Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the easy setting and printing of a scale line divided in desired numbers, by synthesizing the scale line divided in desired numbers set by a keyboard along with printing data before storing the same. CONSTITUTION:When the number of divisions of a scale is set corresponding to the input signal applied through a front surface push button switch 22, a side surface key switch 41 and a multiplexer 7, the set value is stored in RAM11. The memory content of RAM11 and the input signal through an A/D converter 8 are operated and synthesized by a control part 9 performing process control corresponding to the program of ROM10 to be stored in RAM12, and a scale line and printing are recorded on recording paper 31 through a thermal printing part 15. By this method, the scale line divided in desired numbers can be easily set, and the scale line and the printing corresponding to the input signal are recorded.

As shown in Japanese Patent No. 32658, analog signal recording and scale line printing using a predetermined scale line pattern were performed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, it is not possible to print a desired number of division lines for each input signal, which causes the following problems.

(1) The scale of the graduation line and the value of the analog input signal do not match.

(2) It is necessary to convert the analog signal value read from the scale line into a value corresponding to the actual value6 (3) Separately,
A dedicated ruler with a printed scale of desired divisions for each input signal is required.

An object of the present invention is to provide a recorder capable of printing a desired number of division lines for each input signal.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose is a control calculation that includes a keyboard section that can set the number of divisions of the recording paper's scale lines for each input signal, and a means for creating printing data for the scale lines according to the number of divisions set by this keyboard section. and a memory for synthesizing and storing the print data of the input signal and the print data of the scale lines created by the control calculation unit, and for each of the input signals, the scale lines of a desired number of divisions are combined with the print data of the scale lines. This has been achieved through a configuration that allows simultaneous printing of input signal print data as well as analog recording.

[Effect]

The print data of the scale line is created in the control calculation section according to the number of divisions of the scale line set in the keyboard section, and the print data of the scale line is combined with the digitized print data of the input signal created by the control calculation section. The scale lines of the desired number of divisions for each input signal can be printed simultaneously with the analog record of the print data of the input signal, so the scale lines of the desired number of divisions can be input in analog for each input signal. It can be printed along with the signal, allowing the scale of the graduation line to match well with the value of the analog input signal.
