Data Logging

Logging Options

The 8718B Meter features several methods of collecting data.

The basic choices are:

Logging Data with the Meter. The logged data stored

in the meter is downloaded to a computer at a later date

using the User's Software, where it can be viewed and

printed. The data can also be exported in spreadsheet

or database formats for further processing.

Continuous Output to a Computer. Data collection, if

any, is performed by the computer.

Analog Output. An analog voltage is continuously

available for use with a Chart Recorder or A/D converter.

Logging Data

The 8718B has three logging modes to collect field strength

measurements, store the data in the meter’s memory, and later

export the data to a personal computer via the RS232 port on

the top of the meter. The three logging modes are:

Collect a series of up to 999 data points, one at a time,

and automatically assign a reference number to each

data point. The reference numbers can refer to either

site plan locations or to a diagram of the industrial

equipment being surveyed. Each data point also has a

time and date stamp.
