 Program the GL820 for Real-World Trigger Conditions
The GL820 can adapt to just about any trigger condition you might encounter. Data recording can be stopped or started as
a function of analog signal level, a definable alarm condition, an external event, or specific date and time. Beyond initiat-
ing a data capture cycle, the GL820 can also be programmed to set a digital output to flag an external alarm condition.
And after a trigger condition is executed you can program the GL820 to automatically rearm itself to wait for another
trigger event, or stop entirely. You can even program the GL820 to detect and alarm on a thermocouple burnout condition.
Here’s a summary of the GL820’s trigger and alarm features:

 GL820 “Ring Capture” and External Sampling
The GL820’s ring capture feature provides a continuous recording solution for measurement situations where events need
to be recorded, but their occurrence is separated by long and unpredictable time intervals. Ring capture employs a ping-
pong memory approach to data recording with a definable memory length, which may be adjusted to ensure that a re-
corded event is retained long enough for manual intervention to stop recording and allow data retrieval. External sampling
allows the GL820 to be marginally synchronized to an external trigger signal.
The Ring Capture Concept
Start capturing data
Captured data is saved into File 1.
When the specified number of data points are saved into File 1, the captured data is saved into File 2.
The number of data points to capture is specified in the “Ring Capture Points” menu.
When the specified number of data points are saved into File 2, the captured data is saved into File 3.
File1 is deleted at this point.
When the specified number of data points are saved into File 3,
the captured data is saved into File 4.
File2 is deleted at this point.
When the specified number of data points are saved into File 4,
the captured data is saved into File 5.
File3 is deleted at this point.
Repeat action.

Stop capturing data

File1 File2 File3 File4 File5

When capturing is stopped at the STOP POINT above, File4 and File 5 remain.
These files are consolidated into one file and it is saved. The “ring capture” is complete.

 Flexible Computer Interfaces, and an Optional Battery Pack
The GL820 provides the added benefit of PC connectivity to either a USB or Ethernet port. Both interfaces are standard,
and the USB port doubles as a method to expand the GL-820’s internal 2 GB memory to any size USB flash memory.
When either interface is connected to a PC you can upload measurement protocols to the GL820, monitor acquired data
in real time, or download previously acquired data. The GL820’s Ethernet interface offers the advantage of allowing
the GL820 to function as a Web server, allowing the GL820 to be manipulated from any web browser such as Firefox or
Internet Explorer. Finally, an optional battery pack may be added to the GL820 to allow power-independent data recording
whenever and wherever it’s required.

 GL820 Analog Channel Expansion and Extension Options
Adding more flexibility to where and how the GL820 can be deployed, the analog input screw terminal unit may be
detached from the GL820 and located up to 23 inches away using the optional B-537 Extension Kit. If you need channel
expansion beyond the 20 channels provided by the base GL820, then use one or more B-538 Expansion Kits (plus ONE
B-537 Extension Kit) to expand your channel count in 20-channel increments to a maximum of two-hundred.
The Terminal Unit May be Removed from ...and relocated up to 23 inches away us-

 GL820 Display Quick-look
The GL820’s keyboard and display are key components you’ll use for any typical data recording session. The display is
a full color TFT LCD (thin-film transistor liquid crystal display), the same technology used in modern flat-panel televi-
sions. The display measures 5.7 inches diagonally, and offers 640 × 480 pixels of bright, clear, high contrast resolution.
The GL820’s keyboard allows full access to the instrument’s menu system as viewed through its display. Navigation is
straightforward and intuitive using the keyboard’s navigation and ENTER keys that form the center of the array. Other
keys support special operations that are clearly annotated.
