Data acquisition unit to measure the selected signal on demand.

Main Features:
Modules allow wide range of measurements and are suitable for a variety of measurements due to flexible combinations.

Measurements for different applications can be added to the module.

    • Voltage module (GL7-V)
    • Voltage/Temp. module (GL7-M)
    • High-speed voltage module (GL7-HSV)
    • High voltage module (GL7-HV)
    • Bridge module (GL7-DCB)
    • Charge module (GL7-CHA)
    • Voltage output module (GL7-DCO)
    • Logic/Pulse module (GL7-L/P)
Measurements for different applications can be added to the module
  • Each of the 10 units can include a different input/output module (*1)
  • Up to 10 input/output modules of the same kind can be attached to one main unit(*1)

(*1)* 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.

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
