To view the data logged since last power up proceed
as follows: Press key shift (11) followed by memo (9).
This can be done at anytime also during programme
run without interrupting the programme. 
Display (12) reads „L“ (for „Log“) followed by the log
number. All other displays show the same value as in
normal operation (i.e. setpoint temperature, segment
number etc.). As well all other process values can be
displayed pressing key select (21). Calling up the
remaining time instead of setpoint temperature using
the keys shift (11) followed by select (21) can be done
the same way as in normal operation display.

Additionally the time and date (only if TC505 is fitted
with the real time clock, see appendix D; if not
display of elapsed time since last power up) is
displayed (see example display on the left hand side).
To indicate log display other than normal operation
display a programme run is shown as a continuously
(and not blinking) decimal point in display (12).

To call up the further values which have been recor-
ded minute by minute the digit keys „0“ to „3“ are
misused. Press key „2“ to show next recording, press
„3“ to step back to previous recording. Keeping the
key pressed to step through the logs automatically.
Pressing key „0“ shows the 1st, „3“ the last record. 

After 15 seconds without pressing any keys the display
changes back to normal and the current value are
shown. Alternatively press keys shift (11) followed by
memo (9) to return to normal display.

Note

The controller records the set of values every 60

seconds. If there is for instance a short switching in

between two recordings it can not be seen in the

data log of course.
