Basic Functions of the GX/GP The basic functions of the GX/GP includes measurement, recording, display, storage, and data utilization. This section provides an overview of each function. Measurement The GX/GP can measure signals from thermocouples, RTD sensor input, DC voltage, On/Off (voltage-free contact, level), and DC current (mA) input.
Page 16
Basic Functions of the GX/GP Display Data Display data can be likened to recording to chart paper on conventional pen recorders. Using the data sampled at the scan interval, the GX/GP records the maximum and minimum sampling data values within each recording interval (interval determined by the trend interval [/div]).
Basic Functions of the GX/GP Display Measured data acquired in the internal memory can be displayed on the screen as trend waveforms, numeric values, bar graphs, and the like. In addition, in accordance with the application or the situation at the actual site, measured data can be displayed on a custom display (/CG option) that the user designs using DXA170 DAQStudio.
Page 18
Basic Functions of the GX/GP Trend Display of Event Data The GX/GP shows event data according to the trend interval [/div] that is determined by the recording interval setting. The relationship between the recording interval and trend interval [/div] is shown below. Recording Interval and Trend Interval Recording interval 100ms 200ms...
Basic Functions of the GX/GP Saving Data files that are divided at a specific time interval (saving interval) and held in the internal memory are automatically saved to an SD memory card (when auto save is set to On). Data files can also be exported to USB flash memory.
Basic Functions of the GX/GP Data Utilization Measurement data files can be loaded into the standard software (Universal Viewer) to display trend waveforms and values. Moreover, data values at the cursor position can be read, statistics (maximum, minimum, P-P, average, rms) can be calculated, and so forth. The loaded data can be converted into Excel or text format to be analyzed with other software applications or used in other ways.
Chapter 1 Configuring the GX/GP What Do You Want to Configure? 1. Measurement Source You can assign DC voltages, thermocouples, RTDs, and on/off signals based on contacts and voltages to channels to take measurements. The measurement section is modular, so it can be expanded as necessary. Input signals are sampled at the scan interval and converted to measured values through A/D conversion.
