How can I acquire data contin-
uously starting on 1/4/2012,
daily from 9:
00 to 17:00, for
one month?
Set as follows:

Is it possible to measure on 20
channels using two synchro-
nized HiLoggers?
Measurement start can be synchro-
nized using an external trigger.
Sa
mpling can
not be synchronized.

What should I do about zero
offset when the input is short-
ed?
Execute zero adjustment to com-
pensate for offset w
hen the in
puts
are shorted.

ment" (p.35)
Even though a signal is only in-
put on CH1, why do similar
waveforms appear on unused
cha
nnels?
An open-circuit input terminal can be
affected by signals on other chan-
nels. By closing the input terminal
ci
rcuit, normal measurement is pos-
sible. If this is impractical, disable
unused measu
rement channels, or
short the + and - terminals together.
How to display numerical data
values?
Press WAVE/DATA repeatedly to
cycle through the Waveform (only),
Waveform + Numerical Values, and
Numerical Values (only) displays.
Numerical values can be displayed
i
n
a large font on the enlarged nu-
merical display.
Numerical values at specific loca-
tions can be displayed using A/B
cursors.

What happens to pulse inte-
gration when there are more
than one mil
lion pulses?
The counter saturates at
1,073,741,823 counts. If you expect
to exceed this count, we recommend
measuring with the Integration Mode
(
[Count]) set to Instantaneous
(
[Inst]), and summing later with a
spreadsheet program.
