1.1 Functional Overview of the GateMX/MW
GateMX/MW is a software program that monitors data from the MX100/MW100 Data
Acquisition Unit (MX100/MW100) and supplies the data to DAQLOGGER or remote
monitors (software programs). GateMX/MW enables you to monitor and logging the data
that can be measured by the MX100/MW100 using DAQLOGGER or a remote monitor.
Note
DAQLOGGER is a software application that can connect various recorders (µR, VR, DARWIN,
DX, MV, and CX models) and a PC for you to scan, record, and monitor the data.
Remote Monitor is a software application that is included in the DAQLOGGER Client Package
or DAQ32Plus Client Package. It can be used to monitor the data that has been acquired by the
recorder or data acquisition software programs. Add-on software includes a variety of programs
for customized monitors, network remote monitors, data acquisition and saving on a group basis,
monitoring of measured data and triggered data acquisition, and other functions.
Features
• Up to 32 MX100s/MW100s can be connected.
The maximum number of connections from client programs (DAQLOGGER and
remote monitors) is also 32.
• The monitor interval matches the measurement interval of the connected MX100.
* However, the fastest interval on DAQLOGGER is 1 second.
• The maximum number of data points that can be held per channel is 1800.
Note
• GateMX/MW does not contain functions for configuring the MX100/MW100.
To configure the MX100, use the MX100 Standard Software that comes standard with the MX100
or MXLOGGER, a software program sold separately. Enter MW100 settings using the browser.
• GateMX/MW does not contain computation functions.
• GateMX/MW does not contain service functions that are available on other Gate programs.
• If you use the MX100 Standard Software or MXLOGGER, GateMX100 or GateMX/MW are
displayed under the Software columns.
