The PCE-VM 40 also offers you the possibility of saving measurements at pre-set time intervals. The time
intervals are to be entered in seconds, with a minimum of 5 seconds.
The time interval recording can also be combined with the status change recording (“Event and time
con
trol”).
After determining the recording settings, you will be asked to enter the name of the data record.
The record name identifies a block of related measurements with the same saved settings. Here you can
enter, for example, the measurement location.
With the arrow keys, you can enter up to 20 upper case characters and digits. The last entered name
appears as the default name.
To exit the menu, press OK. After defining all the recording settings, you can activate the keypad lock by
pressing OK, to ensure that no unintended interference occurs. You can also start recording without using
the keypad lock by pressing F3.
The instrument will now display “Recording started”. Five seconds later, the evaluation of the recording
trigger (event or time interval) will begin. The currently active recording can be seen in the measurement
value display as a flash
ing text “Rec.#xxx”, where xxx is the number of the previously saved
measurements.
During recording, the menu cannot be opened. If you press the menu button F3, you will be asked
whether you wish to stop recording. The same will happen if you press OK/ON-OFF.
After reaching the memory end, the PCE-VM 40
will display the error message “Memory full”.
