  • Page 16: Calculating The Data Volume

    Calculating the data volume General When operating Fronius Datamanager 2.0, data is generated and needs to be transmit- ted online. In order to select a suitable internet connection it is necessary to calculate the data volume. The following data volume calculation provides an overview of the amount of data gener- ated when operating Fronius Datamanager 2.0.

  • Page 17: Calculation Examples

    If the functions have been deactivated, no data volume is generated. A certain data volume is also required to update the Fronius Datamanager 2.0 firmware. This data volume depends on the size of the relevant update package and cannot there- fore be taken into account for any advance calculation of the data volume.
