5.3. reSYNC Function
The reSYNC function ensures data integrity and accuracy by automatically synchronizing environmental parameters from the IRM-1 with the PVM-1020's measurements, even if the connection is temporarily lost.
Figure 5.2: Diagram illustrating the reSYNC function's operation.
If the master meter (PVM-1020) moves away from the IRM-1 and communication is interrupted, measurements on the PVM-1020 can continue. Once the connection is restored, the PVM-1020 automatically retrieves the environmental parameters (E, T) from the IRM-1's temporary memory and converts the previously recorded results to STC conditions.
