Memory and file options
of the recorder, import the configuration from the USB memory, chapter 12.3
- after the configuration has been completed, the memory can be disconnected from the USB socket
As an alternative to the configuration methods described above, the user can prepare his own application using
the available serial interfaces and the MODBUS-RTU or MODBUS-TCP communication protocol.
The default (factory) configuration can be restored manually (chapter 12.3), online or offline (see the description
above).

Main Menu
(by pressing the
[ESC] button)
or disconnects the device from the USB socket.
