ALL CHANNEL ISOLATED/UNIVERSAL INPUT

 
Channel to Channel isolation is the highlight of the Graphtec data loggers.  Along with its compact footprint, GL240 contains an isolated input system which ensures that signals are not corrupted by inputs from other channels.
 

All channel Isolated/Universal input, Standalone Multi-Channel

Its compact size contains an isolated input system which ensures that signals are not corrupted by inputs to other channels, thus eliminating wiring concerns. The GL240s multi-type inputs are suitable for voltage, temperature, humidity, pulse, and logic signals, enabling combined measurements of different phenomena like temperature/humidity and voltage.

*Figures are approximate. File size of captured data is 2GB in GBD or CSV file format on this chart.

Sampling interval is limited by the number of channels in use.(10ms:1ch, 50ms:5ch, 100ms:10ch)

 

Ring capture function

 The most recent data is saved when the memory is configured in ring memory mode. (Number of capturing data is 1000 to 2000000 points)

Relay capture function

 Data is continuously saved to multiple files up to 2GB without losing any data until capturing is stopped when the memory is configured in the relay mode.

Hot-swapping the SD memory card

 SD card can be replaced during data capturing when the sampling interval is 100ms or slower.

Displays the data by a bar chart (in firmware ver.1.10 or later)


 The integrated data that is measured by the digital sensors can be displayed by a bar chart in the GL240 series.
