6.10 Data storage device
At Endress+Hauser, the term HistoROM refers to various types of data storage modules on
which process and measuring device data is stored. By plugging and unplugging such
modules, device configurations can be duplicated onto other measuring devices to cite just
one example.
6.10.1 HistoROM/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.
6.10.2 HistoROM/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 device memory (EEPROM) to the T-DAT
module and vice versa has to be carried out by the user (= manual save function). Detailed
information about the procedure → 95
6.10.3 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 and can simply be
plugged on to the I/O board. 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.
