Scales can be programmed from two locations in the software:• File menu option: Use this option to create a library of scales to use

withDCvoltageandDCcurrent loggers.Thiswill allow theuser toselectanumberofpredefinedscales.

• Scale menu option: Usethisoptiontocreatescalesforloggerscon-nectedtotheserialportfordownloading.

TheSimpleLogger®softwareallowstheoperatortodefineupto17pointsalongthescaleforDCcurrentmeasurementandupto11pointsforDCvoltagemeasurementtypeloggers.Any combination of points may be used to create the scale, which allows theusertoplotbothlinearandnon-lineardata.(SeeFigures2and3).
