To select between Load Study and Energy Study:
1. Go to Meter > Change Configuration. This Configuration screen
contains the measurement configuration parameters such as
Topology, current range, voltage, and current ratios.
2. See Measurement Configuration on page 21 for more
information.
3. After you review these parameters, push the Start Logging
touch target to start recording.
4. If you want to modify the parameters, push Edit Setup touch
target. The settings are kept during a power cycle. This allows
you to configure the logging session in the office when more
convenient and avoid this time-consuming task in the field.

Duration and Recording Start/Stop Date and Time
You can set the duration of the measurement from a list. No end
configures the maximum possible duration based on the available
memory.
For a duration not shown in the list, select Custom to enter the
duration in number of hours or days.
The logging session stops automatically when the time duration has
elapsed. You can manually stop the logging session at any time.
A logging session starts to record immediately when you push the
Start Logging touch target. Or, you can configure a scheduled
recording. It is either configured by the duration and the start date and
time or by the start date and time and stop date and time.
This is a convenient method for how to set up the Logger to measure
a full week profile starting on Monday 0:00 and ending on Sunday
24:00.
Even when a start date and time has been configured, you
must push the Start Logging button.
