Meter configuration.
Incompatible configurations (from incompatible configuration versions)
will not be loaded, but will generate error +229 "Incompatible
measurement configuration not loaded".

Managing Memory

The Meter provides a method of clearing internal memory and displaying the status of
external memory. Per Department of Defense requirements, the Meter allows the erasure
of Meter configuration and data files from external USB memory modules. Other files are
not erased from the modules.
To copy the last or interrupted readings file from internal memory to an already-inserted
USB memory device:
1. Press M.
2. Press the INIT MEAS TO USB soft key.
The copy process will take several seconds.
To erase USB memory, refer to the "Media Memory" section in Chapter 1.
