Reset 
The Reset  function resets the logger without affecting the database on the 
user’s PC.  It involves discontinuing any logging activities that may be 
occurring with the logger, deleting all data existing in the logger memory, 
deleting all site details, and restarting the logger clock.  This places the logger 
in to storage  mode, in which it consumes the least amount of power .  Resetting 
the logger essentially powers down and restarts the logger without re -
establishing the previous logger  configuration.

graphing multiple sources , scaling, selecting units , and printing .  
This chapter describes the process for creating or  generating a graph, which 
essentially involves the following three stages:  
 Select ing the  data 
 Generat ing the graph  
 Modifying the paramete rs (as required)
