Overview

Data Storage lets you store trends, unit data, alarms, events, and diagnostics in separate files on a
floppy disk for later analysis and review (replay). Data can be reviewed onscreen or on a PC with SDA
data analysis software or the TrendManager Pro V5 software suite. Set point Programs, instrument
configurations and calibrations are not part of the Data Storage feature.
