    Memory Memory The Accutrend Plus instrument has two memory areas, each of which can be used to store up to 100 measured values together with date, time and event flags. If you have not set any date and time (see the Setting the date section of this manual), all measured values will be stored without date and time information.
  • Page 93 Memory After the usual display test has been performed when switching on the instrument, the last stored measured value is displayed. The mem symbol indicates that the instrument is in memory mode. The date and time on the display match the time at which the measurement was performed, and not the current time.
