Only the measurement data that is read out from the current point in time is assigned to the new site. After clicking on "OK", the option to select from which time period onwards the data should be read out opens.
This procedure is recommended, if an Internet connection cannot be established on the site while reading out the data from the myDatasensMINI H2S 1000. During this procedure, the data on the site is initially only synchronised with the DeviceConfig configuration program. The data is then transferred to the myDatanet server at a later date when your PC has re-established a connection to the Internet.
