Manual 7. Close the explorer and remove the device symbol from the system bar with "Securely remove hardware". 8. Briefly press the S11 key or start the device anew to accept the changed configuration file. Note Should the time synchronization be done via the gateway, then the device must have access to the Internet.
Manual ibaPADU-C-8AI Note If the timeserver is not available, measurement will be started without synchronization. 6.2.2 Product information The file “product.log” is stored on the device in the “log” directory. It contains important device information, such as hostname, serial number, hardware and firmware versions, MAC address etc.
Manual Start measurement process First connect the input signals with the analog or digital inputs. The measurement can be started in two ways: 6.3.1 Start measurement process manually The manual measurement process is started and stopped by briefly pressing the S11 key.
Manual ibaPADU-C-8AI Reading measurement data The measurement data file can be read via the USB connection or via the Ethernet con- nection using FTP.
