Back Erase in the Time History Record
The time history starts from the time the data was restored. The erased
data will be marked as Back Erase as the record type.
A measurement often needs to be reset when a radical noise event
takes place that is unnecessarily recorded in your data. For example, an
aircraft passes overhead when attempting to measure the background
noise in a normally quiet area.
To reset a measurement in progress, stop the measurement, then press
1
the Reset
. This erases all data previously measured and resets the
run time clock to zero. A reset doesn't reset stored data files, only the
current run. A reset can be initiated when the 831C is running, paused,
or stopped.
Current measurement data is not automatically saved. You
CAUTION
must manually store the data or use an Auto-Store option. Once you
store, your data is not lost during a reset. If you initiate a reset while a
measurement is running or paused, the 831C automatically stops the
measurement.
