6.2 Store as soon as Measurement is Stable (Auto-Memory Function)
71
6
This function automatically stores the value measured each time the probes contact the sample with
internal triggering. When the specified number of values has been acquired, auto-storage operation
stops.
Statistical calculations are applied to the stored data, with results output to the screen or printer (RS-
232C).
See: "6.3 Performing Statistical Calculations on Measured Values" (p. 74)
"Chapter 7 Printing" (p. 79)
Data storage and printing can be automatically controlled by the Auto-Memory function.
The Auto-Memory function is disabled by default.
Enable the Auto-Memory function before setting the number of values to store.
Enabling the Auto-Memory function affects other functions as follows:
• Statistical calculation is forced on.
• The voltage level monitor function is forced off (although the setting itself is not set to OFF, the function is
actually disabled).
• The trigger source setting is forced to internal (INT).
When the trigger source is set to external (EXT), the Auto-Memory function is disabled by force.
Deleting Stored Data
Stored data is automatically erased at the following times:

Measure
Beeper notifies when the specified number of values is stored.
• when the memory function setting (including auto-mem-
ory) is changed (p. 142)
• when the range is changed (p. 31)
• when changing comparator settings (p. 34)
• when the power is turned off
• when printing the statistical calculations (p. 82)
• when the DUT is changed (p. 28)
• upon system reset (p. 67)
• upon setting the auto-memory number of values to store
(p. 73)
