When finished with scanning and storing, or if the limit of the memory is
reached, the data in the non-volatile memory can be downloaded through the
serial port located on the right side of the data reader.  A serial cable must
connect the reader to a computer with upload capabilities.  The data is
transferred by depressing the 

D/L

 button.  If the reader is holding a valid

reading, and the green LED is lit, hold down the 

D/L

 button for approximately

two seconds.  This is to protect against inadvertent clearing of the last reading if
it has not been stored.

To clear the non-volatile memory, power down the data reader then, while
pressing both the 

STORE

 and 

D/L

 buttons, power up the reader.  Hold down

both buttons until the display indicates “

#001

” on the memory counter.  This

procedure takes several seconds.

The display is a Liquid Crystal Display with two rows of 16 characters.
Examples of the display are shown below in Figure 1.  When a valid reading is
made, the diagnostic data Hex code is first displayed.  Next “

XX%ALM

” is

shown, where XX% is the percent to alarm of the last sample, then “

#YYY

where YYY is the next available non-volatile memory location.  When the
battery runs low, a low battery message is displayed.
