Data Logging (U1242A)
The data logging function stores the data in non- volatile memory. Thereby, 
the data remains saved when the meter is turned off. Data logging records 
only the value on primary display. Two options of data logging are offered 
— Hand (manual) logging and Interval (automatic) logging functions. 
Table 2 - 8 Functions available for data logging
• In resistance measurement, the meter reads a non-zero value due to the presence of 
test leads resistance. Use the Null function to zero-adjust the effect of test lead 
resistance.
• In DC voltage measurement, the thermal effect will influence the accuracy. Short the 
test leads and press   once the displayed value is stable in order to zero out the 
offset.
