Interface
Using the infrared interface of the Refracto, the stored measurements together
with the sample identification, measurement unit, temperature, temperature-com-
pensation coefficient, instrument identification, date and time can be printed out
with a printer or transferred to a PC.
An infrared adapter or a PC/printer with an IrDA interface is required.
Important
Data transfer is only possible when:
• there is visual contact between the infrared adapter and the infrared interface;
• the distance between the Refracto and the infrared adapter is less than 20 cm.
