Logging

eg4 model only logs at one minute intervals and includes the following measurements:

•Meter 1 logs Lavg/Leq, Lcpk, and Lasmx

•Meter 2 logs Lavg/Leq

If the dosimeter runs for one hour, then it will log 60 Lavg/Leq results, and 60 Lasmax/Lcpk levels. In DMS, you can customize the logged data chart results by checking Lavg/Leq,

Lcpk, and/or Lasmax measurement values when using the button.
