saved under the name of Save-2. The auto-incrementing number
can be reset to 1 by positioning the menu selector next to the
save name and then pressing the softkey labeled Reset #.

To save a screen shot, a recording session, or MIN MAX or Peak
record session, press the softkey labeled Save. To select the
name from the preset list, press +Name. To save to the same
name as before but with the next number, press the softkey
labeled Save. This second method makes it easy to save a
series of measurements simply by pressing the Save softkey
twice for each save operation.

When selecting the name for a save operation, position the menu
selector next to the desired name using the cursor buttons. Next
press the softkey labeled Save.

Viewing Memory Data

Viewing data stored in the Meter’s memory is performed through
the save menu. Press the softkey labeled Save. Position the
menu selector next to the menu item labeled View Memory and
press the softkey labeled View.

Note

To view data stored in memory, the Meter must not be
recording or performing a MIN MAX or peak record
session.

The Meter separates stored data into four different categories:
Measurement, MIN MAX, Peak, and Recording. Use the cursor
buttons to position the menu selector next to the desired saved
data category and then press the softkey labeled View. The
Meter displays the last record saved for the selected data
category.

If there are previously stored records, press the softkey labeled
Prev or 5 to page back through previously stored records. Press
the softkey labeled Next or 6 to page in the other direction. Press
Close to return to normal Meter operation.

Viewing Snapshot and Summary Data

After selecting the MIN MAX, Peak, or Measurement category
described in the Viewing Memory Data section above, pressing
View only displays the information stored at the time a Save was
performed. The display is reconstructed from this data when
viewed.

Viewing Trend Data

For the Recording category, the interval and event data stored
during a recording session are viewed on the Meter through a
trend-plot view, similar to a strip-chart recorder. See the
“Recording Measurement Data” section later in this manual for
an explanation of interval and event data.

After selecting the recording category described in the Viewing
Memory Data section above and pressing View, the recording
session’s summary screen is displayed (See Table 9). Press the
softkey labeled Trend to display the recorded data in a trend-plot
view. Table 7 shows the trend view along with a description of
each of its components.

To look at data stored in the individual records that make up the
trend, move the cursor to any point along the plot by pressing 6
or 5. The value and timestamp of the minimum, maximum, and
end-of-record values of the selected record are displayed at the
bottom of the cursor. All data contained in a record can only be
viewed on a PC running FlukeView Forms.
