The GA10 software from Yokogawa Electric is a PC-based data acquisition program that is used for development and production processes: It is used to acquire, display and record measured values such as temperature, voltage, current, flow, pressure and other data (for example from recorders, temperature controllers and electricity meters). According to the manufacturer, the GA 10 2 release offers optional real-time calculation and report output functions as well as improved connectivity with higher-level automation systems. This allows calculations to be carried out with data from different channels and the results to be displayed in real time.
