Chapter 7. Logging Data
A powerful and flexible feature of the PT878 is data logging. The meter
enables you to choose up to 12 parameters to log. You can also select the
start time and date, end time and date, and time interval. Logs can run one at
a time or simultaneously. Error and circular logs are also available. The
logged data is internally stored in battery-backed-up memory. A fixed
amount of memory is assigned to data logging. The frequency of the time
interval, the length of the log run, and the number of logs affect the amount
of memory required for a particular log. For example, a log that records
every 5 seconds will use up more memory than a log that records every 5
minutes for a given amount of time. Once you make your data logging
selections, the PT878 enables you to view the amount of memory left. You
may also stop logging or view logged data while or after data is logged.
