SensTool GMXS7
Senstool is an essential part of the successful configuration of the GM7xx seismic detectors. Note that
the GM710 does not have Senstool connectivity. It is strongly recommended that SensTool is used for
the configuration and commissioning of the GM7xx seismic detectors. Certain configuration options
are only available from SensTool, such as digital filters, temperature adjustment & monitoring, alarm
contact options, test input options, remote input options, and shock sensitivity.
