to.a.maximum.of.40.characters.
Record­interval:­Set.the.desired.recording.time.interval.between.data.points..The.shortest.interval.allowed.is.one.minute;.
the.longest.interval.allowed.is.4.hours.and.15.minutes.
Action­when­full:­Click.on.the.DOWN.arrow.to.select.either.STOP.or.ROLL-OVER..Selecting.Stop.will.end.the.recording.
when.the.Logger.memory.reaches.its.limit.(2048.records)..Selecting.Roll-Over.tells.the.Logger.to.begin.overwriting.the.
oldest.records.when.memory.limit.is.reached..It.will.maintain.only.the.most.recent.2048.records.on.an.continuous.basis.
Start­time­&­date:.Delays.the.start.of.the.mission.so.that.the.Logger.can.be.in.position.when.the.first.record.is.taken..Use.

THE­LOWER­LIMIT.
Battery­life­remaining:­This.indicates.an.estimated.battery.life.remaining.based.on.a.lifetime.reading.total.of.1,000,000..
Actual.battery.life.varies.depending.on.the.frequency.of.record.intervals.and.the.ambient.temperature.
Launch­button:­Begins.a.new.mission.with.new.settings..A.message.displays.indicating.that.the.tag.has.been.successfully.
