Logging and recording capacity

The meter provides both data and event logs. The amount of memory required to store these logs depends on the number of parameters being logged and the frequency with which these parameters are logged.

The following equation can help determine the amount of memory required to store data and event logs:

each record consumes (in Bytes) = [(number of parameters * 5) + 8]

The meter can also perform waveform recording. To calculate the waveform memory usage, use the following formula:

waveform memory usage (in Bytes) = [2*(number of samples per cycle) + 10]* (number of cycles in waveform) + 30

NOTE: Round up to the nearest kilobyte after each of the above calculations.

In ION Setup, the Memory tab in the Logging folder of the Setup Assistant displays the memory allocated to each log and the meter’s total in-use and available logging memory.
