ok wasnt sure if you had a thermo hygro that keeps track of highs and lows

I am using a hygro/therm but not sure if it keeps track? There wasnt much info with the hygro it was just thrown in the box with the bator. What should I look for to see if it has that feature? Its currently in the bator

I may not be able to pick it up until this weekend, but that's ok. I've got plenty of time to get it set up before the EHAL.
