I don't have one of these but it is apparently similar to the "Watts up" monitor. Watts up says "Easilly reset data via the external pushbutton switch." Do you have an external pushbutton switch?
What you seem to be seeking are the features in the Trimetric 2020. It costs three times more than the Doc Wattson, but counts negative amp-hours and resets itself to zero once the battery voltage reaches a user-defined point. I use the crap out of my Trimetric. I honestly wonder if I'm going to wear out the buttons on the thing.
Here's a feature I really like for an off-grid system. I have a Mate on my Outback inverter which tells me battery voltage, so I set the Trimetric to display instantaneous amps. So at a glance, I see volts AND amps (plus or minus). I highly recommend this setup because it provides way more information than just volts OR amps. A couple button pushes gets me amp-hour data, and for the wife, she can see the remaining battery capacity in percentage.
My neighbors leave their Trimetric on volts all the time and I think that value can mislead a person. I came home today after a mostly cloudy day but an hour or so of sun in the afternoon. My battery voltage was 26.2 (24V system). It looks all good until I see that I'm still 85Ahr down from the day before. I never got to absorb voltage, I sure didn't hold absorb voltage for two hours like I want to, or my MX60 would have told me the float time minutes.
So maybe Doc Wattson is a manual meter and you reset it yourself when you know for sure batteries are full, just know that it only counts negative amp-hours and reverse your thinking?
