Data Logging - Agilent Technologies 34410A User Manual

Data Logging

The Data Logger function makes the multimeter a programmable tool for
taking and storing a series of timed measurement readings. This feature
can be used in combination with any primary measurement function. The
readings are stored in non–volatile memory, and can be accessed from the
front panel or remote interface.
To customize a data logging event, the multimeter allows you to set the
following parameters: START DELAY, INTERVAL, TIME/EVENT (DURATION or COUNT).
• START DELAY is the delay time, settable from 0 to 3600 seconds, from
• INTERVAL is the time, settable from 0 to 3600 seconds, between
• TIME/EVENT is the total duration of the data logging event. You may
