ZL6
5.2.5 MENU BAR
ZENTRA Utility Menu bar has six menus to access the program features: File, Data, Edit,
Actions, Window, and Help.
FILE MENU
The File menu includes two options:
• Disconnect: Disconnect from a logger and end communications.
• Quit: Closes ZENTRA Utility.
DATA MENU
The Data menu has three options:
• Download Data Since Last Download: Download the data stored since the last successful
download.
• Download All Data: Download all the data currently stored in the ZL6.
• Erase: Deletes all stored data.
Section2.2.4 provides instructions for downloading data from the ZL6 logger.
The data downloaded by ZENTRA Utility will be calibrated correctly for each sensor type,
except for soil moisture sensors. ZENTRA Utility uses a default calibration for soil moisture
sensors that is appropriate for most mineral soils, but a custom calibration may be needed
for the particular soil type. If a different soil moisture sensor calibration is necessary, change
the Measurement Units to Raw VWC in the Manage Preferences tab. Raw VWC values will
be downloaded in the Processed Data worksheet for use as inputs to custom calibration
equations. See each specific sensor manual for alternative calibrations that can be applied
to the raw data.
EDIT MENU
The Edit Menu allows the user to edit preferences in the Manage Preferences dialog. These
preference configurations will only be saved to the computer, not as measuring preferences
in the ZL6 memory. It has four tabs for navigation:
• Measurements Tab (Figure19):
 Measurement Units: Set preferences for measurement units by using the dropdown
menus. Click OK to apply the changes.
