    摘要: A radar level indicator comprising a processor, an analogue-digital converter circuit and an intermediate memory connected therebetween. The intermediate memory is configured to receive digital signals from the analogue-digital converter circuit at a first data rate. The processor is configured to read out the intermediate memory at a second data rate that is different from the first data rate. It is thus possible to reduce the transmission time while maintaining the same energy requirement.

    摘要: Described is a process measurement device having an interface for connecting a plug-in memory, in which a processing measurement device includes a memory operating device that can switch the process measurement device into a memory access mode when the memory is connected to the process measurement device. Also described is a power supply that ensures that the energy demand required for read access or write access to the process measurement device is automatically covered after the connection of the memory by increasing the amount of electrical energy that is freely available in the process measurement device. Undesired undersupply of the process measurement device can thereby be effectively avoided.

    摘要: A service module is for a level measuring device, which after being connected to the level measuring device can identify automatically the level measuring device, the operating program version used by the level measuring device and a status message generated by the level measuring device. Then the service module determines on the basis of the status message, what data is required from the level measuring device in order to identify a status of the level measuring device, which status is associated with the status message. This data is received on a data storage unit, which unit can be analysed in the laboratory. A service engineer is not required on site.
