Datalogging
Types of Data Recording
Manual Datalogging: Manually log up to 99 readings onto an SD card via push-button press.
Automatic Datalogging: Automatically log data onto an SD memory card where the number of
data points is virtually limited only by the card size. Readings are logged at a rate specified by
the user.
SD Card Information
Insert an SD card (from 1G size up to 16G) into the SD card slot at the bottom of the meter. The
card must be inserted with the front of the card (label side) facing toward the rear of the meter.
If the SD card is being used for the first time it is recommended that the card be formatted and
the logger’s clock set to allow for accurate date/time stamping during datalogging sessions.
Refer to the Setup Mode section for SD card formatting and time/date setting instructions.
European and USA numerical formats differ. The data on the SD card can be formatted for
either format. The meter defaults to USA mode where a decimal point is used to separate units
from tenths, i.e. 20.00. The European format uses a comma, i.e. 20,00. To change this setting,
refer to the Setup Mode section.
Manual Datalogging
In the manual mode the user presses the LOG button to manually log a reading onto the SD card.
1. Set the sampling rate to ‘0’ seconds as described in the Setup Mode section.
2. Press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds and the DATALOGGER icon will appear
on the LCD; the lower portion of the display will show p-n (n = memory position number 1-99).
Note that if PSI is set as the unit of measure it appears as P51 (where a ‘5’ is used as an ‘S’) in
the same area of the LCD where memory locations are shown. This can be disorienting at first.
3. Momentarily press the LOG button to store a reading. The DATALOGGER icon will flash each
time a data point is stored.
4. Use the and buttons to select one of the 99 data memory positions in which to record.
5. To exit the manual datalogging mode, press and hold the LOG button for at least 1.5 seconds.
The DATALOGGER icon will switch off.
