GigaLogS - SD Card Data Logger
Description
GigaLogS is a high-performance stand alone data logger which stores data onto a PC compatible SD memory card. GigaLogS can record data from 16 analogue, digital or pulse counter inputs. Channel count can be increased using eDAM-8000 expansion units. Memory capacity is determined by the size of the SD card installed, and can be up to 8GByte in size. Full remote control possible with GSM Modem. Supplied with the GigaTerm configuration utility and GigaData data analysis package.

Inputs
Storing data from analogue or digital inputs Gigalog S has 16 single-ended inputs. Couples of inputs can be used as differential inputs. Each input can be configured as analogue, thermocouple, digital, or counter. Gigalog samples these inputs regularly and stores them on the disk in a file.
More Inputs You may add more inputs to the GigaLog S data logger using eDAM-8000 Remote Acquisition modules. Use the RS2 port of the GigaLog S board to create a RS485 network. The GigaLog S is the master of the network. You may connect up to 9 slaves to GigaLog S. Other GigaLog S board can also be connected as slave modules. GigaLog S handles up to 100 inputs, a0 to a15 are on the board, a16 to a99 are remote. You may configure for all inputs the expression to calculate the engineering value from the raw value before storing it to the memory card
Storing incoming data from RS232 All data coming in from one of the two serial RS232 interface can be stored on the disk in a file. A data frame from the RS232 is any consecutive data until there is a gap of at least 0.5 seconds. GigaLog can be configured to add a time stamp (yyyy:mm:dd hh:mm:ss) in front and/or at the end of a data frame.
Remote Control GigaLog S can be completely controlled by a modem: Verify state, change configuration, disk handling, upload logged data. Each input has a min and a max threshold. When the input violates a threshold, an alarm occurs. An alarm may toggle a relay, write a message into a disk file, call a centre using a phone, or send an SMS, using a GSM modem. You may define a command macro, that calls a centre, or sends an SMS each hour, day, or once a week. Transfer data to an Internet Server GigaLog S can place its data directly on an Internet server by FTP using a special modem.
Alarms Each input has a min and a max threshold. When the input violates a threshold, an alarm occurs. An alarm may toggle a relay, write a message into a disk file, call a centre using a phone, or send an SMS, using a GSM modem. You may define a command macro, that calls a centre, or sends an SMS each hour, day, or once a week. Construction All I/O signals and Power are attached via screw terminals. The GigaLog has a standard 9-way D-type RS232 port. A 16 x 2 line LCD displays the state of the unit. For incoming RS232 data, the number of bytes received in last frame and total number of bytes in the file is displayed. When sampling analogue data, the display shows the raw input values, and the total number of bytes in the file. A box mounted toggle switch starts/stops the logger, and a red LED shows CF write activity GigaLog S completely programmable in C To customise the board, you may write your own firmware in C, and download it into GigaLog. Supplied with the board: C compiler, library for the board, firmware source, downloader.
Software
The GigaLog is supplied with 2 applications; GigaTerm - a terminal program that can be used to configure the logger GigaData - a data download and data display program
GigaData displays the recorded data in a chart display. All 8 channels can be plotted, and each channel can be given a name with a different identifying colour or trace style. The program has zoom and magnify functions and report print-out capability.
