THE DATALOGGER CONTROL MENU

The [Datalogger Setup] menu in the Channel Setup menu provides the Datalogger controls
for the meter's measurement channels. It allows you to enable usage, select data items, alarm
events, a logging interval, and a destination for your Datalogger reports. While the [Datalog-
ger Setup] menu is measurement channel specific, this [Datalogger Control] menu
provides global control functions. This means that the settings made here apply to all meas-
urement channels, meter types, operating modes, etc. This is possible because the meter
stores logged data in a single file. This is significant for dual-channel systems, since the log-
ged data from both channels are combined. Therefore, select the Site ID item for each chan-
nel to be logged.
Datalogger Control allows you to select a [Circular Memory] mode that will over-write the
oldest Datalogger data automatically when the Datalogger memory becomes full. Note that
due to the data compression scheme employed, this is only available for dual-channel systems.
The [Est Log Time Left] menu view-only menu cell shows an estimate of the hours and min-
utes of logging time remaining. This only applies to non-circular datalogging. Selecting Circu-
lar memory blanks this field. For convenience, the Display Datalogger command is essentially
a duplicate of the menu cell in Datalogger Setup. It sends Datalogger data to the graphic
screen with or without line wrapping.
For dual-channel systems with logging enabled on both channels, a screen dump from menu
will show data from both channels. The Output Datalogger command sends data to an exter-
nal device via the RS-232 serial port. Data transmitted from this menu will be from both
channels of a dual-channel system. The [Clear Datalogger] command erases the entire Data-
logger file.
CAUTION: For dual-channel systems, do not to use the Clear Datalogger command if
your intention is to clear the logged data of only one channel.
