6  Transmitting data to a computer 

The RS232 radio interface integrated in the instrument facilitates the transmission of the data stored in the 
measurement data memory to an optional radio receiver (order no. of US-receiver version: 603-544). 
The radio receiver, in turn, transmits the data to the evaluation computer via a cable. There is a separate 
operator's manual for the optional radio receiver. 

Prerequisite for all following sub-chapters: 

Settings of service menu must be “rF = 1” e.g. the radio transmitter 

is active. See chapter 14 “Service menu”, menu #3”, radio transmission, page 26. 

6.1 Transmitting only the current reading 

Independent of the current menu selection, each reading is radioed to the computer automatically. 
At the same time, the reading is accepted into the measurement data memory of the instrument and can be 
evaluated statistically.
