Area  with  information  about  the  logger,  such  as  Model,  Serial  Number,  Logger 

Date/Time,  PC  Date/Time,  firmware  version,  memory  capacity  and  number  of 
acquisitions stored in memory, etc. In this field, time is constantly updated while the 
communication between logger and computer is taking place 

Acquisition 

Register card where a series of parameters that define the acquisition process are 
determined. 

Period 

Defines the interval between readings: The minimum interval is (1) one second and
