5.3 Samples
This allows the number of samples to be selected for RMS
mode. In this mode, samples are taken, squared and summed.
Finally they are averaged and the square root taken. The normal
setting is 64, but options are 4,16, 64 and 256 available. The
number of samples controls time response of the instrument in
RMS mode. A small number will result in a fast response but
with greater reading uncertainty. A large number will make the
display update sluggish, but will improve display resolution.
5.4 Logger
The logger feature allows you to sample
the field over an extended time period.
See step 7.
5.5 Serial
This switches on and off the serial access facility. With this mode
on, data can be requested from the instrument via the serial
interface.
5.6 Bar
At the bottom of the main display is a bar graph. This is built
from small horizontal bars that are stacked vertically and fill as
the reading increases. The bar has two modes: firstly, it can be
an indicator of the absolute reading working from the far left to
the far right providing a resolution of 1:128. Alternatively, the bar
can be run from the centre of the bottom line of the
display, moving to the right to indicate positive sign and to the
left to indicate negative. This option switches between the two
modes.
