  We report the application of the resistive anode readout method on a two
dimensional imaging GEM detector. The resistive anode consists of $6\times6$
cells with the cell size $6~\mathrm{mm}\times6~\mathrm{mm}$. New electronics
and DAQ system are used to process the signals from the 49 readout channels.
The detector has been tested by using the X-ray tube (8~keV). The spatial
resolution of the detector is about $103.46~\mathrm{{\mu}m}$ with the detector
response part about $66.41~\mathrm{{\mu}m}$. The nonlinearity of the detector
is less than $1.5\%$. A quite good two dimensional imaging capability is
achieved as well. The performances of the detector show the prospect of the
resistive anode readout method for the large readout area imaging detectors.
