3.8.2.4 Setting the Data Mode
There are four methods of storing data to the disk/card:
Instantaneous, Average
,
Peak
and
Valley
.
The
Instantaneous
mode stores only the latest sample to the disk/card and is used if you have one of the
special functions enabled, such as peak reading or moving average that does not need to be averaged. The
Average
mode will average all input data sampled at 8 times per second to the Record Rate being
recorded. Thus, if data is being stored to disk/card once every minute (60 seconds), 480 samples will be
averaged. The
Peak
mode will record the peak or maximum value within the selected Record Rate. The
Valley
mode will record the valley or minimum value within the selected Record Rate.
