4.c. Start Collecting
The Start Collecting option asks questions depending on what type of hardware you have installed in your Phoenix II as
well as what type of Storage Mode you plan on using. Press the “1” key from the menu and the display will now show:
Press ENTER to begin the start collecting option.
Note that pressing the CLEAR key will back you up one question. Holding down the ALT key and pressing the ENTER
key will skip all questions and immediately begin Testing Lanes under the current Start Collecting Options. This is useful
to collect data under previously entered setup conditions.
Before you use the Phoenix II to actually start collecting data, verify the following things:
 The battery is fully charged (or will last as long as you plan on collecting data).
 You have enough free memory in the counter to hold all of the data you plan on collecting. Use the Show
Status option to verify the amount of free memory. Appendix B contains tables which will give you an idea of
how much memory you will need for different collection options and modes.
