Abstract

PURPOSE:To record analogously the magnitude of each analog signal in terms of dot by a specified color without generating a mixed color, by providing a means for managing the recording position of each channel on a recording paper so that monochromatic recording is executed in each recording position. CONSTITUTION:An analog signal applied to input terminals 11-1n is sent out selectively by a multiplexer 2, converted to a digital signal, and stored temporarily in the first memory 5. A signal for driving a head scanner 11 is sent out by a scanning circuit 12, also a digital signal related to a position of a recording head 9 is sent out, and this digital signal is stored temporarily in the second memory 13. Subsequently, the data stored temporarily in the first memory 5 and the second memory 13 are read out successively, and in case when the data of both of them coincide, the magnitude of a selected analog signal is recorded analogously in terms of dot by a specified color corresponding to each channel, on a recording paper 6 by the recording head 9.

The CPU 17 sequentially reads the data corresponding to the analog signal temporarily stored in the first memory 5 and the position data of the recording head 9 temporarily stored in the second memory 13 according to the movement of the recording head 9. If both data match, the recording head 9 sends a control signal to cause the recording head 9 to record dots of the magnitude of the analog signal on the recording paper 6 in a specific color corresponding to the selected input terminals 13 to 1n. Send to. In addition, when sending out these control signals, corrections are made so as not to cause deviations in the recording position due to the array position of each color on the recording head 9, and if the recording positions of multiple channels overlap, each recording position always performs monochromatic recording. The color to be recorded is selected, that is, the channel to be recorded is selected so that this is performed. In such a selection, for example, priority may be given so that the youngest channels are always recorded, or channels may be switched sequentially if duplication continues.
