<NOTE>

By setting interval time to be 1sec, measurement is restricted to measure only leak current, except for METER mode (voltage).

Measurement sampling is using system clock of PC, and elapsed time of data display is using data from TOS3200. As each

clock is not synchronized with each other, elapsed time display may not go with sampling interval.

This software does not have feature to graph measured data. To graph the data, please process saved CSV file with Microsoft

Excel 2003 or other software.
