the Vacuum Level measurement Function
and then the Pulsator Ratio Function is
selected, the Pulsator Ratio function will
begin in the Continue mode.
All measurement Functions have the Hold
mode capability.
Store/Recall
The Store/Recall function allows for the
storage of screen data within the Digimet
3000’s memory, and for the recall to the
Digimet display, printing to the Digimet
Printer or uploading to a computer.
Store
The Store function of the Digimet 3000
allows a measurement set to be stored for
later viewing (recall) or uploading (to a
computer) or printing (to the Digimet
Printer). A measurement set contains all
measurement parameters of the Function
being stored plus a label of up to 16
characters or if no label is inputted a timer-
stamp will be associated with the data.
This data is stored into dedicated storage
slots (selected by the user) and remains in
storage even if the unit is turned off and
back on.
Each measurement Function contains a
maximum number of measurement sets
that can be stored, and each slot is
numbered. This means that storage space
reserved for a particular Function cannot
be used by any other Function.
The following storage is provided:

Vacuum Level 10
Pulsator Ratio 60
M/R Ratio 30
Pulsation Electronic 5
Graph Storage 5
Some measurements require a minimum
start-up time before data is displayed (see
section titled MEASUREMENT
FUNCTIONS). This is generally
approximately two or three seconds,
depending on the measurement. If the
required start-up time has not elapsed, the
Store option will not be available, it is
surrounded by < > on the display screen.
If the unit is in the Hold mode the held data
will be stored. Otherwise, the data that is
current at the time Store is selected will be
stored.
When the Store screen appears, choose the
storage slot number where the data is to be
stored. An empty slot has neither a timer-
stamp or a label next to it. The next screen
will allow a label to be attached to the item
being stored. The top of the screen will
indicate “Label Slot 01”. The 01 would
change depending on the number of the slot.
Below this, there will be 16 hyphens
indicating 16 available characters for the
label. The cursor will be all the way to the left
under the first character. Choose characters
for the label by using the up and down arrow
key on the keypad. The up arrow key will
start with A,B,C,D and so on through some
symbols and numbers. The down arrow key
starts with the (space),#,0,1,2 and so on.
Once the character is chosen, press the
Enter key to advance to the next character.
When done with the label press the Menu
key to Save. If the Menu key is pressed
without selecting any characters for a label, a
timer stamp will be associated with the data
stored. This timer-stamp is described in the
section Timer-Stamp. Once the item is
saved, the Option Menu will re-appear.

This option appears in all three of the
pneumatic functions in the Function Option
Menus. The time period for graph length is
