I bought this 12 years ago and realised that I had been conned. I was led to believe that it would perform basic data logging functions. It turned out not to have the data log function under acquire. I could only get a trigger delay setting supposedly to set the interval time between samples. this turns out to be very hit and miss and I end up with thousands of samples over a 24hr period. Huge waste of time on a spreadsheet. Anyone know how to tame this beast. I would like say 1s/6mins for a 48 hr record on a 24v reading. OBTW I messed with Benchview and was appalled at the shoddy software - it would talk via usb properly I wasted months trying to get it to work. All hot air and promises from Agilent in the states. Very disappointed in their communication s/w |

Try TestController, it can easily do it, even 48 hours with a entry each second. Forum: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/program-that-can-log-from-many-multimeters/ Download (At the bottom of the page): https://lygte-info.dk/project/TestControllerIntro%20UK.html |

You hint at what you are expecting, but aren't totally clear. Are you wanting it to take a sample every second but only record it if there is a certain amount of change from the last sample? And then record at least one sample every 6 minutes even if there is no change? That is a feature that is not universal even to instruments that feature data logging. Once you've had and used it, it does seem like everyone should have it, but alas... |

You must record all data, but during export you can reduce the data based on change. |
