How do I know if the unit is recording data?

Push the cassette button this will enable you to view the status in real time.

The unit was running but did not record data on i.e. volts, amps, etc.,what’s wrong?

In set-up of the logger you have to make sure you highlight the diamond below the parameter that is to be recorded i.e. volts amps etc., then the return key to store.

How do I set the unit up to record transients?

Go to main menu using the six purple buttons, press the top left hand button (transients logging), set the time, date and enter the number 50 to set the V & A threshold levels.

If I put in a start and stop time in for recording data and a logging time of every 20 seconds, and the memory is full before the stop time is reached will the unit do a wrap round and over write my recorded data?

No, when you enter a start and stop time then push the record button the unit will tell you if you have enough memory to carry out your test.
