.
The USB device port
For instruments fitted with a Communication side cover.
The USB device can be connected to the USB device port housed in the
Communication side cover. The USB device requires FlexOffice or another third party
software.
A USB memory stick
For instruments fitted with a Communication side cover. A USB memory stick can be
inserted and removed from the USB host port housed in the Communication side
cover. No additional software is required for the transfer.
XML Export
The exporting of XML data has some special requirements.
• XML standards do not allow a mix of imperial and metric measurement
systems. When exporting XML data, all measurements will be converted to the
same measurement system as set for the distance unit. For example, if the
distance unit is set to a metric unit (metre), the pressure and temperature
units will be converted to metric units as well, even if they are set to imperial
units on the instrument.
• The angle unit MIL is not supported by XML. When exporting XML data,
measurements using this unit are converted to dec.deg.
• The distance unit ft-in/16 is not supported by XML. When exporting XML data,
measurements using this unit are converted to feet.
If the receiver is too slow in processing data the data could be lost. With
this type of data transfer the instrument is not informed about the
performance of the receiver (no protocol). Therefore the success of this
type of transfer is not checked.
