4. SOFTWARE AND CONFIGURATION
METER designed the Em50 series data loggers to have a simple configuration and no data
logger programming. The software packages are key to the effectiveness and ease of the
Em50 Series data loggers. The software fits a variety of users and allows quick and easy
access to the data logger.
• ECH20 Utility: Use ECH20 Utility for basic data logger configuration and direct connect
data download in Excel format. Customers can use ECH2O Utility on any Windows laptop,
netbook, or desktop computers.
NOTE: ECH20 Utility cannot download Em50G data from METER Data Service.
NOTE: For Mac users, use ZENTRA Utility (preliminary Em50 support) for configuration and data download. See
metergroup.com for a ZENTRA Utility download.
• DataTrac3: DataTrac3 is a legacy software for downloading and collecting data from
Em50R or Em50G systems.
• ZENTRA Cloud: Use the subscription-based ZENTRA Cloud software for organizing data
from multiple Em50G series loggers. Data are automatically updated, and graphs of the
complete data sets are created for each logger. Remote configuration is not available for
Em50G loggers. If this is a requirement, contact METER to learn about the ZL6 upgrade
program.
DataTrac3 has a user manual available from the support section of the product page at
metergroup.com/em50-support.
