Patent ID: 8874401

Claim:
A method for parameterization of a measuring device, the device being configured to operate in three modes comprising: transmitting measured data of the measuring device over data cables in a first mode, wherein a microcontroller operates the at least one of the data cables at low impedance and the microcontroller connects the output device to a data recording component via a switch; storing parameters of the measuring device in a memory, reading out parameters stored in the memory, and transmitting the parameters to an evaluation unit in a second mode, wherein the microcontroller operates the at least one of the data cables at low impedance, and the microcontroller connects a transmitting cable to the output device via the switch; and supplying the parameters to the memory over at least one of the data cables, and in supplying the parameters, operating the at least one of the data cable at high impedance for a time period relative to the transmission of measured values, the microcontroller operating the at least one of the data cables at high impedance in a third mode using the tri-state cable, wherein the time period is started by turning on the measuring device, wherein the time period is terminated if no parameterization request signal presents on the at least one of the data cables after a defined period of time.
