OGGING FUNCTION
The
Logging
function allows the recording of up to 32,000 measurements from the three input
channels in the internal memory of the instrument with a time interval between two consecutive
measurements which may be set from 1 to 3600 seconds. The data in the memory may be trans-
ferred to the PC by means of the command on the Menu “
Log File Manager
”:
key <MENU> >>
2) Logging >> 4) Log File Manager.
The logging function may be started and stopped immediately by the user, by pressing the key
<2/LOG>, or after a time delay: the date and time of starting and stopping logging may be set in
advance by the user. In the latter case the logging start and stop commands are given by the instru-
ment.
The diagram below shows the steps for starting and stopping immediate logging.

When pressing the <2/LOG> key the above screen which is in the middle appears. The logging of
the data which correspond to the displayed variables is activated with the F1 (SCREEN) function
key: in this case the variables A1, B1 and C1 are stored. The logging of all the inputs A1, A2, .., C3
and also the internal temperature is activated with the F3 (ALL) function key.
Press the <F2>’Stop Logging’ function key to manually stop the logging.
If after having pressed the key <2/LOG> you
do not
want to proceed with logging, it is sufficient to
press the clear key <ESC/CLR>.
The display of data with HyperTerminal with the LOG>>ALL function is the same as the table be-

Note: as the variables are more than the ones which can be simultaneously displayed, the
LOG>>ALL logging function of the ‘VIEW SELECTED LOG’ File Manager function cannot be
activated: when a logged file is selected with the LOG>>ALL function the message “
NON_VIEW!
(Print only)
” appears. In this case use the “PRINT SELECTED LOG” function to print the data.
The LOG>>ALL function logs 5 measurements each page, for a total number of 10.000
measurements (5 measurements each 2000 pages).
The settings of the parameters for all the logging functions are in the MENU under the item
Logging
(
see p.17 for a detailed description
).
Below are some examples of the use of the Logging function, explained step by step.
