measurement configuration. After you review these
parameters, push the Start Logging touch target to start
recording.
If you want to modify the parameters, push the Edit Setup
touch target. The settings are kept also during a power
cycle. This allows configuring the logging session in the
office and it is more convenient to avoid the time
consuming task in the field.
Name
The Logger auto-generates a file name with the format
ES.xxx or LS.xxx.
ES ... Energy Study
LS ... Load Study
xxx ... incremental file number
The counter resets when the Logger is set to factory
defaults. See page 34 for details. You can also choose a
custom file name with up to 31 characters.

Duration
Select the duration of the measurement from the list. The
logging session stops automatically when the time duration
has elapsed. A manual stop during the logging session is
also available.
A memory gauge shows the memory used by old sessions
in black. The memory required for the new session is
shown in green. In the case where the new logging
session will not fit in the available memory, the gauge
turns from green to red. You can adjust the average
calculation interval to fit into the available memory.
Interval of the average calculation
Select the time interval when a new average value is
added to the logging session. The available intervals are:
1 s, 5 s, 10 s, 30 s, 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min.
A shorter interval provides more details at the cost of
higher memory consumption.
Examples of when a short interval is useful:
•
Identify duty cycle of frequently switching loads
•
Energy cost calculation of production steps
The Logger recommends an interval based on the duration
to get the best balance between resolution and data size.
