loaded in the PDR8000, the hardware model and serial number.

The electronic label can be read either on-line or by loading a previously saved epr or dpd file.
The Electronic Label is also stored in the dpd file, even though the information contained in it
does not overwrite the electronic labels of the PDR8000s during 'cloning'.
Note:
An epr file contains the personality and calibration data of a specific PDR8000 unit. A dpd file
contains the personality settings of a PDR8000 unit. Used for 'cloning'.
