  • Page 12: Stored Logs Memory

    STORED LOGS MEMORY The C161 utilizes a shared memory system much like a computer hard drive. The different Log types are stored sequentially until the shared memory area is full. This means the log types are not restricted to a smaller number of memory locations as the full memory capacity is available as required for Logs of any type.
  • Page 13: Viewing Stored Logs

    Viewing Stored Logs Once the view has been selected from the Logs Menu the following screen will be displayed: List of available Logs (Navigation and selection via the buttons). Log View Menu Options View stored Combustion Logs (Option will appear if Logs are available). View stored Auxiliary Logs (Option will appear if Logs are available).
