E-CON Overview

1. E-CON Overview

•From the Main Menu, select E-CON to enter the E-CON Mode.

•The E-CON provides the functions listed below for simple and more efficient data

sampling using the CASIO EA-100.

•1(SETUP) ... Displays a screen for setting up the EA-100.

•2(MEM) ....... Displays a screen for saving EA-100 setup data under a file name.

•3(PRGM) ..... Performs program conversion.

•This function converts EA-100 setup data created by E-CON to a

program.

•It can also be used to convert data to a program that can be run on

a CFX-9850 Series/fx-7400 Series calculator, and to transfer the

data to the calculator.

•4(START) .... Starts data collection.

•6(HELP) ...... Displays E-CON help.

•Pressing the Kkey (Setup Preview) or a cursor key while the E-CON main menu is on

the screen displays a preview dialog box that shows the contents of the setup in the

current setup memory area.

To close the preview dialog box, press i.

About online help

Pressing the 6(HELP) key displays online help about the E-CON Mode.

2. EA-100 Setup

You can use the E-CON Mode to set up the EA-100 for sampling and then start sampling

immediately or save the setup in calculator memory. You can use either of the following two

methods to set up the EA-100.

Setup Wizard: With this method, you set up the EA-100 simply by replying to

questions as they appear.

Advanced Setup: Advanced setup gives you control over a variety of sampling

parameters, which means you can set up the EA-100 for exactly the

type of sampling you want.

kUsing Setup Wizard to Create an EA-100 Setup

With Setup Wizard, you set up the EA-100 simply by replying to questions as they appear.

uSetup Wizard parameters

Setup Wizard lets you make changes to the following three EA-100 basic sampling

parameters using an interactive wizard format.

•Sensor (Select Sensor)

Specify a CASIO or VERNIER*1sensor from a menu of choices.

•Sampling Interval (Sampling Time)

When you have Photogate specified as the sensor type, you can specify the sampling

timing (Gate Status) and sampling time recording method (Record Time) with this

parameter.

•Number of Samples (Number of Samples)

You can specify a value from 1 to 255.

Note the following limitations that apply to a setup made using Setup Wizard.

•You can use Setup Wizard only when the EA-100 sampling channel is CH1 or SONIC.

• The trigger for a Setup Wizard setup is always the wkey.

•Sampling results are always stored in List 1 (for the sampling time) and List 2 (for

sample values).

uTo create an EA-100 setup using Setup Wizard

Before getting started...

•Before starting the procedure below, make sure you first decide if you want to start

sampling immediately using the setup you create with Setup Wizard, or if you want to

store the setup for later sampling.

•See sections 3, 4, and 5 of this manual for information about procedures required to start

sampling and to store a setup. We recommend that you read through the entire procedure

first, referencing the other sections and pages as noted, before actually trying to perform

it.

•To terminate Setup Wizard part way through and cancel the setup, press !i(QUIT).

1. Display the E-CON main menu.

2. Press 1(SETUP). This displays the “Setup EA-100” sub-menu.

3. Press b(Wizard). This displays the Setup Wizard initial screen.

2-2

EA-100 Setup

4. Press any key to start Setup Wizard and display the sensor specification screen.

• Press 1to specify a CASIO sensor, or 2to specify a VERNIER sensor. From the

menu of supported sensors that appears, select the one you want.

5. The screen that appears after you select a sensor in step 4 depends on whether or not

you specified “Photogate” as the sensor.

• If you did not specify “Photogate,” a screen for setting the sampling interval appears after

step 4.

1. Use the number keys to input the sampling interval.

•Inputting a value in the range of 0.52 to 300 enables real-time sampling. Inputting

a value outside this range enables non-real-time sampling.

2. Press w.

•If you specified “Photogate” as the sensor, a screen for setting the sampling timing

appears after step 4.

1. Press either 1(Open) or 2(Close) to specify the sampling timing. Pressing either

key advances to a screen for setting the time recording method.

•See online help (GATE TRIGGER STATUS HELP) for details about the Open and

Close settings.

2. Press 1(Abs) or 2(Rel) to specify the sampling time recording method.

6. After you complete step 5, a screen for setting the number of samples appears on the

display.

•Use the number keys to input the number of samples, and then press w.

7. After you complete step 6, a screen like the one shown below appears on the display.

•Press one of the function keys described below to specify what you want to do with the

setup you have created with the above steps.

•1(YES) ........ Starts sampling using the setup (page 5-1).

•2(NO) .......... Returns to the E-CON main menu (page 1-1).

•3(SAVE) ...... Saves the setup (page 3-1).

•4(PRGM) ..... Converts the setup to a program (page 4-1).

• Pressing 2(NO) in step 7 returns to the E-CON main menu and stores the setup in the

E-CON Mode’s current setup memory area. You can use the following function key

operations from the E-CON main menu to manipulate the contents of the current setup

memory area.

•2(MEM) ....... Saves the current setup memory area setup (page 3-1).

•3(PRGM) ..... Converts the setup in the current setup memory area to a program

(page 4-1).

•4(START) .... Starts sampling using the setup in the current setup memory area

(page 5-1).

• Pressing 1(SETUP) and then c(Advan) displays an Advanced Setup screen for more

detailed control over the parameters that make up the setup in the current setup memory

area. See “Creating an EA-100 Setup Using Advanced Setup” for more information

about changing advanced setup parameters.

kCreating an EA-100 Setup Using Advanced Setup

Advanced Setup provides you with total control over a number of parameters that you can

adjust to create the EA-100 setup that suits your particular needs.

uTo create an EA-100 setup using Advanced Setup

The following procedure describes the general steps for using Advanced Setup. Refer to the

pages as noted for more information.

parameter settings” on page 2-6.

•Custom probe configurations you have stored in memory can be selected using Channel

in step 5, below.

5. Use the Advanced Setup function keys described below to set other parameters.

•b(Channel) .... Displays a screen for setting the following parameters: sampling

channel, sensor, sensor configuration, and storage location for

sample data (page 2-5).

•c(Sample) ..... Displays a screen for setting the following parameters: real-time

settings, sampling interval, number of samples, measurement time

#If the list you specify for the Sample Data

Storage Location (Store Data) in step 2 is

already being used for data storage by

another sensor or for Record Time storage,

data is overwritten according to the priority

sequence shown below.

1. (Highest) SONIC 4. CH1

2. CH3 5. (Lowest) Record Time

3. CH2

Example: Specifying the same list number for

CH3 sample data and SONIC

sample data causes the CH3 data to

be overwritten by the SONIC data.
