The recorded values of the selected data record can be viewed (see chapter 3.). Load data: Possibility of data import e.g. from ecom software (available at „www.ecom.de“ - check the transfer options of your software). Proceed as follows: 1. Connect instrument and PC with a current RS232 cable.
10.2. Data processing with App To display and storage of measured values, the "ecom Connect App" for smartphones (iOS or Android) is available. Test results are stored along with customer information in a pdf-file and can be sent f.e. as email attachment. Links to free download of the Apps can be found on the ecom website.
11. Maintenance Tips To secure the accuracy of your measuring instrument we recom- mend the annual check by an authorized ecom partner. In the case of strong demand (e.g. permanent several hours of measurement per day, rough conditions etc.) shorter intervals between checks should be selected - please contact your ecom partner.
