Graphtec GL260 Data Logger: Versatile High-Speed Data Acquisition

The Graphtec GL260 is a cutting-edge data logger designed for fast, flexible, and reliable data acquisition across a wide range of applications. With its all-channel isolation, high-speed sampling, and wireless connectivity, the GL260 empowers users to efficiently collect and analyze data in various scenarios, from environmental monitoring to industrial testing.

Key Features

• Universal Input with All Channel Isolation: The GL260 offers exceptional versatility with its universal input and all-channel isolation. Each input channel can be configured independently for voltage, temperature, humidity, or other measurement parameters, allowing users to tailor the data logger to their specific needs. This feature ensures accurate and interference-free measurements, even in challenging environments.
• High-Speed Sampling: When speed is crucial, the GL260 delivers. By optimizing the number of active channels, the data logger can achieve sampling intervals as fast as 10 milliseconds. This high-speed sampling capability enables users to capture rapid signal changes with unparalleled precision, making the GL260 ideal for applications that require detailed data acquisition.
• Wireless Connectivity: The GL260 offers the convenience of wireless data logging with its optional WLAN unit. This feature allows users to perform measurements and monitor data remotely via a PC, eliminating the need for physical connections. Wireless connectivity simplifies data logging in hard-to-reach or hazardous environments, providing greater flexibility and safety for users.
• Ample Recording Capacity: With its built-in 8GB flash memory and support for external SD cards, the GL260 provides ample storage space for long-term data logging. In relay capture mode, the data logger can continuously save data to multiple files without any loss until capturing is stopped, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted recording experience.

Enhanced User Experience

Graphtec has introduced several enhancements to elevate the GL260 user experience, making data logging more efficient and intuitive:

• G-REMOTE: **This new service expands remote access and control capabilities, allowing users to manage the GL260 from anywhere, anytime. With G-REMOTE, users can easily configure settings, start and stop recording, and monitor data in real-time, streamlining the data logging process. The optional B-568 Wi-Fi module is required.
• Alarm History: The GL260 now features an alarm history function, enabling users to review past alarm events for better system monitoring. This feature helps users identify and analyze critical incidents, improving overall system performance and reliability.
• Improved Inter-Channel Calculation: The data logger boasts advanced math functions for deriving valuable insights from captured data. With improved inter-channel calculation, users can easily perform complex analyses and uncover meaningful relationships between different measurement parameters.
• Memory Loop Function: During extended logging sessions, the GL260's memory loop function automatically deletes the oldest files to maintain memory capacity. This feature ensures that the data logger can continuously record data without running out of storage space, minimizing downtime and data loss.

** G-Remote is not currently available in Australia.

Optional Extras

The following items are optional extras and can be purchased separately if required.

• Graphtec B-573 battery.
• Graphtec B-568 Wi-Fi module.
• Graphtec B-513 Logic Input/Output cable.
• Graphtec B-530 Humidity probe.
• GL260 carry case.
• See expansion modules below.

Universal and Isolated Channel Inputs

With an isolated input system, the Graphtec GL260 ensures that cross channel interference is minimised.

The Graphtec GL260 data logger can record inputs ranging from voltage, thermocouples, 4-20mA process signal*, humidity, pulse and logic signals. *External 250 ohm resistor required.

Fast 10ms Recording

Voltage measurements can be recorded at a fast 10ms rate for one channel. Ten Thermocouple channels can be recorded at a rate of 100ms.

Integrated SD memory card support for reliable and long term data storage or data transfer

The Graphtec GL260 data logger supports one SD memory card slot for data storage or transfer. The SDHC type SD memory card is supported up to 32GB.

Data file format types

The recorded measurement data can be stored in GBD(Graphtec binary data) or CSV file format. Binary data format is always more robust and smaller in memory size than the CSV format. CSV data format has a great advantage because is can be directly used with Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice or other software programs that support this format.

Colour LCD display, 4.3"

With a nice 4.3-inch colour LCD display, setting up and monitoring with the GL260 data logger is pleasure! The GL260's primary functions can be configured using the built-in keypad and LCD screen. Easy one touch buttons for common tasks such as display mode, setup and start/stop recording eliminate the need for complicated menus.
