Page 3: Introduction
CONTENTS PAGE Introduction The GP30-DEV-KIT is a platform for a quick and easy start-up and evaluation of the TDC-GP30 ultrasonic flow converter (UFC). It supports the QFN32 package, which offers the functionality need for standard water and heat meters. The development kit offers user-friendly configuration and extensive testing of the TDC-GP30, but also the complete assembler environment for programming the device. -
Page 4: Quick Start Guide
Connect your spool piece to US_UP and US_DOWN Quick Start for Initial Measurements From the “Start” menu, go to “All Programs” and then to the “ScioSense” directory. Double click the “GP30_v2_0” icon (or newer versions, if available) to begin execution of the evaluation software. - Page 5 CONTENTS PAGE Figure 2: Functional Blocks • Click the “Verify Interface” button to confirm communication between PicoProg Lite and TDC-GP30 is working. Both fields, “Pico Prog Lite FW version” and “Comm. With GP30 OK?”, should become green. • Next, open our initial configuration GP30Y_config_default_03 and download it into the chip, pressing “Write Config”.

Page 6: Hardware Description
CONTENTS PAGE Hardware Description Introduction The GP30-DEV MODULE board, shown in Figure 3, is a front-end for a water or heat meters. The transducers and temperature sensors are directly connected to this board. It comes with a 32.768 kHz quartz (X2) and a 4 MHz ceramic oscillator (X1). All ports of TDC-GP30 are available. Additional patch fields allow an easy extension with additional circuits. -
Page 7: Software Description
First Step with Measurement Control Elements A good first step is to load a working configuration and make measurements in frontend mode (without using the internal 32-Bit µP). ScioSense provides a sample configuration file named GP30Y_config_default_03 which typically works well with DN20 spool pieces. -
