Chapter 1 Before Using the Product 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.
Chapter 1 Before Using the Product Data Collection Project GA10 collects data in units of projects. Projects are created by users to suite their purposes. For example, a project named “Process A” can be created to collect measured data from a process called “A.” In this way, a project can be created for each set of collected data. For each project, the data to be collected, data to be recorded, the monitor page layout, and the like are specified. Multiple projects can be created in a single server.
Chapter 1 Before Using the Product Features to improve reliability GA10 features the following functions to ensure reliable data collection. Data supplementing function (Backfill function) If a data dropout occurs in the data file that is being recorded due to a communication interference, this function automatically acquires data from the internal memory of the device and restores the data loss in the file. Data dropout Interference Restores the data loss.

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 7.2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1 Can the server and client be installed and run in the same PC? A1 Yes. The server and client can be installed in the same PC or in different PCs. Q2 Is there a way to back up the recording data files automatically? A2 You can use the mail transmission feature to send generated data files as email attachments. You can store the data files as back up in the device receiving the email messages.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting When the communication interference is eliminated, the backfill function operates automatically. The restored data is saved as a new file, and you can view it on the Data files Page. Marks that indicate that backfill has been performed are added to the beginning and end of the restored section of the data. In the case of a short communication interference,* data loss may be restored even when the above settings are not specified.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Q6 A communication error occurred between the client and server. Will data collection continue? A6 Because data collection is performed between the server and data collection devices, the operation continues even when a communication error occurs between the client PC and server PC. When a communication error occurs between the client PC and server PC, the client logs out from the server. The project that was open is closed.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Q9 The device data and the data collected and recorded by the software are not synchronized. Why? A9 Data collected using Device time is recorded as-is by the software. In this situation, the device data and the collected and recorded data are synchronized. However, data collected using PC time are timestamped with the PC time and the values are adjusted accordingly. In this situation, the device data and the collected and recorded data based on PC time may not be synchronized.
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting What is PC time? PC time is the time information that the server PC uses. In PC time mode, the server attaches PC timestamps on the data collected from devices. This data is displayed on the Monitor Page and saved in recording files. • Data collected using PC time will not necessarily be synchronized to the data of the corresponding devices. Q9 • The timestamps attached to data in PC time mode are determined so that data collection would always occur at midnight (00:00:00).
Chapter 7 Troubleshooting • Monitor The trend monitor displays data based on a single time axis. If there are multiple devices, the Monitor Set will be divided and waveforms in the display group will be displayed in windows divided at the interval level. Only up to four divided windows can be displayed. Anything in excess will not be displayed. A similar behavior will also occur in alarm lists. The page will be divided, and the lists will be displayed separately at the device level.
