7.1 Data transfer using memory pen

The memory pen is a portable data carrier.
Via the SERIAL INTERFACE, it transfers
standardized data which corresponds with
the type of tank and the relevant gas data
to Media 6 instruments on site without re-
quiring a PC or a notebook to be connected.
A label tag can be attached to the memory
pen for identification.
The customized data is transferred to the
memory pen from a PC/notebook using the
TROVIS-VIEW Configuration and Operator
Interface (see EB 9527-2 EN) or the data
can be copied from another Media 6 instru-
ment.
The memory pen can be configured to write
and read, only read or only write depend-
ing on the status determined by TROVIS-
VIEW, see table below:

Memory pens with sets of data or existing
configurations which were created with ear-
lier TROVIS-VIEW software versions (1.02

Media 6 devices with firmware versions
A 2.10 or B 2.10.
They must first be loaded and converted
over TROVIS-VIEW software version (2.30
or higher).
Memory pens must be configured to suit the
Media 6 firmware version.
