As soon as the logger is connected to a USB-slot, a PDF file with all recorded data in chart and an
overview of alarms is generated automatically. The red led indicator lights up during PDF
generation.
Depending on the number of stored measurements, generating the PDF-file might take up to
60 seconds.
As soon as the logger is reprogrammed, the PDF file on the logger will be deleted.
