Effective Analysis and Processing of
Measurement Data
External control by computer
By installing the optional 9593-01, RS-232C INTERFACE
or 9518-01 GP-IB INTERFACE, all of the 3522-50/3532-50
functions other than power on/off can be controlled from a
computer.
Graphing with a spreadsheet program
Measurement data captured by a personal computer can
be displayed graphically by using standard spreadsheet
software. The example below uses the provision for
continuously varying frequency to capture the frequency
Similar to the main unit, you can
also select up to 4 items to monitor.
Data for the selected items will be

be shown on the graph.
filed.
Items such as the sweep frequency
and data output directory can be set.
In addition, the unit can also be set
to output data whenever the return
key is hit.
By utilizing the RS-232C interface, sample freeware that will enable
measurement data to be output onto an Excel spreadsheet while the
measured frequency is being swept is also available.
Please inquire with your local HIOKI distributor.

■ 9442 PRINTER
Example Print-out
The optional 9442 PRINTER allows
measurement results and screen
copies to be printed. This is
convenient for permanent records
of inspections and so forth.
(Connection requires the optional
9593-01 RS-232C INTERFACE,
9446 CONNECTION CABLE, and AC ADAPTER.)
Resulting measurement data can be output not only to a printer, but also
other media such as a PC or sequencer. Using the RS-232C interface
makes transferring the inspection data simple and convenient.
