Erasing stored measurement datasets
You can erase the stored measurement datsets altogether if you do no
longer need them.
Erasing all measurement datsets is done in the menu, Configuration /
System / Measured value memory / Delete.
Note
Erasing individual datasets is not possible. If all memory locations are
occupied, however, it is possible to overwrite the oldest dataset at a
time. A security prompt appears before a dataset is overwritten.

Transmitting data (RS 232 interface)
Via the RS 232 interface, you can transmit data to a PC or an external
printer.
The data can be transmitted to a PC, for example, with the aid of a so-
called terminal program.
Generally, a terminal program serves to establish a connection to a
device on a data interface and to communicate with the device via a
console on the display. A terminal program usually offers the possibility
to save the contents of the console in a text file or print it. If the terminal
program is connected to the meter, it can receive data from the meter
and display it on the console.
Terminal programs are available for different operating systems by
different manufacturers. Windows (version 95 to XP) contains the
"HyperTerminal" terminal program. It is in the program menu under
Accessories.
For more detailed information please refer to the user information of the
terminal program.
The settings required for the use of the "HyperTerminal" program are
given in section 4.7.1.
Note
When using the "HyperTerminal" program you can load the
transmission data automatically using the *.ht file provided on the CD.
