Data Collection

The Recorder is now ready to collect data. Plug the Recorder into a standard power outlet
and it will start recording data based on the settings established in Recorder Setup.
Leave the Recorder plugged in for a few hours or days depending on your application.
When you are ready or the Recorder memory becomes full, disconnect it from the power
outlet and connect it to a PC running Power Log.
Electric utility specialists can also send the Recorder to a utility consumer who can
connect it to their own electric outlet for a specified period. When finished taking data,
the consumer can then send the Recorder back to the electric utility specialist. The
specialist can analyze the collected data with Power Log software.

non-volatile memory.
