The Calendar Clock can be displayed continuously along with the data. The date and time are recorded with every reading, when using the Notepad and AutoLog functions.

To comply with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) standards, the WP Series store the date, time and results of the last calibration. This information can be recalled when required. All readings stored in memory are stamped with the date and time.

To reduce errors when recording readings, the WP Series has a 2400 reading Notepad. At the touch of a button, readings can be recorded into memory, along with the date and time.  This is especially useful when taking readings in wet environments.

The WP Series has RS232 serial port interface. All readings stored in memory and GLP information can be downloaded to a PC or printer. The RS232 serial port also allows the AutoLog function to log directly to a PC or printer.  WinTPS Windows software allows the WP Series to communicate with a PC for data download.

The WP Series is supplied with a rechargeable NiMH battery and charger as standard. Chargers for all countries are available. For extended field trips a solar panel, or a charger lead for a car cigarette lighter socket are also available.
