Software / Communication
Firstly, the GSV-6BT has to be searched and found (with the battery plugged in) by the
Bluetooth driver of the BT adapter of the PC. The device name to display the GSV-6BT after
it has been found is the same as the serial number of the device indicated on the
nameplate. Some drivers may need to search manually for the supported services; SPP (BT
classic) and BT-LE are supported.
To use the Windows program GSVmultichannel, e.g. for configuration, the BT driver for SPP
must create a virtual COM port whose number should be known (otherwise look in the
Windows Device Manager), so that the program can connect to the GSV-6BT. Click on the
button "Add Channel".
The BT device search process does not need to be repeated later if the same device copy is
reopened with the same PC, and the COM port number will remain the same. If the host PC
or another GSV-6BT copy is changed, the search must be carried out again.
After connecting to the software or opening the COM port, the GSV-6BT is fully turned on,
the blue LED that indicates the active BT connection is lit as well as the green that indicates
that the GSV-6CPU analog amplifier electronics are on.
With GSVmultichannel can be configured among many other things whether the GSV-6CPU
should remain switched on after closing the BT connection or not. If it is off, this saves
battery charge, if it is on, e. g. the measurement data can be permanent recorded.
This and other Bluetooth-specific settings can be found in the program below:
Menu bar Device Advanced Settings Interface Bluetooth Settings→ → → →
Settings for recording can be found here:
Menu bar Device Advanced Settings Administration Measuring Value Logger → → → → →
Settings
There you can also open a file browser for the GSV-6BT SD card.
GSVmultichannel also provides a context help, which can be activated in the main window
via Menubar -> Help.
After the first or new connection of the battery (Li-ion battery), the real-time clock should be
reset. This is especially important when measuring data is to be recorded on an SD card.
When you first turn it on after plugging in a new battery or when it has been recharged and
completely empty, the red GSV6 LED flashes quickly 1.
With GSVmultichannel the real-time clock can be set here:
Menu bar Device Advanced Settings Administration→ → →
On the right side under "Device RTC time" click on the button next to the date / time display
1 it start with device software version 3.17
