  • Page 18: Memory

    Memory The MRU-21 meters feature memory that can store 990 single measurement results The whole memory is divided into 10 memory banks, with 99 cells in each bank. Each measurement result can be stored in a memory cell marked with a selected number and in a selected memory bank. Thanks to this, the user of the meter can, at his/her option, assign memory cell numbers to individual measurement points and the memory bank numbers to individual facilities.
