15 Data transmission
The data can be transmitted to the PC via the communication interfaces (process interface RS485 (optional) or service
interface RS232) of the transmitter.
15.1 FluxDiagReader/FluxDiag
With the help of FluxDiagReader and FluxDiag it is possible to display measurement data, snaps and parameter settings
on the PC and to export them as csv file. In order to use FluxDiagReader, the measurement has to be stopped.
In addition to this, FluxDiag allows to analyze, to compare and to visualize measurement data during the measurement as
well as to create reports. A permanent data transmission via FluxDiag is not recommended.
For the operation of the programs see FluxDiagReader support or FluxDiag support.
For the connection of the service interface see section 7.5.
15.2 Terminal program
If FluxDiag is not available, the measurement data can be transmitted to a terminal program in ASCII format.
15.2.1 Online transmission

The data logger works independently of the online transmission but with the same transmission rate.
