Select one of the following options from the
Data Storage
drop-down menu:
• Internal

reaches 10 MB, the 831C stops automatically. If the remaining unsaved data is
less than 800 kB, press

to save it. Before you begin another
measurement, download all internal data to an external drive or PC by using
the Data File Manager or G4 LD Utility.
• USB
With this option, data files saved manually (and by the meter’s auto-store
preference) save to the inserted USB drive. If there’s no USB drive available,
the
USB not available icon
displays in the top status bar, and data files
save to the 831C internal memory.
• USB Backup
With this option, data files save to both the 831C internal memory and the
inserted USB drive as a backup copy. If the internal memory becomes full,
data files save to the USB drive.
