MEMORY

The NITESTAR has 99 memory locations. Each location can store
an event and a distance.  For example, 99 intersecting street
locations can be stored in memory with their corresponding dis-
tances.  These values are saved in the permanent memory so
even after the unit is turned off and back on they can be recalled.
If you have the RS-232 option the values can be printed or trans-
ferred to a computer.  

* Optional Survey Data Management software can be purchased
that will store an unlimited number of events and distances on a
laptop computer.
