Operating Modes

Select an empty memory slot to save your measurement permanently into the internal memory. If there
is no free slot available, you can also pick a used one and overwrite its data. In case you are going to

overwrite an existing measurement, the screen from figure 5.10 appears to confirm your decision.

If you really want to overwrite the existing measurement push the 

 button. The measurement is

now saved into the memory of your device and can be reopened at later times.

If you do not want to overwrite an existing measurement push the  

  button to get back to the

memory slot selection.

After   the   measurement   has   been   saved   successfully   you   will   be   redirected   to   the   graphical

representation, as shown in figure 5.8 on page 25.

Push the 

 button to leave this screen and go back to the main menu.
