Operation Storing Data Device shut down; data storage activated (see p. 11, chap. 6.3) Deleting data If "auto off" appears, the device will automatically shut down mbar in 20 s. mode If a key is pressed, the contents of the data storage unit will be erased. ...
Operation Choose unit In order to configure the measurement unit, the device must be switched into configura- tion mode. Hold down the mode key of the shut-down device until the "rAtE" display ap- pears. Condition: Measurement device is shut down! ...
Operation TPG 202 calibration The device is calibrated ex works. Use under other climate conditions, extreme temper- Atmosphere (CALH) ature fluctuations, weathering, or dirt may necessitate readjustment. Conduct zero-point adjustment at the same ambient temperature at which the device is typically operated.
PC mode The TPG 202 can be connected to the PC via a USB port in order to transmit the mea- surement data. The DokuStar software (accessory) supports recording current pressure values (online measurement) as well as reading out the measurement value storage unit.

Maintenance Pfeiffer Vacuum Protocol for "USB" The telegram frame of the Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol contains only ASCII code characters Telegram frame [32; 127], the exception being the end character of the message . Basically, a master (e.g. a PC) sends a telegram, which is answered by a slave (e.g. electronic drive unit or gauge).
