SINGLE
” to manually output one value at a time – best for printing or collecting data to
your PC from many samples.
Select “
TIMED
” to automatically output live data at selectable intervals – ranging from 3 to 3600
seconds. Data will be output until “
SINGLE
” Print set is selected. This feature is most useful for
gathering data for use with software. Unlike the Data Log setting, data can be saved to memory
using “
MEM IN
” during TIMED setting.
n
Date & Time
Setting the correct date and time is required for GLP and will apply to power off, measurement,
data log, and print functions. Instrument has battery backup to retain date/time settings upon
power loss. Factory reset will not apply to date and time setting once it has been set. Changes

” to restrict access to Calibration and Setup modes. When password protection is
enabled, password entry is required before performing any calibration, or making changes to the
setup mode. Setup parameters can be viewed, but can not be changed without correct password
entry. The password is a user selectable number from 1 to 99999.
Select “
DISABLE
” if password protection is not desired.
The meter does not allow you to edit setup parameters or perform a new calibration unless you
enter the correct password. If an incorrect password is entered 3 consecutive times, the meter
returns to measurement mode.
In the event the password can not be recovered, a password can be provided via a written request
to Eutech Instruments/Oakton Instruments. The instrument serial number and your contact
information are required.
n
Clear Datalog
Select “
YES
” to delete all saved data that was manually or automatically stored into memory.
This step is most commonly required when the “
TIMED
” data log interval is not turned off and as
a result, fills the memory to capacity. When the memory is full, deleting the saved data is required
in order to save additional data. The 2700 will never erase old data in favor of new data when the
memory is full.
If you wish to view, print or send the saved data to a PC before deleting, use the “
MEM OUT
”
function from measurement mode.
n

” to reset the 2700 to the factory default settings except; Date & Time, Temperature
calibration, and data stored in memory.
