3.6.2 Log period
The Log Period is the specified length of time between writing the calculated
accumulated volume to record. The user may record volumes as often as every
minute and as seldom as every hour. The default is 60 minutes. The G4 EX can
normally store 960 log periods (40 days x 24 logs). A five minute log period will
consume available memory in eight days.

When the G4 EX is initially powered up, the calculation method must be set. The
user has the option of setting the calculation method to AGA-3 1985, AGA-3 1992,
AGA-7 or ISO-5167. Once the calculation type has been determined, the user
may toggle specific factors on or off depending upon their availability (see Table
3–1).
