Application
A
Interval
Select 'Use Fixed Interval' to adjust the intervals and set the logging frequency.
Select 'Use Multi Interval Table' and click on ‘Multi Interval’ to set up to 12 custom, multiple
logging frequencies.
Note
: The hour, minute, second, and number of iterations per interval must be specified.
Each interval MUST have an iteration except the last iteration which must be set to zero.
This tells the program that the logger will continue at the last iteration rate.

Logger Options
(24 Hour Time)
Check 'Use Start Time' to select the desired logging start time (24-hour format).

: The logger will not start until it reaches the custom start time even if the time has
already passed. E.g., if the current time is 13:01 and the start time is set to 13:00, the
logger will not start logging data until 13:00 the
next day
. The status will read
Log Pending
until the custom start time is reached.
Select 'Wrap on Memory Full (Overwrite Data)' to overwrite the logger memory when
logger memory is full.

retrieved prior to battery failure.
