1.6 Measured Values
The inverter measures signals during operation. The signals are depicted and stored in a
communication device or communication software in the form of measured values.
The measured values in this manual are categorized according to communication protocol. For an
explanation of the values for Data I, refer to the descriptions under Data II+. The type of inverter will
determine which measured values your inverter will display. Some measured values can be viewed
only by the installer.
1.7 Operating Parameters
The various operating parameters control the functionality of the inverter. They can only be viewed
and changed using a communication device or communication software.
The operating parameters in this manual are categorized according to communication protocol. For
an explanation of the parameters for Data I, refer to the descriptions under Data II+. The type of
inverter will determine which operating parameters your inverter will display. Some operating
parameters can only be viewed and changed by the installer. There are also display parameters that
cannot be changed.
1.8 Event Messages
Section 2.3"Event Messages",page15 for Data I and section 3.3"Event Messages",page43 for
Data II+ contain an overview of the event messages sent by the inverter when an update is carried
out or an error arises. Some event messages can only be viewed by the installer.
