If the meter supports internal event logging, you can
choose to have the meter perform the input event
detection. When the meter is performing the input event
detection, the input change detection is noticeably faster.
With the exception of the Fluke 789: If your
meter supports the display of two readings at
once, and both are being displayed, you need to
select whether the input event thresholds are
applied to the primary or secondary display.
Viewing the Status of a Logging Session
Once logging starts, from the Logging Window, select
the Status tab to watch the current logging session as it
occurs.
The Recent Activity Chart graphically displays the most
recently logged events; the current event is yellow, while
older events are blue, and eventually scroll off the left
side of the chart.
The number of events logged and the current high, low
and average values for the event in progress are also
displayed in tabular form.
The active form also updates when an event closes.
Note
Getting Data from the Meter to the PC
Single-Reading Copy to Form
You can capture a single display reading from your meter
and copy it to a form for printing or saving. This is useful
when you only need the reading that appears on the
meter for your records.
To capture a single reading from your meter, the meter
must be connected to the PC. You may copy more than
one reading to the form, but the readings must be copied
one at a time.
The most common way to perform a single-reading copy
to form is to use the virtual meter window. Open the
virtual meter by clicking the Meter button at the top right-
hand portion of the toolbar.
Meters that support single-reading copy to form are listed
in Table 3.
