6.3 Data storage device (DAT, F-Chip™)
S-DAT™(Sensor-DAT)
The S-DAT™ is an exchangeable data storage device in which all sensor relevant
parameters are stored, i.e., diameter, serial number, calibration factor, zero point.
T-DAT™ (Transmitter-DAT)
The T-DAT™ is an exchangeable data storage device in which all transmitter parameters
and settings are stored.
Storing of specific parameter settings from the EEPROM to the T-DAT™ and vice versa
has to be carried out by the user (= manual save function). Detailed instructions regard-
ing this can be found in the handbook “Description of Device Functions” (function
“T-DAT SAVE/LOAD”, No. 1009).
F-Chip™ (Function-Chip)
The F-Chip™ is a microprocessor chip that contains additional software packages that
extend the functionality and application possibilities of the transmitter.
In the case of a later upgrade, the F-Chip™ can be ordered as an accessory (see
Page 97) and can simply be plugged in to the I/O board (see Page 111). After start up,
the software is immediately made available to the transmitter.
"
Caution:
To ensure an unambiguous assignment, the F-Chip™ is coded with the transmitter serial
number once it is plugged in. Thus, it can not be reused with other measuring devices.
