recorded at the predefined time intervals. The meter will continue to record measurements at
the predefined time intervals until the measurement mode is exited. Measurements are
continuously updated on the display and the Stabilizing and Ready icons specify the
measurement value stability.
Depending on the meter communication settings in the
Instrument Settings
setup menu, the
recorded measurement values will be exported to the data log, printer and/or computer.
