17.2 Storing Event Data
Event history data can be displayed during a measurement and after it has
been stopped. However, how and when measurement data is stored in a data
file depends on the
meter Auto-Store
preference, or the
Run Mode
selected
in the measurement setup file. If you haven’t configured these settings to auto
store, the data has not been stored to memory. To manually store a data file
after a measurement is stopped, press the
7
(STOP/STORE) button.

17.2.1 Using (Continuous) Daily Auto-Store With Event History
When using the Daily Auto Store feature of the Continuous Run Mode, longer
events can affect the auto-store period in the following ways:
When using 5-, 2-, or 1-minute Daily Auto-Store settings, the 831C strictly
observes the Time and Auto-Store period you select to fulfill the event logging
function.
For example, when a sound event persists across an Auto-Store boundary, the
831C will store and begin a new data file, which will contain the remainder of
the event data.
However, when a sound event persists across the Auto Store boundary when
using longer Daily Auto-Store periods (10 min+), the 831C waits up to 1 minute
to allow an in-progress event to end before storing the file.
17.3 Viewing Event History Data on the Events Tab
From the Live Tab, press the top-right softkey (
//*
) until the Events tab
displays.
After the first time interval has passed, data displays on the Event
History tab in single values.
The Events tab
can display multiple data pages just like the Live or Overall
screens, depending on the firmware options enabled and the setup used. Use
the up and down (

) buttons to navigate through different pages on
the Event History Tab. For more information, see
