Setting and Viewing Calendar/Clock
While turning power ON, hold SELECT button down until self-diagnostics is complete and the year is displayed (2000 is displayed as “00”). To adjust a parameter press
VIEW, to enter a value press SELECT.
Once a parameter has been entered the next one is displayed sequentially, the sequence is: year, month, date, day of the week (1 = Sunday, 7 = Saturday), hour (24 hour clock),
minutes. Seconds are set to zero if the clock is changed but not if the clock is only viewed. The clock runs continuously when the unit is off and has the same security and life
expectancy as the data in the logger.
Log Mode
To enter Data Log Mode and save previous data logging sessions already in memory:
1. After turning the instrument on, press and hold VIEW, then press SELECT, then release both. The display will show “AP.” (APPEND).
2. To append (add) data to that already in memory, press SELECT again. The time interval from the previous data logging session will be displayed.
3. If desired, the time interval may be changed at this time by pressing VIEW (time base) to select a different time interval. Time intervals available are 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0,
6.0, 10.0, 20.0, and 30.0 minutes.
4. Press SELECT again to resume data logging without erasing any previous records stored in memory.
To enter Log Mode and erase all previous data logging sessions in memory:
1. Press and hold VIEW, then press SELECT, then release both. The display will show “AP.” (APPEND).
2. Choose a time interval by pressing VIEW (time base) until the desired time interval is displayed. Refer to step 3. above for available time intervals.
3. Press SELECT to begin data logging and erase all previous data logging sessions in memory.
Note: The WIBGET monitor resets itself to monitor mode when the memory is full.
Demand Logging
Pressing SELECT at any time during data logging will cause the immediate addition in memory of a data set other than those data sets logged at the preselected time
interval. This feature is useful if an unusual event occurs at a time other than at the preselected time intervals. As an example, if data logging is occurring at 30 minute time
intervals, and an unusual event occurs 14 minutes after the last 30 minute logging, pressing SELECT will capture that event in memory 14 minutes after the last 30 minute
logging has occurred without affecting the pre selected 30 minute time interval.
To perform Demand Data Logging only:
1. Press and hold VIEW, then press SELECT, then release both. The display will show “AP.” (APPEND).
2. Press View until the display shows “.0”.
3. Pressing SELECT at any time will immediately add a data set in memory with time noted. Since no time interval has been selected, data logging occurs only when
SELECT is pressed.
View While Logging
To view function while data logging press and hold VIEW to observe a current FUNCTION (OUT WBGT, WB, DB, etc.). By releasing and pressing VIEW, each FUNCTION may
be observed.
Exit Data Logging
Simply turn off power to the WIBGET with the ON/OFF switch. Any data in memory will remain stored in memory.
Exit Data Logging Mode and Return to Monitor Mode
Press and hold VIEW, press SELECT, then release both. The display will now be in monitor mode showing OUT WBGT on the display. Alternately pressing and releasing VIEW
will display each FUNCTION (OUT WBGT, WB, DB, etc.) in turn.
