Function
Memory free
e.g.: Memory free : 38.4 KB
To output the memory : <PMEM>
To clear the memory : <CMEM>
Using the keypad the contents of the measured value memory can only be out-
put to the serial interface as a complete whole. Only by software can certain
sections of the memory be specified for output - either by stipulating the start
time and end time or by selecting the numbers defining the measuring opera-
tions in question. With each output from the internal memory any one of the
three output formats may be used “list”, “columns”, or “table”.
With external SD-cards (see 12.5.2) the device itself can only read out in table
mode the measured data contained in the file most recently used. The LED in
the end of the handle lights up continuously for the duration of memory output.
The most sensible approach is to remove the memory card and copy the files
via a USB card reader directly onto the PC. These can then be imported either
into MS-Excel or into Win-Control (as of V.4.8.1).
During memory output the
Remaining output function
continuously updates and
displays in KB the amount still to be output.

Remaining output : 12.5 KB
12.5.8 Scanning configuration
In the following menu, reached by pressing <►F>,
the general conditions for measuring point scans
can be set in even greater detail.
12.5.8.1 Cycle with saving to memory activated
To ensure that measured values are saved and output to the interface on a cyclic
basis use the
Cycle
function. Saving per cycle, i.e. cyclic recording of data to
the memory, is automatically activated after each reinitialization but can be de-
activated as and when required. Pressing <MIN> sets the highest recording
speed. The minimum cycle then displayed represents the highest measuring
rate (10 mops) and continuous saving (see 12.5.8.4).
Enter the cycle in the format ´hh:mm:ss´ see 9.5: Cycle: 00:15:00
To clear the cycle and end the current scan press <CLR>
Minimum cycle with 10 mops,
in accordance with channel number : <MIN>

12.5.8.2 Scanning mode
For automatic data logger operation and / or measured value scanning by the
computer there are 4 scan modes available :
Normal : Internal cycle or cyclic scan by the computer
