Operating the Meter

Collect a series of up to 999 spatially-averaged data

points, one at a time, and automatically assign a

reference number to each data point. Both the average

value and the maximum value at each location are

stored. 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.

Automatically collect a series of data points at specific

intervals of time for a specific time period. Each data

point also has a time and date stamp.

Format for Logged Data

A record contains a header and one or more data points. Each

record is identified by a user-defined two-digit survey number

and the time and date the survey was performed. The header

defines the serial number of the 8718B meter, its calibration

date, the probe model used, and a number of other settings.

These settings may include logging rate, frequency correction,

averaging mode, and averaging time.
If the probe used was selected from memory, the header will

also include the serial number of the probe and its calibration

date.
