8 Output
The output can be used as serial interface or as analogue output (0-1V). If none of both is needed, we
suggest to switch the output off, battery life then is extended.
8.1 Interface - Base address ('Adr.')
By using an electrically isolated interface converter USB 3100 N, GRS 3100 or GRS 3105 (accessory) the
device can be connected to a PC.
With the GRS 3105 it is possible to connect up to 5 instruments of the GMH 3000 family to a single interface
(please also refer to GRS 3105-manual). As a precondition the base addresses of all devices must not be
identical, make sure to configure the base addresses accordingly (refer menu point “Adr.” in chapter 4).
In order to avoid transmission errors, there are several security checks implemented (e.g. CRC).
The following standard software packages are available:
 GSOFT 3050: Operation and read out of logger function for devices with integrated data logger
 GMHKonfig: Software for a comfortable editing of the device (e.g. Material selection…)
 EBS 20M / 60M: 20-/60-channel software to display the measuring values
In case you want to develop your own software we offer a GMH3000-development package including:
 A universally applicable Windows functions library ('GMH3000.DLL') with documentation that can be used by the
most programming languages. Suitable for Windows XP™, Windows Vista™, Windows 7™, Windows 8 / 8.1™,
Windows 10™
- Programming examples Visual Studio 2010 (C#, C++ und VB), Testpoint™,LabView™ and others.
The device has 2 channels:
- Channel 1: Material-moisture in % and base-address
- Channel 2: Temperature

The measuring and range values read via interface are always in the selected display unit
(°C/°F)!
8.2 Analogue output – scaling with DAC.0 and DAC.1
With the DAC.0 and DAC.1 values the output can be rapidly scaled to Your efforts.
Keep in mind not to connect low-resistive loads to the output, otherwise the output value will be wrong and battery life is
decreased. Loads above ca 10kOhm are uncritical.
If the display exceeds the value set by DAC.1, then the device will apply 1V to the output
If the display falls below the value set by DAC.0, then the device will apply 0V to the output
In case of an error (Err.1, Err.2, no sensor, etc.) the device will apply slightly above 1V to the output.

9 Application in the glued timber construction and laminated timber production
The instrument with its curve h.460 (Fir) was certified by the MPA Stuttgart (Otto Graf institute) for applications in the
glued timber construction according to following regulations:
EN 14080 : 2013
EN 16351 : 2015
Used equipment: Cable GMK38 and reciprocating piston electrode GHE91 (recommended) or impact electrode GSE91.
Therefore it is especially suitable for glued timber construction and laminated timber production.
