4.2 Parameters and reading out meter data
Communication with the EM4TII+ follows the standard IEC 62056-21 (formerly IEC 61107).
Knowledge of this standard is assumed for the development of any kind of terminal software dedicated
to read the meter data.
All data objects are identified here by the OBIS Code System (formerly EDIS code system).
OBIS codes are given here in part as a full 6-digit code. On the possibly shortened reference OBIS
codes are referred to in this document, if any.
