• A long press (REC) starts the recording session. While the recording is inprogress, the symbol REC appears at the top of the display. A second long pressof stops the recording session. Note that while the instrument is recording, a short press of has no effect. To schedule recording sessions, and download and view recorded data, see the Data Logger Control Panel Help.

Alarms

You can program alarm thresholds on each measurement channel via the DataView Data Logger Control Panel. In standalone mode, if an alarm threshold is programmed, the symbol is displayed. When a threshold is crossed, the symbol blinks, and one of the following blinking symbols appears to the right of the measurement

 indicates measurement is above the high threshold.
 indicates measurement is below the low threshold.
 indicates the measurement is between the two thresholds.
