Saving the reading buffer to a USB flash drive
After the measurements are complete, you can save the reading buffer data to a USB flash drive.
To save the reading buffer data to a USB flash drive:
1. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port.
2. Press the
STORE
key and use the navigation wheel to select
SAVE
. Then select
USB1
.
3. Select one of the following file formats:
CSV
XML
4. Use the navigation wheel to select the reading buffer.
5. Use the navigation wheel to change the file name.
6. Press the navigation wheel or the
ENTER
key to save the file.
7. Press the
EXIT (LOCAL)
key to return to the main menu.
Recalling readings
To recall the data stored in a reading buffer from the virtual front panel:
1. Press the
RECALL
key.
2. Select
DATA
or
STATISTICS
.
3. Select the buffer to display: CHANA-BUFF1 or CHANB-BUFF2. The data or statistics are
displayed.
If data is being recalled, the reading display is on the top left, and the buffer location number
is on the right. The source values are on the lower left side of the display (if enabled); the
timestamp (if used) is on the lower right side.
If statistics are being recalled, the information includes values for MEAN, STD DEV, SAMPLE
SIZE, MINIMUM, MAXIMUM, and PK-PK.
The source display field identifies the buffer: SrcA1 (buffer 1), SrcA2 (buffer 2), SrcB1 (buffer
1), SrcB2 (buffer 2).
4. To view data or statistics, turn navigation wheel or use the
CURSOR
keys.
5. To exit from the reading buffer recall screens, press the
EXIT (LOCAL)
key.
The buffer location number indicates the memory location of the source-measure reading. For
example, location #000001 indicates that the displayed source-measure reading is stored at the first
memory location.
If the timestamp is enabled, the first source-measure reading stored in the buffer (#0000001) is
timestamped at 0.000 seconds. Subsequent readings are timestamped relative to when the first
measurement was made. The interval between readings depends on the reading rate.
