[Mode]
②. Mode

Select Sampling.

[Clock]
③. Clock

Settings	Description
Internal clock	Sampling is performed at the timing of the internal clock. In this case, also set the clock value.
External clock	Sampling is performed at the timing of the external clock.
Handshake	Sampling is performed using handshake with external equipment.

④. Clock value

This setting takes effect when you select the internal clock as the clock.
Specify the internal clock value in the unit specified in "Clock unit".

Specify the position of the buffer to start the transfer.

Device name	Recognized Memory	OS	Available range
DIO-32DM3-PE	-	All supported OS	0≦ Transfer start position ≦ 536,870,911 *2
PIO-32DM(PCI) DIO-32DM2-PE	The memory less than 4G Byte	All supported OS *1	0≦ Transfer start position ≦ 16,515,071 *2
	The memory more than 4G Byte	Windows10 Version 1607 or earlier	0≦ Transfer start position ≦ 262,143 *2
	The memory more than 4G Byte	Windows10 Version 1703 and later	0≦ Transfer start position ≦ 524,287 *2

⑪. Transfer stop position

Specify the position of the buffer to end the transfer.
Must be set after the transfer start position.

Device name	Recognized Memory	OS	Available range
DIO-32DM3-PE	-	All supported OS	1≦ Transfer stop position ≦ 536,870,912 *2
PIO-32DM(PCI) DIO-32DM2-PE	The memory less than 4G Byte	All supported OS *1	1≦ Transfer stop position ≦ 16,515,072 *2
	The memory more than 4G Byte	Windows10 Version 1607 or earlier	1≦ Transfer stop position ≦ 262,144 *2
	The memory more than 4G Byte	Windows10 Version 1703 and later	1≦ Transfer stop position ≦ 524,288 *2

⑫. Repeat

Input the data in the range specified in "Transfer start position" and "Transfer end position" repeatedly for the specified number of times.

*To enable this setting, you need to select "Transfer completed with specified number" as the stop condition.

Device name	Available range
DIO-32DM3-PE	1≦ Repeat times ≦ (536,870,912(20000000H) ÷ ([Transfer stop position] - [Transfer start position] + 1))
PIO-32DM(PCI) DIO-32DM2-PE	1≦ Repeat times ≦ (16,777,215(FFFFFFH) ÷ ([Transfer stop position] - [Transfer start position] + 1))

[Monitor data]
⑬. Monitor data mode

Select the operation when the data monitoring conditions are met.

Settings	Description
Invalid	Disable data monitoring.
Stop sampling	Stop sampling.
Graph automatic update	Updates the displayed contents of the graph to the data at the time of matching.

⑭. Data pattern direction

Select the direction to compare with the data pattern.

Settings	Description
Horizontal axis / Clock axis	Monitor if the data matches in the clock axis direction.
Vertical axis / Channel axis (in graph display order)	Monitor if the data matches along the channel axis.

⑮. After-trigger display ratio

It is the display ratio before and after the match on the graph when the data monitoring conditions are matched.
Set the entire graph to 100% and specify the display ratio after triggering.

*This setting is effective when "Graph automatic update" is selected in the data monitoring conditions.

⑯. Pattern data radix

Select the radix of the comparison pattern from binary or hexadecimal.

⑰. Compare pattern

Enter the number you want to compare.

⑱. Compare bit number

Enter the number of bits to compare in the comparison pattern.

⑲. Compare channel

Specify the comparison channel for the comparison pattern.
When the data pattern direction is the vertical axis, specify the first channel.

[Auto save]
⑳. Auto save

When enabled, sampling data is automatically saved to a file under the specified conditions.

When collecting data for a long time, the collected data of the memory size set in the sampling memory option is divided and saved at the timing when it is accumulated.
In this case, the file name is automatically created based on the time when the data collection started.

Example) When data collection starts at 2:05:10.000 pm on March 1, 2020, and 10 seconds later, data for the memory size is accumulated and saved, the file name will be "20200301_140510000" based on the start time "2:05:10 pm".
Also, the file name saved again 10 seconds later will be "20200301_140520000".

Even if it is disabled, it can be saved manually, but if the memory reserved by the sampling memory option is used up, the old data will be discarded in sequence and only the latest data can be saved.
If you want to save all the data with long sampling time, please use auto save.

㉑ Path

Set the path to save the file.

㉒ File type

Select the format of the file in which you want to save the sampling data.

Settings	Description
*.csv	Save in CSV format. It can be referenced with Excel or a text editor.
*.cpb	Save in C-LogicDesigner original binary format. Although it is a format dedicated to C-LogicDesigner, it is advantageous in terms of CPU load and file capacity associated with file storage.

㉓ File prefix

Specify the prefix used for the file name when saving the sampling data.

The generated file name will be
"prefix" + "date and time" + "extension (.csv or .cpb)"
