5.6 Data logging
At most one hundred files (F00-F99, one group as one file) can be stored inside the gauge. By
simply pressing the key after a new measurement finishes-the screen showing the “AVE” icon, the
measured hardness/strength group values will be saved to memory. The new saved file is appended as
the last file of the memory. This function provides the user with the ability to view/delete a file/group
previously saved in memory.

To view the memory data, follow the steps:
1)
Press the key to activate the data logging function. The memory icon will appear. It will display
the current file name, the test parameter of the group data and the mean value of the group. If there
is no data in the memory, it will display: <E04>, which means no memory data, and then return
back.
2)
Use the
key and the
key to select the desired file to view.

5.6.2 Deleting selected file/Group
The user may require deleting a file from the instrument memory. The procedure is outlined in
