Data log shall record and store data for an average of 50 hours (at one-minute
intervals) without overwriting existing information in normal use.
Gas record content
Data log entries shall contain as minimum date, time and record of peak and
average readings for each gas sensor (oxygen shall be recorded as maximum
and minimum intervals).
Atmospheric record
Instrument shall have provisions to record atmospheric temperature changes.
Record intervals
Time span between data records shall be user-selectable from 15 seconds
to 15 minutes.
