Yamato GL860 Multi-Channel Data Logger, 20–200 Channels (7-inch Display) Overview
The Data Logger With 7" Color Display (GL860) from Yamato Scientific is an isolated multi-channel data logger built for high-density measurement. Twenty analog input channels ship standard and scale to a maximum of 200, letting one unit cover everything from a single bench to a full environmental chamber array. LabSupplies.com is an authorized dealer.
Each channel accepts DC voltage from 20 mV to 100 V, thermocouples (K, J, E, T, R, S, B, N, C), and RTD inputs. Sampling runs from 5 ms to 1 hour, capturing fast transients or long-duration trends. Operators read live data on a 7" color LCD at 800 × 480 resolution.
Power comes from a 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz AC adapter, with optional DC input and battery for portable work. Recordings store to 8 GB internal memory or an SDHC card up to 32 GB in GBD or CSV format. Built in Japan, the unit operates from 0–45°C at 5–85% RH.
Key Features
- Scalable channel count: 20 analog inputs standard, expandable to a maximum of 200 channels.
- Broad input support: DC voltage (20 mV to 100 V), thermocouples (K, J, E, T, R, S, B, N, C), and RTD.
- Fast sampling: selectable interval from 5 ms to 1 hour for transient or long-term logging.
- 7" color display: 800 × 480 LCD for live readout and on-unit configuration.
- Flexible storage: 8 GB internal memory plus SDHC card to 32 GB, saving GBD or CSV files.
- Connectivity and control: USB 2.0, Ethernet, optional Wi-Fi, Modbus communication, 4-channel alarm output, and memory-loop recording.
How to Choose the Right Data Logger
Matching a logger to your workflow means weighing channel density, input compatibility, and recording speed against your measurement plan. Use these axes to scope the right configuration.
- Channel count: confirm how many points you measure now and later. This unit starts at 20 and expands to 200, suiting growing test rigs.
- Input types: verify the logger accepts your sensors. Support spans DC voltage, nine thermocouple types, and RTD inputs.
- Sampling interval: faster phenomena need shorter intervals. A 5 ms floor captures rapid transients that slower loggers miss.
- Storage and data format: long campaigns demand capacity. Internal 8 GB plus SDHC to 32 GB and GBD/CSV output simplify analysis.
- Connectivity: remote monitoring favors Ethernet, USB, optional Wi-Fi, and Modbus integration.
- Power source: bench work runs on the AC adapter; field deployment uses optional DC input and battery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many channels does the GL860 support?
The GL860 provides 20 analog input channels as standard and expands to a maximum of 200 channels. That range lets a single logger scale from small benchtop tests to large multi-point monitoring arrays.
What sensor and input types are compatible?
Each channel accepts DC voltage, thermocouples, and RTD inputs. Supported thermocouple types are K, J, E, T, R, S, B, N, and C, and the DC voltage range spans 20 mV to 100 V.
What power source does the GL860 require?
The unit runs on an AC adapter rated 100–240 V at 50/60 Hz. Optional DC input and a battery are available for portable or field deployments where mains power is unavailable.
How fast can the GL860 sample data?
Sampling interval is selectable from 5 ms to 1 hour. The 5 ms floor captures fast transients, while longer intervals suit extended trend recording over hours or days.
How much data can the logger store and in what format?
The GL860 includes 8 GB of internal memory and accepts an SDHC card up to 32 GB. Recordings save in GBD or CSV format for direct import into analysis software.
What is the operating environment and country of origin?
The GL860 operates from 0–45°C and 5–85% relative humidity. It is manufactured in Japan and reads measurements on a 7" color LCD at 800 × 480 resolution.
