The Adapter can be removed and replaced in the field. This may be desirable for any
number of reasons, some of which are:
•
Ethernet Diagnostics: Observe the Link/Activity LED to confirm the
communications link
•
DataStick Diagnostics: Temporarily plug in a USB Communications Adapter for
PC diagnostics
•
Repair: Replace a damaged DataStick assembly without rewiring
•
Change Measurement: Quickly swap the Sensor Head with a spare that’s been
calibrated in the laboratory
