ADDED [FLEXY] MISC: Flash Memory Management improved New data logging mechanism in FW 14.0 for Ewon Flexy. Prior to version 14.0 the recorded data points were synchronised with the flash memory at every change. From firmware 14.0 on, the recorded data points are synchronised every 10 seconds with the flash memory. This changes minimizes the CPU load required for the data recording, and it will also have a positive impact on the Ewon flash memory life cycle, especially if Ewon is recording many datapoints.
