In
LOG
mode, the meter will take the
average of sixty successive 30-second
measurements taken every 30 minutes and
store the average. A total of ninety-nine
30-minute averaged measurements can
be stored. Every 48 measurements at half
hour intervals (making a 24-hour period),
the meter will store a daily total. Ninety-
nine daily averages and totals can be
stored and are available for download only.
These measurements are not viewable
on the meter’s screen. All measurements
taken in

mode will continue to be
stored, deleting the oldest measurement.
The meter only stores the data when used

that will be overwritten.
