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. (The input type varies
depending on the module type.)
The GX/GP samples the signals received through the input modules at a specified scan
interval and performs A/D conversion. These values become the measured values of each
channel.

Recording
Data Type
The GX/GP can record two types of measured data: display data and event data.
Data sampled at the scan interval is recorded in the internal memory as measured data for
each specified data type (display data and event data).
