5.2  Cyclic Measuring Point Scan

A cyclic measuring point scan can be started by using the key START if a
measuring or print cycle has been programmed. The control lamp ´CYCLE´ will
be continuously on afterwards and the measured values will be provided as
output to a connected peripheral device. If the memory is active the measured
values will also be saved in cycles and, in addition, the control lamp
´MEMORY´ will be on.

The automatic measuring point scan can be stopped

 by operating the key

STOP. The control lamps ´CYCLE´ and ´MEMORY´ will turn off afterwards.

5.3 Data Memory

The setup of the data memory, the data acquisition and data output with the
data logger ALMEMO

 8990-8, are described in the manual section 6.9. The

easiest way is to program a 

measuring cycle including memory activation

and then start the cyclic measuring point scan by using the key START and
stop it by using the key STOP. 

For an 

output of the data memory to the serial interface

 the peripheral

device must be connected (see manual 5.2), the output channel ´

U

´

 must be

set (manual 6.2.2) and an output format, ´List´, ´Column´ or ´Spreadsheet´
must be selected (manual 6.5.5, output logs, see manual 6.6.1). 

For 

starting the memory output

 the key OUTPUT must be operated. During

the memory output the control lamp ´MEMORY´ is on. The contents of the
memory is provided with the selected output format, if necessary, several times
and also in different formats. The output can be interrupted at any time by
using the key STOP and afterwards can be continued by using the 3 keys
below:

OUTPUT

manual outputs of single measuring point scans

START

automatic output is resumed

STOP

memory output is aborted

Clearing the Data Memory

While pressing and holding the key STOP operate the key OUTPUT.

Further functions of the data recording and output are also described, in detail,
in the ALMEMO

 manual.

Starting and stopping the recording with respect to time, exceeding of limit 
value or external triggering (see manual 6.6)
Selective data output with respect to time and date,
number of the measurement or alarm values only (see manual 6.9)
Continuous recording of one channel with 10 M/sec. (see manual 6.5.1.3)
