button

once; this causes the “P” to disappear from the left side of the display and the value on
its line to begin flashing. Once the flashing begins, you can use the SET 

and LOGGER

buttons to change the flashing value to any number between 1 and 99. Once you have

chosen the storage location, press the REC/ENTER button to save the setting. This causes
the value to stop flashing and the “P” to return.

, press the REC/ENTER button and hold it for at least three

TRANSFERRING
DATA FROM THE 
SD CARD TO A
COMPUTER

After automatic or
manual datalogging of
measurements, remove
the SD card from the
UV254SD and plug it 
into your computer 
either directly (if it has 
an SD card port) or
through an SD card
reader.

Because the files
containing the time-
stamped data logs 
have the extension .xls,
they open in Microsoft’s
Excel application. 
Figures 2 and 3 show
two kinds of Excel
presentations: a 
data-only screen and 
a graphics-only screen.
