Using this method, you can check if the data logger is registering pulse from your meter/reed switch.
Note: Default configuration is data logging every 15 minutes. You need to wait 15 minutes to see the result. (Or change the log interval to 60 sec. Then save the configuration. Test your meter and change the log interval back to 900 sec.)
Note: To be able to download data you need to install the configuration software.

Date/Time, Log1 (CH1), Log (CH2)
CH1 is an analogue channel
CH2 is a digital channel
CH1 is a digital channel
CH2 is a digital channel
Digital log values will be the number of pulses received on the channel over the log period. Analogue log values will be the Voltage in millivolts unless the unit is calibrated to a particular sensor. i.e. Pressure etc.
Step 5) Disconnect the data logger.
