6.6 Data storage device (DAT, F-Chip)
T-DAT (transmitter DAT)
The T-DAT is an exchangeable data storage device in which all transmitter parameters
and settings are stored.
The operator has to transfer specific parameterisation values from the EEPROM to the
T-DAT and vice versa. Detailed instructions regarding this can be found in the
“Description of Device Functions” manual (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 119) and can simply be plugged onto the I/O board (see Page 136). 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 onto the I/O board. Thus, it cannot be used with other
transmitters.
