  • Page 36: Procedure In Case Of Connection Aborts

    The internal data memory of the myDatalogEASYplus is designed as a circular buffer with 4 sectors. If the maximum number of data records (25.588 ) is achieved, the sector with the oldest data is deleted fully before new data can be saved in this sector again. This means that the internal data memory at the very least contains the measurement values of the last 19191 cycles, however at most the measurement values of the last 25.588 cycles.

    Chapter 5 Functional principle 5.4 ALOHA transmission mode ALOHA transmission mode is a special connection mode whereby the myDatalogEASYplus establishes a connection to the myDatanet server for a period of time configured via the "Basic settings" configuration section (see "Aloha/wakeup duration" in chapter "Basic settings" on page 96).

  • Page 38: Automatic Selection Of The Gsm Network

    5.5 Automatic selection of the GSM network The GSM network to which the device should register must be selected, as the myDatalogEASYplus is equipped with a SIM chip that provides a mobile connection via a variety of international service providers (see www.microtronics.at/footprint ). This is completed automatically by the device. During this process it is taken into consideration if a connection to a certain GSM network is possible although the use of this GSM network repeatedly causes transmission errors.
  • Page 39 Chapter 5 Functional principle If there is a GPRS error (see error codes -975 to -993 in chapter "Modem error" on page 128), then an internal counter is increased by 2 . If a transmission was completed without errors, i.e. all of the data was transferred, this internal counter is reduced by 1 .
