Clearing Data 5-1
March 2008
Introduction This chapter explains how to purge the Model DF868’s memory of
various measurement totals and/or files. The Clear Menu, which is
accessed by pressing the
[CLR] key on the keypad, is divided into three
submenus:
• TOTAL - used to reset totalized measurement values
• SITE - used to remove site parameter files from memory
• LOG - used to clear log files from memory.
Note: For detailed information on creating a log file, see Chapter 3,
Logging Data. For detailed information on creating a site file
and for setting up the stopwatch totalizer, see Chapter 1,
Programming Site Data.
For purposes of this discussion it is assumed that the left pane of the
data display screen is active. If the right pane of the data display
screen is active, all of the instructions remain the same, except that
any references to the
[F1]-[F4] keys should be replaced by the [F5]-[F8]
keys.
IMPORTANT: None of the clearing procedures available via the
Clear Menu can be undone. Be very sure that the
exact consequences of a selected option are
thoroughly understood before proceeding.
Refer to Figure A-8 on page A-8, and proceed to the desired section
for detailed instructions. Each submenu may be followed in the
sequence shown or the [↑] and [↓] keys may be used to scroll through
the prompts.
