mode
where
a
decimal
point
is
used
to
separate
units
from
tenths,
i.e.
20.00
.
The
European
format
uses
a
comma,
i.e.
20,00
.

.
Up
to
99
spreadsheet
documents
(each
with
30,000
readings)
can
be
stored
in
this
folder.
7.
When

30,000
readings
can
be
stored.
This
method
continues
for
up

99
documents,
after

another
folder
is

(PMA02)
where
another
99
spreadsheet
documents
can
be
stored.
This
process
continues
in
this
same
fashion
with
folders
PMA03
through
PMA10
(last
allowable
folder).
