GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The G308 Operator Interface Terminal combines unique capabilities normally
expected from high-end units with a very affordable price. It is built around a
high performance core with integrated functionality. This core allows the G308
to perform many of the normal features of the Paradigm range of Operator
Interfaces while improving and adding new features.
The G308 is able to communicate with many different types of hardware using
high-speed RS232/422/485 communications ports and Ethernet 10 Base T/100
Base-TX communications. In addition, the G308 features USB for fast downloads
of configuration files and access to trending and data logging. A CompactFlash
socket is provided so that Flash cards can be used to collect your trending and data
logging information as well as to store larger configuration files.
In addition to accessing and controlling of external resources, the G308
allows a user to easily view and enter information. Users can enter data through
the touchscreen or front panel 7-button keypad.
