GSV-6CPU Description The GSV-6 product series offers signal processing for strain gauges on the smallest area. The core component of the GSV-6 is a PCB of dimensions 19mm x 14mm. This "GSV-6CPU" provides many of the required functions to set up a 1- to 6-channel measurement amplifier.

Dimensions Figure 1: Dimensions GSV-6CPU The GSV-6 CPU module can be configured via two different UART interfaces or via CAN (bus transceiver not integrated). There is also the option of configuring the most important settings using the Tare and Scale lines.

A UART interface for the "Monitor" text interface is available via a "BM10B" connector. The parameters are always: 115200 bits/s, 8N1. A terminal program in text mode can be used. The input "help" (ENTER) describes the operation.
