Chapter 1 Before Using the Product

1.1 Overview

Data Logging Software GA10 is used to collect data from measuring instruments and

controllers via communication and monitor and record the collected data. Recorded data can

be displayed and printed from the Viewer software.

To use GA10, you need a PC that can connect to target devices. The connection between

the PC and target devices is established through Ethernet or serial communication.

You can use the Simple Settings mode to easily start data collection.

Server and Client

GA10 is a client-server software application. Users perform various server operations from a

client. The server collects, records, and manages data received from connected devices on

the basis of the instructions received from the client.

The client function and server function are installed together in a single PC. You can also

install GA10CL, which is a version that contains only the client function, in other PCs.

Multiple clients can simultaneously access a single server.

Connectivity with Many Devices

GA10 is a software application that consolidates various devices connected over a network

and performs data collection. GA10 can connect to YOKOGAWA recorders and data

loggers. It can also collect data that has been acquired by YOKOGAWA’s data acquisition

software (MXLOGGER, DAQLOGGER, and DAQ32Plus). Moreover, it supports the Modbus

protocol, enabling data collection from YOKOGAWA’s control instruments (temperature

controllers, signal conditioners, and power monitors). GA10 can also collect data from other

manufacturers’ devices that support Modbus communication.
