Note
Each memory file will store up to 10000 readings. If the number of samples
is set to a value greater than 10000, consecutive memory files will be used
to store all the samples. If the readings fill the last file (999), reading
storage will stop.

The Meter displays the first stored reading from the internal file. Four soft keys
provide the means to scroll through the readings stored in the file. The FIRST soft

file one reading at a time.
