Amplification device, control method of amplification device, and control program
When a plurality of amplification devices each including a display unit are used in combination, deterioration in visibility of displayed information is prevented. An amplifier unit includes a connection mode specifying unit that detects another amplifier unit including another display unit which is disposed to form one display area along with the display unit and a display control unit that displays information in the display area formed by a plurality of display units.
1. An amplification device having a function of amplifying a detection signal of a sensor and including a display unit that displays information on the sensor, the amplification device comprising:
a processor configured to detect one or more amplification devices including a display unit that is disposed to form one display area along with the display unit; and
the processor configured to display information in the display area formed by a plurality of display units, wherein the processor displays a part of the information on the display unit of the amplification device and displays another part of the information on the display unit of another amplification device.
2. The amplification device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor displays a part of the information on the display unit of the amplification device using display data which is received from another amplification device.
3. The amplification device according to claim 1 , wherein the information includes a character string which is arranged in an arrangement direction different from an arrangement direction of characters on the display unit of the amplification device and the display unit of another amplification device.
4. The amplification device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor does not display the information when the number of amplification devices forming the display area is less than a predetermined lower limit value.
5. The amplification device according to claim 1 , wherein the display unit of the amplification device and the display unit of another amplification device are dot matrix type display units.
6. A control method of an amplification device having a function of amplifying a detection signal of a sensor and including a display unit that displays information on the sensor, the control method comprising:
a device detecting step of detecting one or more other amplification devices including a display unit that is disposed to form one display area along with the display unit; and
a display control step of displaying information in the display area formed by a plurality of display units, wherein in the display control step, a part of the information is displayed on the display unit of the amplification device and another part of the information is displayed on the display unit of another amplification device.
7. A control program causing a computer to function as the amplification device according to claim 1 .
