WH8010 Data Logging

A quick question about the data logging capabilities of a WH1080 (the kind that you get from Maplin or in my case I bought mine from PCE Instruments)

It states that it has a data logging capacity for 4080 entries. In most scientific loggers this means that if for example I have a pendrive logger for temperature and humidity with a capacity for 16000 entries, I can only take 8000 entries for combined temp and humidity. For the WH8010 does this mean I have 4080 entries of all the data or is it 4080 entries of each individual reading i.e. one of those 4080 spaces is taken up by each reading of date, time, inside temp, inside hum, outside temp, outside hum, rainfall, wind direction, wind speed etc.

Thanks in advance for the help!!

It holds 4080 records, each of which is a 16 byte chunk containing all the data the station measures.

Brilliant, I thought that was the case but I wasn't sure. I need to install the station for a work project and I cant leave a PC with it all the time as their isn't room in the secure box- I was worried I'd install it and then come back in 28 days and the data only be there for a fraction of that.
