Data dialog box appears. In some cases, this step is
unnecessary. Instead, you are prompted with the Get

Interactive Logging

In interactive logging, readings are logged directly from
the meter and stored on the PC. This allows FlukeView
Forms to take advantage of the PC's larger memory while
connected to the PC during the logging session.
However, the meter must support interactive logging and
be either ac powered or have sufficient battery power to
run for the length of the logging session.
Meters that support interactive logging are listed on
Table 3.
