2.8.3 Gas composition logbook
All changes of gas composition parameters for volume conversion are saved in the Gas
composition logbook.
The entry contains timestamp, old and new value of the changed parameter, totalizer level
Vb, logged on user and the register number. The Gas composition logbook can have a
maximum of 150 entries. The oldest entries are overwritten when the Gas composition log-
book is full.
The Gas composition logbook can only be cleared when the parameter locking switch is
open.
