Recording Measurement Data (Data Logging)
The Data Logging function provides you the convenience of 
recording test data for future review or analysis. Since data 
is stored in the nonvolatile memory, the data remains saved 
even when the multimeter is turned OFF or if the battery is 
replaced.
The Data Logging feature collects measurement information 
over a user- specified duration. There are three data logging 
options that can be used to capture measurement data: 
manual ( ), interval ( ), or event ( ). 
• A manual log stores an instance of the measured signal 
each time   is pressed. See page 117.
• An interval log stores a record of the measured signal at 
a user- specified interval. See page 118.
• An event log stores a record of the measured signal each 
time a trigger condition is satisfied. See page 120.
Before starting a recording session, set up the multimeter 
for the measurements to be recorded.
