How do I store readings into the buffer?
Readings are automatically stored into default buffer 1 (
defbuffer1
).
To store readings into a different buffer, you can select another buffer from the buffer indicator on the
home screen.
Located to the right of the instrument active state indicator arrows, this indicator shows the name of
the active reading buffer. Select the indicator to open a menu of available buffers. Select a buffer
name in the list to make it the active reading buffer. The name of the new active reading buffer is
updated in the indicator bar.
The green bar next to the buffer name indicates how full the buffer is.
