10.11 DMA35 Measurement (IrDA)
No measurements can be performed with the battery tester itself by means of this measuring function.
Instead, measured density and temperature values acquired by and stored in the portable DMA 35 Basic density meter (version 3) from
Anton Paar are transferred to the battery tester.
Note
Read the documentation included with the DMA 35 density meter from Anton Paar GmbH.
Data are transferred via infrared (IrDA).
A CSV file is transferred from the DMA 35.
The CSV file uses different characters as field separators and decimal characters.
(Use the default values as settings for the DMA 35.)
