Saving Data
The following three methods are available to save data.
• Save data by pressing the SAVE key
• Save data automatically after the completion of a step sweep

Saving Data Using the SAVE Key
Information such as the specified function and range, and the date and time, measured value,
and source value when the SAVE key is pressed are saved. Each time you press SAVE, the
measurement data is added to the same file. However, a new file is created in the following
cases.
• When a setting is changed on the Device Setup screen
• When the function or range is changed
• When the number of save data points exceeds 2000
• When the power is turned off
Auto Save in Step Sweeps
Information such as the specified function and range, the date and time, source value, and
measured value at the completion of each sweep step, and sweep conditions are saved.
Auto Save in Program Sweeps
Calibration target information, information such as the specified function and range, the date
and time, source value, and measured value at the completion of each sweep step, and
sweep conditions are saved as calibration data of field instruments.
The data format is CSV. You can select a comma, semicolon, or tab for the data separator.
In addition, you can select the measured value to be saved, the decimal symbol of the source
value, and the date and time format.
