Measure Data Buffers menu
From this screen you can save, resize, and clear buffers. You also can set buffer fill mode and
statistics functions.
Set the maximum number of readings the buffer can store (2 to 2,500). Note

cleared.
Select Always to have the buffer fill continuously, overwriting old data when
the buffer is filled.
Select Next to have the buffer stop collecting data when it is filled (no data is
overwritten).
Select Never to have the buffer stop collecting data.
Select statistics to apply to the readings in the buffer. Available statistics:
ï‚§ Minimum: Minimum value

ï‚§ Mean: Average
ï‚§ Std Dev: Standard deviation
Select whether to apply statistics calculations to current or voltage readings.
