Accessing the files

If the recorder was configured to generated files, a new drive or

mounted device will appear. The device name will be created from

the serial number of the UTRIX-16(M). You can access the files by

browsing to the newly created drive and double-clicking the PDF,

CSV or LTD files. For PDF files you need Adobe Acrobat Reader or a

similar PDF viewer. To open the LTD file you need to install the free

LogTag

Analyzer software. CSV files can be opened with a text

editor, or imported into a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft

Excel

The file names contain information about the recorded data, which is

detailed in the section about Interpreting the Data on page 11. If a

recorder has only taken pre-start readings, PDF and CSV files will not

be created.

You should copy the files generated by the recorder to a

permanent storage location on your computer, such as the

Documents folder, as they are not automatically copied.

The data on the unit is retained, and each time you plug the

UTRIX-16(M) back into the computer the files are re-generated,

albeit with a new file name. Once the battery is exhausted,

however, the real time clock on the unit stops and dates and

times may no longer be accurate.

Unplugging

You can unplug a UTRIX-16(M) at any time; there is no need to stop

the device via the shortcut menu in the notification area on the

taskbar. If you plug a unit into a USB port during a start delay, the

delay period will re-start when the unit is unplugged. You will see the

start and delay signals indicated by the LED’s. The delay will also be

restarted if you press the START/Mark button during the delay

period.

You may see the start signal if you have configured a time start, but

have left the unit plugged in beyond the start time of the UTRIX-16

(M).
