Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a display setting device for a meter that performs display and settings on a display section provided in a meter.

[Prior Art] Instruments such as recorders have a scaling function and a tag management function, and these display setting information are displayed on a display section, and the displayed settings can now be changed. ing.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, if this display setting information is expressed by a combination of full letters, numbers, etc. 1 For example, if the display setting information is "AFXO13", all digits of the display It is necessary to be able to display alphabets, which requires a multi-segment display element for each digit, and the structure of the drive circuit and controller for this multi-segment display element becomes complex and costs increase. There was a point.

In addition, when setting the above alphabet, and when trying to display a display corresponding to the alphabet on the 7-segment display section, the ASCII corresponding to this alphabet must be set.
Since it is necessary to set and confirm using the I code, use this code table to set all digits including numbers.
In addition, confirmation work had to be carried out, which took time and effort.

Furthermore, in recorders, there is a desire to reduce the space of this display section, which is not the part where direct recording is performed, and it is also desired that setting items can be easily checked and set.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and
In particular, the object is to provide a display setting device for an instrument that can display display setting information including alphabets on a display section with a simple configuration, does not take up space on the display section, and also allows setting items to be easily set and confirmed. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, an instrument display setting device according to the present invention is used in an instrument that displays only one item of setting information for each item on a single display. This is a display setting device for an instrument, and the display has a plurality of 7-segment displays that display only hexadecimal values, and a 7-segment display that displays only hexadecimal values. A cursor display that is provided and displays only one digit, and one display that displays at least an alphabet corresponding to the hexadecimal value of the digit indicated by the cursor display. It is said that

Another invention is a display setting device for a meter used in a meter that displays only one item of setting information for each item on a single display, wherein the display has a number of digits corresponding to the number of digits of the display setting information. , a plurality of 7-segment displays that display only hexadecimal values, and one display that displays at least alphabetical characters to display each item of the display setting information.

[Function] For only one digit of the segment display 7a selected by the cursor key 2, the ASCII value corresponding to the IB base number of this digit is displayed on the segment display 6. Thereafter, by repeating the same operations as described above, six digits can be displayed in sequence, and the settings can be changed thereby.

In addition, the 16-segment display 6 displays the letter W41 after the initial of this item as an item of display setting information, and the 7-segment display 7
If the value of each item is displayed in a, it is easy to confirm the display setting information.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a meter display setting device according to claim 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a display of the device.

The display shown in Figure 2 is one that can display the alphabet.
16-segment display 6, l[l-decimal display (0-F
) A total of 12 7-segment displays 7 with 6 digits in each pair
a, and a total of six cursor displays 7b provided for each digit of the 7-segment display 7a.

The number of digits of the 7-segment display 7a is equal to the number of digits of display setting information used in the meter. Furthermore, the 7-segment display 7a may be integrated with the cursor display 7b.

Further, the up/down keys 1 shown in FIG. 1 are used to change the display of the 1B upper segment indicator 6 and the 7 segment indicator 7a, and the cursor key 2 is used to change the display of the 1B upper segment indicator 6 and the 7 segment indicator 7a. The cursor is provided for selectively displaying the cursor.

These up/down keys 1'E! The outputs of the cursor keys 2 and 2 are input to the code converting means 3, and as described later, the code converting means 3 outputs the ASCII code stored in advance in the memory 4 to the display driving means 5 based on this output. simultaneously displays each digit of the 7-segment display 7a, displays only one digit selected by the cursor key 2 from the segment display 7a on the cursor display 7b, and converts this digit into a hexadecimal number. Only the corresponding ASCII value is displayed on the segment display 6 based on the output of the code conversion means 16.

Therefore, the code conversion means 16 is 1, for example, hexadecimal 11''.
→ ASCII “A”, hex “4F” → ASCII
Convert to "0", 1B base "31" → ASCII "1".

Next, the operation of the above-described configuration will be explained using FIG. 3.

Now, the display setting information that you want to set and display is "AFx013".
”, first use cursor key 2 to select the first “
Start setting from A''.

Here, the 7 segment display section 7a shows this "AFXO13".
It has the same 6 digits as the information digits of ``.

Therefore, in order to set A'', first move the cursor 7b
is brought to the first digit of the 7-segment display 7b. This causes the ASCII value corresponding to 16'a, the first digit of the 7-segment display 7a, to be displayed on the 16-segment display 6. While looking at the segment display 6, operate the up/down key 1 until "A" is displayed. If 'A' is displayed, '41' in 1B base is displayed on the 7-segment display 7a. Therefore, this '41' becomes a set value and is output as display setting information.

Next, as shown in Fig. 3, use the cursor key 2 to move the cursor to the second digit of the 7-segment display 7a, and use the up/down key 1 to search for F. You can set the minutes sequentially, after this,
The entry key (not shown) is used to output the information to the outside as display setting information.

On the other hand, when checking the information displayed on the 7-segment display 7a, the 1B value at the cursor position on the 7-segment display 7a is 16
Alphabets, numbers, etc. can be displayed simultaneously on the segment display 6, and display setting information for all digits can be confirmed by moving the cursor.

Note that a numeric keypad may be used instead of the up/down keys 1 of the above-described embodiment.

Also, instead of the 16 segment display 6 described above, a 5×7
Dot matrix etc. may be used, and multiple segments can be combined into one
Just use one.

Next, a display setting device for a meter according to a second aspect of the present invention will be explained.

In this embodiment as well, the display shown in FIG. 2 is used.

In this embodiment, it is possible to recognize which items each type of display setting information corresponds to. This display setting information includes RENG.
There are E information, 5CALE information, and ALARM information.

The first character of the initial is displayed on the 16-segment display 6 as an item of display setting information. For example, the range (RENGE) item is "R", the scale (SC) is
ALE) "Jth 1f"S", 75-m (ALARM
) item is displayed as A”.

Further, the value of each item is displayed on the 7-segment display 7a.

Therefore, all the display setting information can be checked on one display shown in FIG. 4 by simply changing and displaying the items each time a parameter key (not shown) is pressed.

Moreover, these display setting information can also be set by key operation.

Normally, this large amount of display setting information is not displayed after initial settings, so this display setting information could not be obtained when an instrument malfunctions, etc. However, with the present invention, it is now possible to easily obtain this display setting information. Became.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the instrument display setting device according to the present invention, display setting information including alphabets can be displayed on a display section with a simple configuration, and the space of the display section for displaying display setting information can be saved.
