ZL6
ZENTRA Utility downloads sensor data and creates a Microsoft Excel
®
compatible file.
The time-series sensor data saves to the Processed Records sheet of the workbook with
metadata saved to the Metadata sheet. Metadata includes logger configuration settings,
logger location, and sensor metadata, such as serial number and firmware version.
ZENTRA Utility will download data in the units chosen under Measurements in Manage
Preferences dialog (Section4.2.5).
2.2.5 DATA DELETION
It is not necessary to delete data on the ZL6. Once all of the memory has been used, the
ZL6 will start overwriting the data starting with the oldest records.
Erasing stored data is done with ZENTRA Utility. Before erasing data, download and save
data onto a computer.
CAUTION: This feature permanently erases all stored data on the ZL6. Data previously transmitted to ZENTRA Cloud
are not erased.
To erase data, follow the steps below:
1. In ZENTRA Utility click on the Data menu on the Menu bar.
2. Select Erase. A dialog will appear.
3. Click Erase Data to remove data or click Cancel to return to the main screen.
