3.2 Storage capacity in the "3100i"
The storage capacity of the "3100i" is dependent on memory size.
Three sizes of memory can be supplied: 64k, 576k or 1088k.
Every value stored uses two bytes, making it easy to calculate available
recording time.
(Note that units without memory can only be used in on-line applications.)
An example: having 64k memory you want to measure four channels 10 times
every minute. The interval is then 6 seconds.
The formula will be: 6*64 000/2*4=48 000 seconds (or more than 13 hours).
The internal memory of the "3100i" will only store one recording at a time.
Starting a new recording will erase the previous one. Recordings have to be
transferred to your computer before loading new parameters or starting new
measurements.
There is no limit to the number of times the same recording can be transferred
to the computer.
Measurement data will also not be lost if the internal batteries run down. A
backup lithium battery will retain data for more than 10 years.
Rotating (or endless) memory is described in the program manual.
