(*5)It is available on the Logic/Pulse (GL7-L/P) module.

(*6)Method of detection
Volt./Temp. module:
The alarm is detected every 5 seconds when the sampling interval is longer than 5 seconds and reported. The alarm is detected in the sampling interval when the sampling interval is shorter than 5 seconds and reported.
Other modules:
The alarm is detected every 1 ms when the sampling interval is shorter than 1ms. The alarm is detected in the sampling interval when the sampling interval is set between 2 ms to 5 seconds and reported. The alarm is detected every 5 seconds when the sampling interval is longer than 5 seconds and reported.(*7)It is available when the captured data is saved to the built-in RAM. The pre-trigger function may not available in combination with the trigger settings.

(*8)The result of real time calculation is displayed in the digital display mode. Available sampling speed is the 10 samples/s (100 ms interval).

(*9)When the captured data destination is set to the built-in-RAM, the captured data is not maintained after a power failure is occurred. When destination is set to the built-in Flash or the SD memory card, it may have a problem by a power failure if it is being accessed to write data. If the memory device is not damaged, the closed data file is maintained. The file is closed every minute while data is being captured. This function is not available when the FFT mode or the Voltage Output module (GL7-DCO) is used.

(*10)The USB drive mode is started by setting of the switch on the main module. It can be also started when the power is turned on while pressing the START/STOP key on the display module.

– When the RING mode or external pulse synchronization sampling is selected for recording, the backup function is not available.
– When there are meany number of active channels, the sampling time is fast, or the backup interval is long, it may take time to closing the data file after recording stops because the size of the data to be backed up becomes large.
– Available sampling speed is the 10 ms or slower when using the CSV format.
– When backup is enabled and data file format is specified with CSV format, SD memory card exchange (hot-swapping) and RELAY recording are not available.(*19)Both slow and high speed sampling can only be recorded in GBD format.

MAIN FEATURES

Modules allow wide range of measurements
Suitable for a variety of measurements due to flexible combinations

Measurements for different applications can be added to the module. It is also possible to mix measurements by adding different types of modules.

Up to 10 input/output modules can be attached to one main unit

Input module can be expanded to accommodate a wide variety of measurement.

Each of the 10 units can include a different input/output module

Up to 10 input/output modules of the same kind can be attached to one main unit

If different types of modules are attached, the effective sampling speed of the system is to up to the fastest sampling speed among the installed modules. When the maximum sampling speed of the module is slower than the maximum sampling speed of the fastest amplifier, signal will be sampled with maximum sampling speed of the module. The same data is saved with the system sampling speed until new data is captured on the slower units.* The number of modules that can be attached is limited by the type of module. Up to 10 modules (maximum 112ch with 7 GL7-L/P module, max 100ch with GL7-V or GL7-M module).
For Logic/Pulse module (GL7-L/P):
Maximum 7 units allowed using logic option (112ch).
Maximum 2 units allowed using pulse option (32ch).
(The mode for logic or pulse can be set for each unit.)
For Strain module (GL7-DCB):
Maximum 8 units allowed with additional two other amplifier units. (Number of channels is limited to 112ch.)* For the logic/pulse module, the number of channels can be limited by the selected sampling speed when the module is attached together with other amplifier modules.
1μs sampling interval: up to 8 channels
2μs sampling interval: up to 16 channels (If two modules are attached, channel #1 to #8 in each unit can be used.)
When pulse mode is used, the maximum sampling speed is the 100μs. The data will be updated every 100μs.

Maintains the maximum sampling speed
even when the number of input/output modules are increased

Maintains the maximum sampling speed even when the number of input modules for voltage or voltage/temperature are increased.

* In the high-speed voltage module and Logic/Pulse module, the maximum sampling speed varies by selected data storage device.

Up to 1120 channels can be measuring using the PC platform

Up to 10 units of the GL7000 can be connected to 1PC through LAN or USB and controlled using the software.

Up to 5 units of the GL7000 can be fully synchronized using the sync. cable

The start/stop, trigger and sampling can be synchronized in the GL7000 when they are connected by a sync. cable. The master and slave units are automatically identified.
*The sync. cable is optional (B-559).

High-definition display module with touch panel enables measurement in various configuration

The detachable display module allows both stand-alone and embedded system configurations

Measurement settings and signal measurement can both be done without a PC by attaching the display module. The display module can be moved to different locations for remote operation by connecting it to the main module with a LAN cable*, it also can be embedded into the system. The module can stile be operated by the PC even when the display module is connected.

Large easy-to-read 5.7-inch (VGA 640 x 480) high-definition LCD monitor

Utilizes a bright clear TFT color LCD monitor.
Makes it easy to read data in waveform or digital form and to check measurement parameter settings.

Y-T dısplay

Dıgıtal dısplay

XY dısplay

FFT dısplay

The display unit incorporates a touch panel system to provide convenient on-site operation

Function Menu ( It s required firmware version 2.00 or later.)

Touch the icon, move to the
next setting menu screen.

The display waveform is able to
expand or shrink.

Supports multiple destinations to save the captured data according to the conditions of the measurement

Supports multiple types of storage

Built-in RAM	RAM is built into each modules to allow saving of up to 2 million samples for each channel. Increasing the number of channels does not decrease the data capture duration.
Built-in Flash memory	4GB of Flash memory is built into the main module. Captured data can be saved directly to the flash memory when sampling speed is less than 1kS/s (1ms). Non-volatile memory (saved data is retained even if the power is turned off).
SD memory card	SD card slot (supports SDHC, up to 32GB) is standard on the main module. Captured data can be saved directly on the SD card when sampling speed is slower than 1kS/s (1ms). Supports hot-swap where SD memory card can be replaced during recording without any data loss.
SSD module (128GB)	Allows multiple recording of large amount of data to be saved when optional SSD module is used. It has a high vibration resistance and the captured data can be saved directly to the SSD when sampling is not faster than 1MS/s (1μs).

Capacity of memory device may be smaller than above depending on time of production.
The file for recording data is limited up to 4GB on firmware version 2.0 or later, 2GB on firmware version 1.6 or before.
There is function that saving data to multiple files without losing data until capturing data is stopped.
The hot-swap is possible when the sampling is slower than 100ms.
Number of modules are limited. The storage capacity might differ by its production date.
