---------------------

- Large load profiles (> 1 day) often touch the memory boundary (RAM) of the computer. It is recommended to read large profiles day per day.
- Dlms tree: some object names are not correctly shown in the left pane (ID1.1, IEC Device Address). The meter is parameterised correctly and the entries are not affected neither.
