DATA LOGGING MODE

If you are new to data logging, be aware that-regardless of the parameter to be

recorded-several steps must precede and follow actual data collection. They include:

1. Installing a Windows7/8/VISTA/XP-compatible driver for the VOC08 data logging

program on the supplied mini-disc, followed by installation of the program

2. Selecting a sampling time and logging mode appropriate for the application.

This is called "configuring" the instrument.

3. Deploying the instrument where the levels of the parameter over time are of particular

interest. If logging is to last more than a few hours, the meter should be switched from

battery power to AC power to avoid having the batteries discharge before logging is

complete.

4. Starting logging, allowing the unattended instrument to collect hundreds or thousands

of data points, and then stopping logging

5. Downloading the logs to a PC and saving them there

6. Displaying, printing or manipulating the logs in tabular or graphic form, to facilitate

trending, analysis and detection of unexpected excursions
