Record Measurement Data

For the Scan function, the behavior of the Record key is dependent on the Auto
Recording setting in the Test Setup menu. If set to ON, the Product automatically records
the scan data when the scan is started. If set to OFF, the user must manually push
to record scan data to file after the scan is started.
Each time a scan or a DMM measurement is recorded, a new data folder is made with a
unique timestamp so that it can be easily found and managed (see "Open a Data File on a
PC"). Data files made from a scan are saved in the scan folder and the DMM data files
are saved in the DMM folder.

Scans can be completed without recording the results. In this scenario, the
data is saved to temporary memory and will be overwritten the next time a
scan is started or if the temporary memory becomes full (approximately
60,000 readings).
Auto Recording is associated only with the Scan/Monitor function and does
not work with the DMM function. To record a DMM measurement, push
 to start recording DMM data regardless of the Auto Recording
setting in the Test Setup menu.
Scan data or DMM data stored directly to the USB drive is not visible to
the user through the Memory menu. However, the Memory menu shows the
user how much memory is available on the USB drive. To manage the scan
data files on the USB drive, connect the USB drive to a PC and open the
folder named "Scan Data" or "DMM Data".
