On the bottom of the display appears present time and date. To modify them

see section 4.2.1 Global Configuration Menu.

To accede to any of the different fields of the initial screen of the LOGGER function,

turn the rotary selector [9] until it is activated (it appears shadowed) and next press it.

First of all you must select the logger on which you want to perform any

function: turn the rotary selector until the LOGGER NUMBER field is shadowed and
press it. Then turning the rotary selector, select the desired logger (from 0 to 54) and
finally press it again to validate. The acquisition date appears under the logger number
(only if you have taken measurements on this logger).

To carry out a logger acquisition you must select the MEASURE function, for this

purpose turn the rotary selector [9] and when this field appears shadowed press it, in this
way you will accede to the logger. Next press again the rotary selector [9] in order that the
PROMAX-10 

Premium

 makes all the measurements defined in the LOGGER

configuration menu over all the active channels of the channel plan (see Edit Channel
Plan
 function at section 4.2.1 Global configuration menu).

IMPORTANT

The processing of channels as analogue or digital and the parameters to make
the measures (the frequency of the audio carrier for the analogue channels and
the frequency offset for the noise measure of the digital channels C/N ratio) will
correspond with the configuration of the equipment at the time of carrying out the
measurement.

To return to the initial menu of the LOGGER function press the LOGGER key.

To check the measurements stored in a specific logger select the VIEW option:

The first line shows the channel plan (CCIR in the

example), the audio carrier offset (5.50 MHz), the audio
demodulation (FM) and the units of measurement (dBµV).
The second line shows the logger number (53 in the
attached figure) and the headings of the measurements
(V,  V/A and C/N). The measurements taken are
shown in the following format: first column shows the
channel, the D indication on its right means it has been defined as digital (see Edit
Channel Plan
 function at section 4.2.1 Global configuration menu), the second column
shows the level (analogue channels) or the channel power (digital channels), the third
the V/A ratio (analogue channels) an the fourth the C/N ratio (analogue channels) or
MER (digital channels). Turning the rotary selector [9] you can see the rest of channels.

The time and date when measurements were taken appear at the end of the list

of measurements, in the following order: hour:minute:second and month:day:year. To
return to the initial menu of the LOGGER FUNCTION press LOGGER key.

To print the stored measurement select the PRINT field, previously consult

section 4.3 Connecting to a computer or a printer.
