Chapter 2 Configuration
Set the Average Intervals for the Base, Extended1, and Extended 2 and their Storage Times.
001M data is usually setup on the Base Average. The data logger will average instantaneous
readings over the Base Avg Interval, and then those base intervals are used to build the two
extended intervals. To change the interval click the down arrow and select another interval type
from the drop down list.
The Extended Average 1 is usually used for auxiliary data, the most common being 005M or
015M data. If the Base Average Interval is 1 minute, then the first extended average may be an
auxiliary, hourly, or daily interval type (of which have to be divisible by 60 and a multiplier of
the base). To change the interval click the down arrow and select another interval type from the
drop down list.
The Extended Average 2 is usually used for hourly data, but can be used for daily data as
Average 1 is set to hourly data. Average 2 must use a higher interval type than Average 1, and
must be a multiplier of the base average. To change the interval click the down arrow and select
another interval type from the drop down list.
Storage Time for all three intervals is the length of time the 8816 or 8832 data logger will store
the averages (not used/visible for the 8872). Each interval has its own storage time setting
which can be set between 0 to 999. Click the down arrow and select from the from down list the
time span of: S = seconds, M = minutes, H = hours, D = days.
