GSV-6BT Data logger

The ultra-miniature data logger GSV-6BT has a Bluetooth interface as well as an SD card slot. 

The GSV-6BT can be used parallel to the measurement data acquisition via Bluetooth -- or autonomously, without Bluetooth connection as a data logger for recording on SD card.

The data is saved as a comma-separated text file. They can be converted to TDMS format and displayed graphically in the GSVmulti software.

Operating modes of the data logger

The following operating modes are possible:

  • permanent recording with the set data frequency, 1Hz...500Hz
  • periodic recording, e.g. 1/minute, 1/hour, 1/day, ...
  • Triggered recording via digital control line (special case)

For fast, permanent recording, the power supply must be configured appropriately.

In the default configuration, the GSV-6BT is turned on when the Bluetooth connection is established, and turned off when the Bluetooth connection is terminated (or lost).
