demand log readings and 8,000 autolog readings.

full. Readings are not deleted to make room for new readings.
3. How can I tell when the log memory is full? Full memory is indicated in the
log stats function in the logging menu. You can also program a field in the
lower display to show the autolog memory status.
4. Can I use the Model 1529 for other applications while I am autologging? Yes,
the Model 1529 can be used while logging. However, keep in mind that the
channels that are displayed are also logged. Changing the channels affects the
data that is logged.

Output

1. How do I get data from the Model 1529 to my PC? Data can be transferred to
your PC via an RS-232 interface.
2. Can the Model 1529 be set to simultaneous measurement mode and log to the
serial port? Yes. The Model 1529 makes the measurements simultaneously and
transmits them to the serial port. However, most printers can't print as fast as
the data is logged so it doesn't appear to be simultaneous.

232 port.
