XTERNAL EMORY The VLTS device stores internally up to 35,040 readings of recent values for each channel. When the internal memory is full, it overwrites old data in order to save new ones (this is immutable). In external memory devices such as USB drives and micro-SD cards, there is an option of what to do when the external memory is full: overwrite old data and continue storing new data, or to stop when the external memory is full. -
