Meter Operation
The ON switch turns the meter/
datalogger on and off. When the meter is
turned on, it will display the battery sta-
tus for 3 seconds. For the next 3 seconds,
it will display how much logger memory
has been used and, if the logger was ena-
bled in the software, whether the GPS signal was found. If
a GPS signal is found, latitude and longitude data will be
included in the data file. The screen will then display the
most recently used MODE screen.

-
up screens with datalogger
enabled: left screen indicates GPS signal was found.
If you are using GPS, but the meter doesn
’
t find the GPS
signal when powering up, the meter will
not
search for the
GPS signal when taking readings. Turn the meter off and
on so it can look for the GPS signal. Once the signal is
found, GPS information will be included in the data file
until the signal is lost or the GPS unit is disconnected
from the meter.
Note: If the data logger is disabled (see "Meter Settings",
p. 16), the meter will not seek the GPS signal when it is
powered up. It will, instead, proceed immediately to the
most recently used mode (see MODE button, p. 8) screen.
