5.5.2 Manual Data Storage

During the measuring procedure, current readings can be stored manually into the active batch by

pressing OK or by actuating a footswitch. For this option set Data logging mode to “Curr. reading”.

5.5.3 Automatic Data Storage (Auto)

Auto option

In the auto mode, readings will be stored automatically during the measuring procedure as soon as

you press OK. To stop the automatic data storage press OK again. If a footswitch is connected,

readings are stored as long as the footswitch is actuated.

Before starting the automatic data storage make sure the sensor is placed in the correct measuring

position. Make sure to stop the automatic data storage BEFORE the sensor has left the measuring

position. This is to avoid erratic readings to be stored into memory that might occur when putting

the sensor to or lifting it from the sample.

After setting the Data logging option to the Auto option, a Logging rate option will appear. The

logging rate defines the time intervals at which data will be stored into memory (1, 2, 5, 10 or 20

readings per second). For slow measurement scans, a low logging rate should be set, for quick

scanning, the logging rate should be set to a higher rate.

5.5.4 Storing Minimum Reading

In the Minimum option, minimum readings will be stored to the active batch by pressing OK during

measurement or by activating a foot switch.

To set Data logging mode to the MIN option, go to the Configuration submenu and select Data

logging mode. Use arrow keys to select MIN and press OK to confirm. Please note: The minimum

reading can also be stored even after the sensor has been lifted from the sample.

5.5.5 Storing Maximum Reading

In the Maximum option, maximum readings will be stored to the active batch by pressing OK during

measurement or by activating a footswitch.

To set Data logging mode to the MAX option, go to the Configuration submenu and select Data

logging mode. Use arrow keys to select MAX and press OK to confirm.

Important note:

Make sure to put the sensor into the correct measuring position and to press ESC before

storing the Maximum reading into memory.

OK must be pressed BEFORE the sensor is moved from its measuring position.
