14 PC Operation
(moisture and temperature indication), every test is automati-
cally preceded by a 3 minute flush period, to allow the moisture
sensor to stabilise and give an accurate reading. Therefore,
a separate flush period is unnecessary, unless a Continuous
Test flush period greater than 3 minutes is required. For the
PML²-W version the moisture and temperature function can
be switched off - refer to Measure Water Content on page 25
for details. Press the Flush button to open the flush valve, and
press the Stop button to close it. The Flush indicator turns a
yellow colour when flushing is in progress.

4.5 Log
The PML² can be operated permanently connected to a computer with the Remote
Device dialogue open. This allows the user to set up a continuously updated trend
graph and list view. As each test is completed, the trend graph and list view are
updated.
However, it is not necessary to keep the Remote Device dialogue open and com-
puter connected after the test has been initiated, although most users will find this
more convenient. This fact is especially useful for the continuous test mode, when
a test sequence might be programmed to take several hours. In this case, pressing
the Transfer Log button (describe below) will transfer the complete result log of
the PML² into the test database.
Transfer Log As explained immediately above, if the PML² has been oper-
ated as a stand alone item, then connecting the computer to the
PML² and pressing the Transfer button will transfer all the test
results into the test database.
The PML² has a memory capacity if approximately 600 tests.
When this memory is full, the earliest of the test records will
be over-written by the new tests.
