Yamato GL260 10-Channel Data Logger (4.3-inch Color Display) Overview
The Data Logger With 4.3" Color Display, 10 Analog Channels (GL260) from Yamato Scientific is a compact standalone multi-channel data logger built around ten isolated analog inputs and a 4.3-inch TFT color screen. LabSupplies.com supplies this unit as an authorized dealer, shipping genuine hardware from USA inventory.
Each of the ten channels uses isolated, balanced inputs wired to M3 screw terminals, accepting DC voltage, thermocouples (K, J, E, T, R, S, B, N, C, W), and humidity through the optional B-530 sensor. Sampling spans 10 ms to 1 hour, with a moving-average digital filter selectable across 2, 5, 10, 20, and 40 points.
Power comes from a 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz AC adapter, with optional 8.5–24 V DC or a battery pack for portable work. Measuring 188 × 117 × 42 mm and weighing roughly 500 g, the GL260 fits crowded benches and field kits. Manufactured in Japan, it operates from 0–45°C and 5–85% RH.
Key Features
- 10 Isolated Analog Channels: all channels use balanced, isolated inputs through M3 screw terminals for noise-resistant measurement.
- Wide Input Compatibility: reads DC voltage from 20 mV to 100 V, ten thermocouple types (K, J, E, T, R, S, B, N, C, W), and humidity with the optional B-530.
- 4.3" Color Display: WQVGA TFT screen (480 × 272) shows live readings and waveforms directly on the unit.
- High-Speed Sampling: intervals from 10 ms to 1 hour, plus logic/pulse inputs handling up to 50 kHz across four channels.
- Onboard Storage: approximately 8 GB internal memory plus an SD card slot, recording in GBD or CSV format.
- Connectivity and Alarms: USB 2.0, optional wireless LAN via B-568, and four alarm output channels.
How to Choose the Right Data Logger
Matching a data logger to your measurement task means weighing channel count, input flexibility, recording speed, and how the unit is powered and stored on-site. Use the criteria below to confirm the GL260 fits your workflow .
- Channel Count: verify you need up to ten simultaneous analog inputs; isolated, balanced channels reduce cross-channel interference in mixed-signal setups.
- Input Types: confirm the logger accepts your sensors — DC voltage, ten thermocouple types, and humidity with an optional probe cover most lab and process measurements.
- Sampling Speed: intervals from 10 ms to 1 hour determine whether the unit captures fast transients or long-duration trends.
- Display and Storage: an onboard color screen and roughly 8 GB plus SD storage let you monitor and archive data without a connected PC.
- Power Options: AC adapter operation suits the bench, while optional DC input or a battery pack supports portable and field deployment.
- Footprint: at 188 × 117 × 42 mm and about 500 g, confirm the compact form factor suits crowded benches or transport cases.
