MENU
– Information
Important device information is summarized in this menu. It includes the sensor number, the serial number, the software

USB Port
The meter’s USB port is located on the bottom of the housing. The meter is connected to a PC via the USB interface cable, and the PC detects the
integrated micro SDHC memory card as a removable data storage medium. The measurement files stored in CSV format can then be easily opened,
copied, moved or deleted. As long as the meter is conn
ected to the PC, it’s supplied with electrical power via the USB port and is not switched off.
If the meter is connected to the power pack via the USB interface cable, the integrated battery is charged as described in section 1.3. Charging via the
PC’s USB port takes a long time and is not recommended.
The open protocol for device control and data communication permits incorporation into the user’s own applications. The interface description and an
associated demo application can be downloaded from the MAVOSPEC BASE product page at

Firmware Update
The sustainable device concept is open to future function expansions and amendments to the applicable standards. If necessary, new firmware versions
will be made available by GOSSEN, which the customer can install to the device himself. After updating the firmware, the meter is then fully up to date.
User settings remain unchanged. Updating instructions and new firmware can be downloaded from the MAVOSPEC BASE product page at
