Backlight ON/OFF
After powering the meter ON, the LCD Backlight will turn on automatically. While taking measurements, press the Backlight Button and the LCD
Backlight will turn off. Press the Backlight Button once again to turn the
LCD Backlight back ON.
Datalogger
Preparation Before Executing the Datalogger Function:
1) Insert the optional SD card into the SD card socket.
2) Before you use an SD card with this meter for the first time, it is recommend to format the SD card. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions.
3) If this is the first time the meter is used you need to adjust the clock. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions.
4) Now you need to set the decimal format. The numerical data structure downloaded to the SD card is defaulted used the “.” as the decimal, for example “20.6” “1000.53”. But in certain countries the
“,” is used as the decimal point, for example “20,6” “1000,53”. See
Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions on how to change the Decimal Character.

3) Stop Datalogging; while the Datalogger function is paused, press the REC Button for 2 seconds. The “REC” symbol will disappear indicating the Datalogging function has stopped.
Manual Datalogger (Set sampling time = 0 seconds)
1) Set sampling time is to 0 second; Press the REC Button, and the
“REC” symbol will appear on the LCD screen. Press the Logger
Button, and the “REC” symbol will flash once and one Beep will sound, at the same time the measuring data along the time information will be saved in memory. The lower Display will show the
Position (record) number, which is saved as well.
2) To Change the Position Number; press the Down Button and the lower position number will flash on the display. Press the Up or
Down Buttons to set the Position Number (1 to 99) to help identify the measurement location. The lower Display will show P x (x = 1 to
99). After the position number is selected, press the Enter Button to confirm.

SD Card Data Structure
1) The first time the SD card is used in the meter, the SD card will generate a folder: VBA01
2) The first time you use the Datalogger, in the folder VBA01, a new file name VBA01001.XLS will be created. The Datalogger will use this file until the Data has reached to 30,000 rows. The meter will then will generate a new file with a subsequent number, for example VBA01002.XLS.
3) The folder VBA01 can hold 99.XLS files. When that number has been reached, the meter will then will generate a new folder with a subsequent number, for example VBA02. Max number of VBA-- folders is 10.
Data Transfer from SD card to Computer (EXCEL Software)
1) After Datalogging, remove the SD card from the SD card slot.
2) Plug in the SD card into the Computer’s SD card slot or insert the
SD card into the optional SD card adapter and connect to your
Computer. Turn your computer on and a folder will appear on your desktop representing you SD card.
3) Open “Microsoft EXCEL”. Download the EXCEL files from the SD
Card to the computer by opening up the SD folder and selecting the desired EXCEL files, and drag-and-drop them onto your Computer. Open the files with EXCEL (File – Open).
4) The EXCEL file will have the following column headers in this order:
Place (Position Number), Date (Year/Month/Day), Time (in 24h clock), Value, and Unit.
