The Teac GX-1 is a modular data acquisition system that combines the GX-1 integrated recorder, AR-GXPA x 8 input amplifier cards, and ER-GXRC remote controller into a flexible platform for measurement and recording applications. The main unit accommodates 8 amplifier slots, each supporting 2 channels, for 16 direct input channels. System capacity scales to 64 channels via optional expansion units. Data records to internal memory, AIT tape, magneto-optical disk, or PC card, with direct SCSI interface support for PC hard-disk recording. The ER-GXRC remote controller enables standalone operation—start/stop recording, playback, and event marking without a host computer.
Technical Specifications
• Input Amplifier Slots: 8 slots per main unit
• Channels per Amplifier Card: 2 channels
• Maximum Direct Channels: 16 channels (8 slots × 2 channels/slot)
• Maximum Expandable Channels: Up to 64 channels with expansion units
• Total Sampling Frequency Limit: 3,200 kHz aggregate (sampling frequency × number of channels)
• Recording Media Options:
– Internal Memory: up to 3,200 kHz total sampling, ~40 seconds max
– AIT (Advanced Intelligent Tape): up to 1,500 kHz total sampling, ~138 minutes max
– Magneto-Optical Disk: up to 200 kHz total sampling, ~50 minutes max
– PC Card
• Data Transfer: SCSI interface
• Data Format: TAFFmat (Teac Data Acquisition File Format) with .dat and .hdr files
• Multi-Sampling: Concurrent recording of fast and slow phenomena to optimize storage
– Key Features
• Slot-by-slot sampling frequency configuration
• Remote operation via ER-GXRC without PC connection
• GX Navi software for unified control of sensing, calibration, recording, monitoring, and data transfer
• Modular architecture supports custom channel counts and media selection
– Typical Applications
Sensor-based measurement campaigns, transient event capture, multi-channel monitoring with variable data rates, and field acquisition with post-acquisition PC analysis.
– Compatibility & Integration
The GX-1 functions as a front-end acquisition device for SCSI-connected PCs. The AR-GXPA x 8 amplifier card integrates directly into GX-1 slots. The ER-GXRC remote controller operates independently of PC infrastructure.
