive section 12. This recording paper drive motor 18 returns the recording paper 30 in the direction of the arrow.
14: The position on the recording paper corresponding to 4G is recorded in the recording section IS.
O Move to the recording position. When this movement is completed, the recording paper motor drive section 17 supplies a movement completion signal to the recording control section 12. Upon receiving this movement completion signal, the control section 12 supplies the scale data read from the print scale data storage section 21 to the recording section 13 to record it.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, when printing of the scale data is completed, the recording control section 12 supplies a printing completion signal to the scale printing position calculation section 15. The scale printing position calculating section 15 that receives this printing completion signal calculates the
A signal for returning the recording position of 0 to the position of the current time 15:30 is supplied to the recording paper drive motor 18 via the recording paper motor drive section 17. When the recording paper 30 is returned by the recording paper drive motor 18 at the current time of 15:30 (FIG. 4), a return completion signal is supplied from the recording paper motor drive section 11 to the analog gate 11. , After that, although the analog signal of the input section 10 is normally recorded by the recording control section 12 and the recording section 13, in FIGS. 3 and 4, 33 is the channel number, 34 is the scale line, and 35 is the scale. The value 36 is each indication of time.

In this way, the desired scale data can be printed at the desired position by simply manually setting the printing time, setting the data necessary for scale printing, and printing commands from the outside at any position on the blank recording paper 30. Therefore, unnecessary scale data is not printed, and analog data can be read easily and accurately. Furthermore, it is possible to print scale data at a desired time while observing the recording state of analog data, or to print scale data at a desired time when the process conditions of the pond change.

In addition, in this embodiment, the scale data will be printed at a past time, and as shown in FIG. is also possible.

Furthermore, although the analog data recording is interrupted during scale data printing by opening and closing the analog gate 11, the analog data being printed is retained and the recording paper 30 is returned to the current time. It is also possible to write records quickly.

Furthermore, it is possible to print the scale data in a different color from that of the analog data, so that each channel can be printed in a different color.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention is configured in this way, it is possible to print the desired scale data at the desired time, and not only does it not interfere with the reading of recorded data, but also it is possible to print only the scale necessary for reading, which is different from the conventional method. It produces records that are much easier to read compared to the conventional method, and also has the advantage that when recording digital data such as tables, it does not overlap with other data and become difficult to read.
