Options 

 

Working directory 
 

The selection of the working directory that is going to be the default one for opening and saving tables 
and files.  

 

Output format 

Define the file format of the saved table.  

 

Date format 

Define the date format that is going to be shown in the table with the results of the test. 
 

Interval 

Its purpose is selection of time interval for reading results from RMO30T to PC. At the expiration of this 
interval the last measured result from RMO30T to PC will be written, and this process will repeat at the 
expiration of the next period. 
 

 

 
Press function “Interval”. The window, as shown bellow, will be opened. 

 

 

 

Possible work ratings are “AUTO” and “MANUAL”.

 

 

By selecting “AUTO” rating and time interval, the last measured result will be transferred from RMO30T 
to PC at the chosen time intervals.

 

 

By selecting “MANUAL” rating, the last measured result will be transferred from RMO30T to PC each 
time when the button 

 is pressed.
