Data Logging

The Data Logging kit can be ordered with this part number:
67354-010
The Data Logging feature records three types of events:
• Totalizer/error events
• Configuration change events
• Startup events (power up or reset events)
Each type of event is recorded into three separate files stored on
internal memory.

memory. Any new events to be recorded will overwrite
the oldest event on record.
