The Tracker can log data to its internal memory, either automatically or manually.
To log Manually, from the home screen or secondary data screen, hold the Enter button for 2 seconds.
The Log indicator in the banner will briefly read Captured indicating the data point was successfully
saved to the data log.
To log automatically, the user sets a log interval, and data is atomically logged based upon that interval.
While auto logging is active, manual data points can also still be captured using the method above.
The LOGGER Main menu has the following options.
Auto Log
The Auto Log menu gives the following information:
1) Logger status: ON / OFF
2) Log start: Month Day Hour:Minute of the first record in the data log
3) Log end: Month Day Hour:Minute of the last record in the data log
4) Records: Number of records / Maximum number of records available
Automatic logging can be toggled ON or OFF using the Up Arrow.
