VRAE monitor calculates and stores the  gas readings at a
specified interval.  The user can review these stored readings
or change datalog setup from the programming mode. Users
can also program additional datalog options in  a  PC and
download them to the monitor (see Section 5.0 for details
on how to program additional datalogging options).    Table
4.5 shows the sub-menus for datalog options:
