Configure settings on the LR5000 "Data Logger" series loggers, and
on the LR5092-20 Data Collector.
The PC utility program can access settings that cannot be accessed
from the logger itself.
For example,
Set recording start/stop method and timing to start and stop
recording automatically at scheduled times (Timer Measurements).
Measurement data can be freely scaled for display (Scaling).
Set upper and lower thresholds so that measurements outside
of the range cause [AL] (Alarm) to appear on the logger
screen (Alarm Judgment).
Add comments to measurement data.
