function If grand totalizer is enabled, it shares the seven-digit display line with the job totalizer –
alternating between job and grand Grand totalizer rollovers are displayed with a count value that
increments at each rollover Totalizers are automatically backed up into non-volatile FLASH memory
every twenty minutes and prior to battery expiration; manually via keypad or when signaled via
Modbus (B30A/M/Y/Z only)
