Logging and Data Transfer
4.1 Introduction
The Surveyor 4a memory logging system comes in several options. The instrument logging
capacity depends on the size of the memory installed. Memory is available in the following sizes:
"Clipboard" memory which allows 12 manually stored scans (up to 300 manually entered
readings), memory which allows approximately 120,000 readings, or memory which allows
approximately 375,000 reading.

If the Surveyor 4a has Clipboard memory, up to 12 scans (with a maximum of 25 parameter
readings per scan) by using the Store function. This feature captures lines of data displayed at the
