Section 5 – Data Storage And Access
Sample data can be stored on standard SD card media (a 32 GB card is provided with the
instrument). Data is saved to the SD card automatically in ON mode and SAMPLE mode
at a rate of one sample per second when AUTO SAVE is enabled (this is the default status
on power up).
“SAVE” will be displayed in the lower left corner of the display in ON and SAMPLE modes
indicating that the AUTO SAVE feature is active. AUTO SAVE mode can be disabled by
pressing the SAVE button in any mode. When disabled, “SAVE” will NOT appear on the
display in ON and SAMPLE modes.
Leaving the instrument in AUTO SAVE mode is the surest way to ensure data storage is
completed. The trade-off is the potential for storing long strings of unnecessary data every
second in ON mode. For this reason the option is provided to disable AUTO SAVE when
the instrument is idle and data storage is known to be unnecessary.
5.1 FILES MENU
Data is stored in user created files. The user must create a file for storage and then select
the desired file as the data location for future data collection. All file management is
executed from the FILES menu as detailed below.
File management is accessed from the MAIN
MENU by selecting FILES and then pressing the
RIGHT ARROW
button to open the FILES sub-
menu shown on the right. Highlight the desired
option using the
DOWN and UP
ARROW buttons
and select the desired option using the
RIGHT
ARROW
button. FILES options are shown below.
