Built-in Datalogger
The meter can store approx. 16,000 readings in the built-in datalogger. Readings are
grouped in ‘SETS’. Each recording session constitutes a ‘SET’. Recording a new set does
not erase a previously recorded set.
The readings remain in the datalogger memory even when power to the tester is off (as
long as the batteries are fresh). Readings can be transferred, at a later time, to a PC. Use
the meter’s RECORD button to operate the meter’s Datalogger in the following ways:
a. Clearing Datalogger memory
1. Press and hold the RECORD button while turning the meter on.
2. Release the RECORD button when
r
(clear) appears on the display. The entire
datalogger memory will now be erased.
b. Capturing one data point
Press the RECORD button for one second to capture one reading. The REC display
icon will briefly appear at the top of the LCD and the large digits will flash the data point
number (the recorded measurements are numbered). Each reading captured by this
method is considered a Set.
c. Capturing a continuous stream of data points
1. Press and hold the RECORD button for approx. 3 seconds until a long tone is heard.
The REC display icon will appear and remain on the display for as long as the
recording session lasts.
2. To stop recording, press the RECORD button again. The REC indicator will switch
off. Each group of readings captured in this manner is considered a Set.
3. Readings will be taken every 2 seconds (default sampling time). To change the
sampling time, refer to the section ‘Datalogger Software Mode’.
The following sections cover meter-to-PC data downloading & other PC interface features.
