    Voltage Recorder Mode. It enables the measured voltage value to be previewed, and stored in the BVR11 internal memory (Figure 3-5). Data is recorded in the Scan ID device memory location. If already used Scan ID is selected a message: "Memory location is already used" will be displayed. The user can decide to keep the same scan ID in which case the previously recorded data will be overwritten.

String voltage measurement When the BVR11 detects voltage values within the range of a user selected string limit values in the Settings menu (Section 3.2.3), the BVR11 automatically enters in the String measurement mode. In this mode, the BVR11 stores measurement results in a special memory location assigned to the String values set of measurements.
