PC Utility Program Features

Making Detailed Settings

Displaying Recorded Data 
in a Table

Configure settings on the LR5000 "Data Logger" series loggers, and
on the LR5092-20 Data Collector. 
The PC utility program can access settings that cannot be accessed
from the logger itself.

For example,

Set recording start/stop method and timing to start and stop 
recording automatically at scheduled times (Timer Measure-
ments). 

Measurement data can be freely scaled for display (Scaling). 

Set upper and lower thresholds so that measurements outside 
of the range cause 

[AL]

 (Alarm) to appear on the logger 

screen (Alarm Judgment). 

Add comments to measurement data.
