Abstract:
A method for configuring a measuring arrangement for monitoring a section covered by at least one sensor that supplies measured quantities including section information and physical data to the measuring arrangement, wherein the measuring arrangement is programmable to acquire, edit, save, represent and/or signal the measured quantities and includes a library including zone-specific data specific to one or more zones by which the section may be selectively defined in at least one configuration of the measuring arrangement, the library further including parameter sets selectable for programming at least one configuration of the measuring arrangement, and wherein the measuring arrangement is programmed to compile data groups on a zone-specific basis by assigning zone-specific data to the measured quantities, the method comprising the steps of:transmitting at least a portion of the zone-specific data from the library to the measuring arrangement; and selectively transmitting, from the library to the measuring arrangement, at least one parameter set for editing at least one data group.
