The PC Link system is the software dedicated to a PC for retrieving data outputted from a SANWA digital Multi Meter (PC series). The operation screen displays graphs in real time to allow you to check changes in measured values (voltage, current. etc.) with ease. Measured data can be saved on a CSV file, so it is easily processed on Excel. The ease of use in a variety of applications from data retrieval, processing and analysis holds this system in high esteem, resulting in its extensive acceptance for business, education and personal use.

Flexible support for diversified environments

A digital Multi Meter set at a certain measuring point concurrently monitors and measures various factors such as voltage, current and frequency on up to eight channels (with the use of PC Link Plus). RS232C, USB or LAN cable can be used to allow flexible connection between a digital Multi Meter and a PC (PC20 alone). Concurrent measurements can be made even in an environment with various interfaces mixed. ?PC connecting cable is available as an option.

Major features : MAX 8 (eight) CHANNELS !!

* Automatically detects a port connected with a digital Multi Meter (except the case of LAN connection).
* The retrieval interval can be set from 1 second.
* Allows viewing the previous screen while retrieving data.
* Allows automatic retrieval by schedule setting.
* Allows data saving in a CSV format with the date and time appended.
* The Y axis of a graph can be divided into 10.
* Allows automatic e-mail transmission attached with measurement data (Outlook Express Ver.6 and higher)
* Allows data import to Excel in up to 65,536 lines.

* Display maximum and minimum value with time and date
* Past data can be seen by graph during data acquisition
* Cursor position can be indicated by graph cursor
* Move graph to any position by using find function (search letter function)

Print

* Relative value from reference
* Change of the decimal point position and unit
* Line alike by 10 polygonal lines

Communication
* Watch remote DMM data via LAN
* Send data by E-mail
* Send data attached mail automatically in every selected interval
* Send data attached alarm mail when limit become active
* Send data request command mail to get data from remote site

Signal Output
*Output limit result to the RS-232C port

Accessory
* Expand measuring function by optional accessories. (Temperature probe, Clamp current probe)

DMM Interface
* Support RS-232C
* Support USB (Recognize as RS-232C on Windows)
* Support LAN (By LAN adapter for PC20)

Others
* Copy graph to clipboard
* Direct data transfer to MS-Excel
* Import data from PC520M memory.

More functions with PC Link Plus
* Max 8 channels data acquisition
* Real time 8 channels graph display with scaled grid
* Direct 8 channels data transfer to Excel
* 8 channels cursor position can be indicated by graph cursor
* Watch 8 channels remote data through LAN
* Edit multiple PC520M single channel files to multi channel file format.

Considerations
* For multi channel data acquisition, multiple 232C interface are necessary.
* When measuring temperature by T-300PC, you cannot read temperature value from DMM, but you can read temperature by computer.
* When clamp current probe measurement, DMM display mV or V, but your computer display A (ampere).
* 9999uF ranges of PC500, 510, 520M, 5000 cannot be used by PC Link Plus. 9999uF ranges of PC500, 510, 520M, 5000 cannot be used by PC Link Plus.
* For E-mail function, constantly connected to the Internet and E-mail environment is necessary.
