1. FEATURES

* Data record mode : Normal model or Peak hold mode.
* Normal record mode :

Set sampling time from 1 second to 8 hours.

* Peak hold record mode :

Set sampling time from 10 ms to 500 ms.

* Memory capacity of normal record mode : 1 GB to 16 GB.
* Memory capacity of peak hold record mode :

1000 data no. ( max. )

* Under Peak hold record mode, if execute the " Data

record " function, the memory circuit will store 1000
data no. ( max. ) measuring data into the SD card per
fast speed sampling time ( 10 ms to 500 ms ).

* Under Normal record mode, if execute the " Data record

" function, will save the measuring data along the real
time value ( Year/Month/ Date/Hour/Minute/Second )
into the SD card per normal sampling time ( 1 second
to 8 hours ).

* After save the data into the SD memory card, it can be

down load the data to the Excel directly, extra software
is no need. User can make the further data analysis (
graphic analysis ) by themselves.
