The same test recorded with a 5 second interval will take up six times more memory in the Meter-Master than one stored with a 30 second interval. The recording times for the 4 intervals are: 1 sec. interval = 3.25 days; 5 sec. = 7.5 days; 10 sec. = 15 days; 30 sec. = 45 days; 60 sec. = 90 days.
Meter-Master recording and move the Meter-Master to a new location, attach the sensor, and start a new test. Even if the meter type is different from the current meter setting, the sensor test will usually show you if the sensor is picking up data appropriately.
