Note: Communications software packages generally have the ability to capture the screen data to a common text file. This text file, containing the measurements, can then be imported into any common spreadsheet program (i.e. Excel, Quattro Pro, Lotus123) for further reporting requirements.

Using The Data Logger

The MMX-6 DL is equipped with an on board data logging feature. This will prove to be a valuable reporting tool for inspection purposes. It will increase efficiency by reducing the time it takes to manually record the measurements during the inspection process. The MMX-6 DL can then be connected to a computer or serial printer to save and print the results of the inspection.

The MMX-6 DL has a storage capacity of 1000 measurements. The MMX-6 DL has 10 files consisting of 100 sequential storage locations in each file. The procedure for using the data logger is outlined in the following steps:

1)Press ON/OFF key to power up the MMX-6 DL.

2)Press the MEM key to activate the data logger. Note:

•The display will flash FILE / F-01(or the last file used) symbol. Remember, there are 10 files F-01 thru F-10.

3) Press the SEND key to enter file setup.
