1.1 Functions That Ensure Reliable
Measurements
The GM has four basic functions: measurement, recording, display, and storage. In addition,
datacanbeusedinvariouswayssuchassystemcongurationthroughthestandardsoftware
(HardwareCongurator)anddataledisplay(UniversalViewer).Thissectionprovidesan
overview of each function.
1.1.1 Rich I/O Interface
l Input
The GM can measure the following types of inputs.
The supported input types vary depending on the module. For details on the various input types,
see section 3.1.1, “Measurement.”
InputType
DC voltage (DCV)
Thermocouple (TC)
Resistance temperature detector (RTD)
On/O󰀨(voltage-freecontact,level),pulse
IDC current (mA) (direct input)
IDC current (through an external shunt resistor connection)
Pulse
lMeasurement
TheGMsamplestheinputsignalsataspeciedscanintervalandperformsA/Dconversion.
These values become the measured values of each channel.

l Output(Relayoutput)
TheGMcangeneratealarmsassignedtomeasurementchannels,turntheoutputonando󰀨
according to manual operation, and output relay signals through the event action function (digital
output module, digital input/output module, PID control module).
For details on output, see section 3.1.3, “Output.”
For the combinations of events and actions that can be used to output relay signals through the
event action function, see section 3.2.2, “Event Action Function.”
1.1.2 Actual Values Underlying Accurate Measurements
Themeasuringaccuraciesnotedinthegeneralspecicationshaveamarginoferrorthattakes
intoaccounttheproduct’scomponentsandtheequipmentusedforadjustmentandtesting.
However, the actual values calculated from the accuracy testing data upon shipment of the
instrument from the factory are as follows.

1.1.3 Fail-safeSavingofRecordingData
lData storage
The GM supports long-term recording and multi-channel recording.
Measurement data is constantly saved in internal memory and can be transferred periodically to
an external storage medium (SD card). Moreover, the FTP client function can be used to provide
dataredundancyusingaleserver.Measurementdataissavedwithoutfaileveninasudden
power interruption.
Data can be saved automatically or manually to an external storage medium.
