(0x030E)

Configuration Write Counter

Beijer Electronics Nautic Monitors store their configuration data in a non-volatile
memory called EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Read Only Memory). An EEPROM
has limited count of write/erase cycles (at least 100,000). This command returns the
amount of configuration writes, which may help to replace a device in time, if nec-
essary. As an example, if the device is configured 30 times each day (automatic and
manual configuration), the EEPROM is still capable to store new data for more than
9 years of continuous operation (100,000 / 30

≈ 3,333 days, 3,333 / 365 ≈ 9,1 years).

Supported since Firmware Version
MT230 Nautic Monitor: 1.2-C118
