Data acquisition is the measurement, recording, analyzing, and presentation of real-world phenomena. It includes electrical measurements such as voltage, current, and power as well as measurements through sensors and transducers including temperature, pressure, flow, level, strain, acceleration, pH, humidity, and more.
Selecting the ideal recorders/data loggers depends on your application. Typical factors include sample rates, channel scalability, signal conditioning, sensor types, analysis capability, mobility, and environmental conditions.
G-Tek’s paperless recorders/data loggers are recognized for industry-leading measurement accuracy, noise tolerance, and build quality. These include most industrial networking protocols and all-in-one architectures and typically require no programming.
With 25 years of journey in both service and manufacturing of process measurement, G-Tek has served as the reliable industry in India for Chart Recorders, Data Loggers, Storage Recorders, Scanners, Paperless Recorders, etc. G-Tek’s data loggers and recorders are being used by several industries in India for quality, process control, and product accuracy.
A process plant has many critical control process parameters. Their location can be wide apart. Running a cable to the centralized location from the monitoring point can be a bulky task. Even the field noise like EMI/EMC from the large inductive loads will modify the signal and measurement can be a lot more erroneous and difficult. With localized monitoring using a data logger and communicating the data in real-time over Ethernet to a centralized location is a way to go.

G-Tek offers its LmNet, SC5x / 9xPro, and Paperless recorders to connect seamlessly to the centralized GtekNet software.
G-Tek’s new-networked data loggers are the latest addition in its range. These data loggers are Ethernet connected for easily connecting and forming a wide network. They are Easy to Use, Accurate, and Affordable solutions to monitor and record up to 4 channels of any process parameter. The display is a big 0.8” LED that makes it visible from a distance. The data logger has an optional feature of alarm output. The data logger can be stored in the internal memory and can be transferred to the GtekNet application. Since it is Ethernet based, it is very easy to make it a part of your network either wired or wireless. Being connected on Ethernet, you can easily add the device without either installing the application or disturbing the earlier installations.
Some of the basic features of G-Tek’s new networked data loggers come with:
- Logging Interval is user programmable from 1 sec to 18 hours
- Ultra-bright large LED display
- Freeze display on any channel
- Large Memory 32000 Data Records
- Universal Sensor input
- Ethernet interface
- Alarm relay / LED output
- 15 – 30 V DC Operated
GtekNet is a client-server-based software. The main software resides in the central server which from time to time keeps collecting the data from all the devices connected to a network. The user can see these data based on his role and perform all the tasks assigned to his role from any client computer connected to a network through a browser. This software can handle various protocols or proprietary protocols simultaneously and bring the information about the process to a central server. Users can use any standard web browser on the client side to view/manage the data. 21CFR Part 11 compliance with Audit trail is a built-in feature. Users can configure reports and generate them automatically at a predefined time. Auto-generated reports can be emailed to the assigned users automatically. SMS and Voice alerts over GSM are easy to configure and send.
These are widely useful in monitoring processes in Cold Chain applications, Pharmaceuticals, Food and Beverages, Milk and Dairy Producers, Environmental monitoring, Fermentation processes, Tyre plants, and many more.
