Press submit to store the settings.
You can now start measuring with the PTB 111E or PTB 111EP instrument. The serial data
communication is live. This means once the instrument obtains a result it is immediately
sent via the serial interface. Before the first result the instrument sends a start string. From
this line PT-Node recognizes a new measuring run and creates a new file on its internal
storage.
