There are two log features associated with models 1523/1524, the Demand Log and
the Auto-Log. Both the 1523 and 1524 have a demand log that stores up to 25 read-
ings. The 1524 has an Auto-Log that can store up to 15,000 readings at specied inter-
vals. The Auto-Log feature is affected by the Auto-Off function. If the Auto-Off func-
tion is used and the unit turns off during a logging session, the logging session will be
terminated and the unit will restart with the Auto-Log turned off. It is recommended
that the Auto-Off function be turned off before starting an Auto logging session.
5.1 DEMAND LOG
This feature is used to log and recall up to 25 points. A point is logged using the SAVE
key. Logged data is saved in memory and is retained after the unit is turned off. The
data can be uploaded to a computer using the Send Saved command in the RECALL
Menu, or by remote commands issued through the serial port. Refer to the Digital
Communications Interface section of this manual for more information on the serial
commands.
Each logged data point contains the following data:
Current reading with units of measure
Current statistics, including maximum, minimum, average, and standard
deviation.
User selected secondary readings, including units.
Time stamp including year, month, day, hour, minute and second (model 1524
only).
5.2 AUTO-LOG
This feature is used to log and store up to 15,000 points. A point is logged on a prede-
termined frequency based on the LOG Menu settings. Logged data is saved in memory
and is retained after the unit is turned off. The data can be uploaded to a computer
using the Send Logs command in the RECALL Menu, or by remote commands issued
through the serial port. Refer to the Digital Communications Interface section for more
information on the serial commands.
The LOG key allows the user to access the LOG setup menu. The Log menu allows
the user to setup the data collection interval, start a log with a specied Tag ID, see the
available memory, and START or STOP a logging session. The RECALL menu allows
the user to delete, or send log data out the serial port.
Refer to the Digital Communications Interface section for information on changing
Tag IDs or using the computer interface.
