common spreadsheet program (i.e. Excel
, Quattro Pro
,
Lotus123
) for further reporting requirements.
Using The Data Logger

This will prove to be a valuable reporting tool for inspection
purposes. It will increase efficiency by reducing the time it takes to
manually record the measurements during the inspection process.
The MX-5 DL can then be connected to a computer or serial printer
to save and print the results of the inspection.
The MX-5 DL has a storage capacity of 1000 measurements .
The MX-5 DL has 10 files consisting of 100 sequential storage
locations in each file. The procedure for using the data logger is
outlined in the following steps:
1) Press ON/OFF key to power up the MX-5 DL.
2) Press the MEM key to activate the data logger.
