The data logged will remain the data logger memory until it is cleared. (See the “Clearing the Data
Logger Memory” section.)
MANUAL DATA LOGGING
Set the data logger sampling rate to zero “0”. (See the “Adjusting Data Logger Sampling Rate”
section.) If desired, clear the data in the data log memory. (See the “Clearing the Data Logger
Memory” section.) Enter the Record Mode by pressing the REC/ENTER button. “REC.” will appear
on display. Each time the SET/LOGGER button is pressed, the reading will be recorded in the data
logger memory. “A” will appear at the top of the display each time a reading is recorded into
memory.
NOTE:
1. If “A” remains at the top of the display, the sampling rate is not set to zero, see the “Adjusting
Data Logger Sampling Rate” section to set the sampling rate to zero.
2. If the display flashes when the SET/LOGGER button is pressed, this indicates that the data
logger memory is full. See the “Exporting the Data Logger Memory” to export the readings that
have been recorded, and/or the “Clearing the Data Logger Memory” section to clear the memory so
that more data may be recorded.
Once the data logger memory is full, the display will flash continuously. See the “Exporting the
Data Logger Memory” to export the readings that have been recorded, and/or the “Clearing the
Data Logger Memory” section to clear the memory so that more data may be recorded.
To exit from the Record Mode, press and hold the REC/ENTER button for 3 seconds. (“REC” will
no longer appear on the display).
The data logged will remain the data log memory until it is cleared. (See the “Clearing the Data Log
Memory” section.)
Displaying the Remaining Data Logger Memory
The data logger will store and retain the readings until they have been cleared. Once the
maximum number of readings (1000) have been recorded in the data logger, it must be cleared in
order to record more data. The balance of the remaining data logger memory may be viewed by
following this procedure.
1.
Turn the meter on by pressing the POWER button.
2. Press and hold the SET/LOGGER button until “ code” appears at the bottom of the
display.
3. Release the SET/LOGGER button. “ 1000” will appear at the top of the display.
4. Press the REC/ENTER button. “ 0 F” will appear at the bottom of the display.
5. Press the SET/LOGGER button until “ CnT” appears at the bottom of the display.
6. With “ CnT” at the bottom of the display, the number that appears at the top of the display
is the remaining data logger memory.
7. When finished viewing, press the HOLD/ESC button to return to the measurement display.
Exporting the Data Logger Memory
The data logger will store and retain the readings until they have been cleared. To export the data
logger memory, accessory item# 4136 is required (See the “Optional Accessories” section).
1.
Attach one end of the computer cable to the “RS-232 OUT” port on the meter and the other
end to the PC.
2. Make certain that “HOLD” and/or “REC” do not appear on the display. -If “HOLD” appears
on the display, press the HOLD/ESC button. (“HOLD” will no longer appear on the display.)
-If “REC” appears on the display, press and hold the REC/ENTER button for 3 seconds.
(“REC” will no longer appear on the display.)
3. Press and hold the FUNCTION/SEND button until “ 232” appears at the bottom of the
display. The meter is now ready to export the data logger memory.
4. Prepare the PC software to receive the data.
5. Once the PC software is ready to receive the data, press the FUNCTION/SEND button.
The display will flash slowly while the data is being exported. The display will flash rapidly once all
of the data has been exported.
6.
Once the data has been exported, press the HOLD/ESC button to return to the
measurement display.
Clearing the Data Logger Memory
The data logger will store and retain the readings until they have been cleared. Once the
maximum number of readings (1000) have been recorded in the data logger, it must be cleared in
order to record more data.
1.
Turn the meter on by pressing the POWER button.
2. Press and hold the SET/LOGGER button until “ code” appears at the bottom of the
display.
3. Release the SET/LOGGER button. “ 1000” will appear at the top of the display.
4. Press the REC/ENTER button. “ 0 F” will appear at the bottom of the display.
5. Press the SET/LOGGER button until “ Clr” appears at the bottom of the display.
6. With “ Clr” appearing at the bottom of the display, the number that appears at the top of
the display is the used data logger memory.
7. Press the FUNCTION/SEND button. “ 0” will appear at the top of the display indicating the
memory will be cleared.
8. Press the REC/ENTER button to confirm and save the selection.
9. Press the HOLD/ESC button to return to the measurement display.
REAL-TIME DATA OUTPUT
The meter features a computer output via 3-pole 3.5 mm plug that will output the current display
readings in real-time. The output is a 16-digit data stream that may be utilized by accessory item#
4136 (See the “Optional Accessories” section) or by user specific applications.
A lead with a 3-pole 3.5 mm jack on one end (plugs into “RS 232 OUT”) and a 9-pin female D-
Subminiature connector on the other end (plugs into the PC’s serial port) will be required to link the
instrument with a PC.
ALL OPERATION DIFFICULTIES
If this meter does not function properly for any reason, replace the battery with a new, high-
quality battery (see the “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery power can occasionally
cause an number of “apparent” operational difficulties. Replacing the battery with a new fresh
battery will solve most difficulties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
An erratic display, faint display, no display, or a battery icon appearing on the display are all
indicators that the battery needs replacement. Remove the battery cover. Remove the exhausted
battery and replace it with a new 9 volt alkaline battery. Replace the battery cover.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
