VIII. ULTIMETER 100 HIGH/LOW MEMORY SYSTEM
The
ULTIMETER
100 keyboard monitors and displays current data from
five different sensors (plus calculated wind chill temperature). It also
maintains nine memory banks for high and low records. The instrument
will be most valuable to you if you understand the nine memory banks:
TODAY'S HIGHS, LOWS, AND RAINFALL
At midnight each night, the
ULTIMETER
100 starts keeping track of
high and low values, and rainfall, for the new day. At any time
during the day, the instrument can tell you what the highest and
lowest values have been, thus far in the day (since midnight).
"TODAY'S" high and low values are automatically maintained, and
cannot be manually altered or reset. If you ever wish to record
highs and lows, or rainfall, starting from a specific time, you may
use the user-resettable "Long Term" high/low memory described
below.
PREVIOUS DAY'S HIGHS, LOWS, AND RAINFALL
Each midnight the instrument moves TODAY'S highs and lows and
rainfall into separate memory, now calling them PREVIOUS DAY'S
values. At any time in the current day, you can retrieve the high and
low values and rainfall for each of the previous seven days -
directly from the keyboard or remotely by phone, modem, or radio
link. PREVIOUS DAY'S values are automatically maintained, and
cannot be manually altered or reset. If you ever wish to record
highs and lows or rainfall starting from a specific time, you may use
the user-resettable "Long Term" high/low memory described below.
LONG TERM HIGHS AND LOWS
The long-term memory bank is extremely flexible. It keeps track of
highest and lowest readings, and accumulated rainfall, since the
last time you reset the stored value. You can individually reset any
high or low value in this memory whenever you wish. For example,
you may wish to keep close watch on a major storm by resetting the
LONG TERM highest wind speed memory, or the LONG TERM
rainfall total just before the storm hits, or even again during the
storm.
There is also a master reset that resets all of the LONG TERM
stored values simultaneously. If you wish to track monthly highs
and lows, just use the master reset at the beginning of each new
month.

IX. DISPLAYING STORED DATA
TO DISPLAY HIGHEST VALUES
To display the highest values of wind speed or temperature for today,
yesterday, and long term:
1. Press the desired data key to display the current value.
2. To display TODAY'S highest value (since midnight), press
once. The display will repeatedly cycle through today's date,
today's high value, and the time at which it occurred.
3. To display PREVIOUS DAY'S highest values (from midnight to
midnight), press
again, repeatedly, to display the values for
each of the LAST SEVEN DAYS. After each press, the display will
repeatedly cycle through: the selected date, that day's high value,
and the time at which it occurred.
4. To display the LONG TERM highest value (since last RESET),
press
a ninth time. The display will repeatedly cycle through:
the date on which the highest value occurred, the highest value
since last reset, and the time at which it occurred. The Long Term
high value is the highest value recorded since you last reset this
memory. The Long Term display is easily recognized by the
flashing
when the date is displayed.
5. Pressing
a tenth time returns the display to TODAY'S
highest value.
TO DISPLAY LOWEST VALUES
1. Press the desired data key to display the current value.
2. To display TODAY'S lowest value (since midnight), press
once. The display will repeatedly cycle through today's date,
today's low value, and the time at which it occurred.
3. To display PREVIOUS DAY'S lowest values (from midnight to
midnight), press
again, repeatedly, to display the values for
each of the LAST SEVEN DAYS. After each press, the display will
repeatedly cycle through: the selected date, that day's low value,
and the time at which it occurred.
4. To display the LONG TERM lowest value (since last RESET),
press
a ninth time. The display will repeatedly cycle through:
the date on which the lowest value occurred, the lowest value since
last reset, and the time at which it occurred. The Long Term low
