The GL860 is a compact, lightweight, multi-channel, and multi-purpose data logger with a 7-inch color display. It can measure voltage, temperature, current, and humidity depending on accessories. There are three types of available terminal units with 20 channels and one with 30 channels. The GL860 can save the high-capacity measurement data directly in the internal memory or in an SD CARD.
For the PC interface, as USB and Ethernet are included as standard (cables not provided), system configuration according to use is possible. As the Ethernet function is equipped with both WEB server and FTP server functions, remote supervision and data transfer are also possible.
By using the expansion terminal base, it is possible to measure up to 200 channels. Requires the purchase of a connector cable, terminals, and terminal bases. All these items are sold separately.

Memory loop function
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.
The capacity of one file and the number of data points are set, and when either is full, the old data is deleted and capturing continues.
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.
Set the capacity or capturing time of one file, and create a new file when either of them is reached.
Capturing will stop when the memory capacity is full.
Enables capturing without missing data
In addition to the existing relay capture function, the oldest file is automatically deleted before memory capacity runs out.
Hot-swapping the SD memory card
SD card can be replaced during data capturing when the sampling interval is 100ms or slower.
*When the wireless LAN is installed, the SD memory card cannot be inserted into the SD CARD slot.

Back up recording data
The data file can be created periodically for purpose of backing up data while recording it, and the file is automatically transferred to another storage device on the unit or FTP server on the network.
Backup interval: 1, 2, 6, 12, 24 hour(s)
Backup file destination: SD memory card or FTP server
Data file format: GBD (binary) or CSV (text)
Available sampling speed is the 100 ms or slower when using the CSV format.
The storage device specified as the recording destination of the measurement data can not be set as the transfer destination of the backup file.
Data file verification
It is a function to check the integrity of the data file when replaying the data file. It compares check-sum generated from the data file and recorded check-sum. When two check-sums do not match, the data file may be corrupted or has been changed by someone. The check-sum code is recorded into the file when data file is created by the GL unit.
Check-sum code is added to normal data recording file and also file created for backup, ring or relay recording. Adding check-sum is available for data files created in GBD format.
