6.6 Data storage device (DAT, F-Chip™)
S-DAT™ (Sensor-DAT)
The S-DAT™ is an exchangeable data storage chip in which all sensor relevant param-
eters are stored, i.e., diameter, serial number, calibration factor, zero point.
T-DAT™ (Transmitter-DAT)
The T-DAT™ is an exchangeable data storage chip in which all transmitter parameters
and settings are stored.
The user has to transfer specific parameterisation values from EEPROM to T-DAT™ and
vice versa. See the “Description of Device Functions” manual for details (“T- D AT
ADMINISTRATION” function, 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 111) and can
simply be plugged on to the I/O board (see Page 122). 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 transmitters.
