• The buffer location number is on the right. For example, location #000001 indicates that
the displayed reading is stored at the first memory location.
• The source value is positioned at the lower left side of the display.
• The timestamp is positioned at the lower right side. The first source-measure reading
stored in the buffer (#000001) is time stamped at 00000.000000 seconds. Subsequent
readings are time stamped relative to when the time storage was started. The interval
between readings will depend on the reading rate.
