measurement or calculation overwrites the oldest record in a first in-first out (FIFO)
scheme. Record #1 is the most recent measurement or calculation, and Record #20
is the oldest. The records are recalled sequentially, using the front-panel
button. Records cannot be deleted individually or in bulk.
To recall a record
, press the button. The value of the first (most recent)
measurement or calculation will appear on the bottom line, and a “1” will appear
over the icon near the top of the display, below the battery charge indicator.
Briefly press, or press and hold, the button to navigate up or down through the
memory to the desired record number (Fig. 15). Repeatedly
pressing the button briefly recalls stored records in reverse
chronological order. Repeatedly pressing and holding the
button recalls the records in chronological order. Tip: Pressing
and holding the button with Record #1 displayed recalls
Record #20.
