following button:
- update with standard communication parameters, i.e.: baud rate: 9600 kb/s,
mode: 8N2 or with the following button pressed:
- update with recommended communication
parameters, i.e.: baud rate: 115200 kb/s, mode: 8N2. When all LEDs are lit and the „

5.8. Measuring values archiving
5.8.1 Transducer memory structure
P30 transducers are by default (regardless of the version) are equipped with 4MB internal
memory to store data registered by the transducer. Any displayed value (registers 7500...7515) can be a
registered parameter with an exception of meter values (energy meters). Second displayed value can be
registered optionally.
Internal memory of the transducer can store up to 534336 records. Memory is
organized as a circular buffer. After the memory is full, the oldest data are overwritten first. Internal
archive can be read, copied and deleted.
