2.8.3 TIME BASE

The [Time Base] option list defines the stripchart x-axis display interval. The stripchart plots an average
of readings obtained during the elapsed time between reports. Stripchart resolution is 1 data point per
pixel. There are approximately 100 on the short strip-chart plot and approximately 200 on the full screen
stripchart plot. Five pixel reports occur between major stripchart divisions.
NOTE: The stripchart display identifies the "real time" when the computer records the most
recent graduation. You can time-stamp any graduation by counting back in graduation
intervals. The default interval setting is 1 second.

THE DATALOGGER SETUP MENU

This menu becomes available after picking Meter Type and Measurement Channel. The integral Data-
logger records data for eventual display on a Graphics Screen, or for connection to an RS-232 com-
patible external device (printer, computer, network, etc.). Use Datalogger Setup to select data items
and real-time events for datalogger reports.
You can also set the logging interval, operating mode and screen format. The Datalogger Setup menu
allows you to choose time interval-based data categories or event-based status alarms, and to specify
the interval between data reports.
View Datalogger reports on the display screen or transmit them via the RS-232 Serial Port to external
printers and computers. Note that a single-channel meter uses a compression algorithm to maximize
data storage. This disables back scrolling of datalogger reports.
