- By ending manual file recording, i.e. by releasing the OK button Recording measured data to file If data recording is active, the GSV-2MSD-DI creates directories on the SD card, which contain the measured data files. The directory name is created from the current date, depending on the directory mode setting.
The USB Mass Storage mode does not need a driver for Windows systems from Windows XP - once the USB cable is connected a window will appear (depending on operating system settings), where you can access the files; or you can reach the GSV-2MSD-DI drive via “My computer” or with the Windows explorer.
When the device is connected in Communication mode for the first time, Windows will ask for a driver directory. The installation process is described below. This must first be defined for your GSV-2MSD-DI to work in USB communication mode. To do this, click the MODE button of the measuring amplifier and select USBmode: Comm in the logger menu.
If the driver is installed successfully, it is useful to know the number of the virtual COMport assigned by Windows so that this can be specified to the communication program to allow it to open the interfaces. Proceed as follows: Right-click on “Workstation”. ME-Meßsysteme GmbH Neuendorfstr. 18a Tel.: +49 3302 78620 60 Mail: info@me-systeme.de...
