Power Options and Battery Level
Operation time with alkaline batteries is typically
16 hours. The meter may be operated with a 6
or 9VDC, 200mA regulated or unregulated
power adapter with a 2.1mm barrel plug,
(positive center). Note that if the battery level
drops below the level required for the internal
processor, the display will be blank; however,
the backlight of the display may still be
illuminated. If this occurs, replace the batteries.
Battery Level: Each missing bar represents a
drop of approximately 20% of battery’s usable
capacity.
Data Recording / USB
With the data recording function, measurements may
be recorded for later upload to a PC/Laptop. When
“Record” is pressed, the current displayed
measurement is saved into non-volatile memory and
a record number is momentary displayed. Up to 9,999
records or record sets may be saved. The software
application AlphaApp provides the user with the
ability to retrieve recorded data and delete saved
data. The AlphaApp application also allows the option
of configuring the meter to record a stream of
measurements at a specified interval. When
configured to record a stream of measurements,
pressing "Record" turns on the record function
indicated by the display of the record set number. In
this mode measurements are continually saved at the
configured interval until "Record" is pressed a second
time, at which time the recording stops and the set
number is no longer displayed. When attached to a
PC/Laptop, the AlphaApp application also allows for
the real-time streaming of the meter’s measurements.
