d. Decimal format setting
The numerical data structure of SD card is
default used the " . " as the decimal, for
example "20.6" "1000.53" . But in certain
countries ( Europe ...) is used the " , " as the
decimal point, for example " 20, 6 "
"1000,53". Under such situation, it should
change the Decimal character at first, details
of setting the Decimal point, refer to Chapter

the " DATALOGGER " indication will be disappeared and finish
the Datalogger.
5-4 To check the time and sampling time information
During the normal measurement ( not execute the
Datalogger ), If press " Time " ( 3-7, Fig. 1 )
once , the LCD display will present the time
information of Year/Month/Date , Hour/Minute/Second
and the Sampling time information .
5-5 SD Card Data structur
e
1) When the first time, the SD card is used into the meter,
the SD card will generate a route :
PMA01
2) If the first time to execute the Datalogger,
under the route PMA01\, will generate a new
file name PMA01001.XLS.
After exist the Datalogger, then execute again,
the data will save to the PMA01001.XLS until
Data column reach to 30,000 columns, then
will generate a new file, for example PMA01002.XLS
12

3) Under the folder PMA01\, if the total files more
than 99 files, will generate anew route, such as
PMA02\ ........
4) The file's route structure :
PMA01\
PMA01001.XLS
PMA01002.XLS
.....................
PMA01099.XLS
