Chapter 3 Configuring and Starting Data Collection and Recording
3.3.7 Setting the Data Recording Method
GA10 saves the data collected at the collection interval to data files at a specific record
interval. The instantaneous values of data are recorded. The collected data at each record
interval is saved to files without any data processing.
The figure shows an example of how data is recorded when the collection interval is 1
second, the record interval for instantaneous values is 5 seconds, and recording is started
at 0:00:00. In instantaneous-value recording, the collected data at 0:00:00, 0:00:05, and
0:00:10 are saved as record data. The first collected data is called “recording start point.”

Click the Start Recording button to start data recording.
Note that the actual recording of data to data files starts when the recording start conditions
are met. Therefore, GA10 may enter the recording standby state when the Start Recording
button is clicked.
The following figure shows an example of how GA10 operates when an interval (everyday,
every week, every month) and start time are specified as recording start conditions.
