The recording field has three buttons:

Record The Record button is used to immediately create a new record and start recording. The new record is placed in memory immediately after the last one. The recording stops when the memory is exhausted, or when the Record button is pressed again. The recording parameters, such as number and types of values recorded…etc. must be adjusted prior to starting the recording.

Timer The Timer button is used to set a time and date to start the recording automatically. This is only allowed when a recording is not already in progress. To set the timer, press the Timer button. Then set the recording date and time, and press the OK button to arm the timer.

Erase The Erase button erases unconditionally all the data that has been recorded in the instrument, making room for new records.

 

The Memory Depth bar provides two indications:

• The percentage of memory already used (indicated by the green bar). The bar is completely grey when the memory is empty and completely green when the memory is full.

• The total memory time, in Days-Hours-Minutes-Seconds. The total memory time is displayed at the right extremity of the scale. It is calculated as a function of the instrument settings, such as log interval, statistics recorded…etc. Therefore it will change dynamically as the settings are modified, to reflect the new overall memory time.
