Replay". Files that were captured in the past can also be replayed from the same menu. This completes our simple explanation of how to use the basic GL900 functions. The GL900 has many other convenient functions. Please see the next five pages for further details.
GL900 Convenient Functions The GL900 is provided with various functions that enable it to be used more effectively. We have selected three of those functions to describe in further detail. Timer Functions and Trigger Functions to Control Data Capture Start/Stop Operations Timer functions and trigger functions can be used to control the timing of the start of a data operation, and the timing of the end of a data capture operation.
