Identifying the Logger
By default the Odyssey
®
Xtreem logger will arrive with its name being a hexidecimal representation of
its serial number. In the Xtract Application press the View button. Once scanned, the Odyssey
®
Xtreem logger located will be shown in the list. The Xtreem logger with the highest signal ( also
coloured green if it is very close ) is the logger that is closest to the tablet / phone.
Setting Up the Logger
The first time the logger is used, unscrew the top cap and remove the battery insulation disc. All user
configuration is carried out in the Xpert Web portal. The tablet / phone running the Xtract application
transfers the logged data from the Odyssey
®
Xtreem logger to the Xpert web portal and transfers the
configuration into the Odyssey
®
Xtreem logger. Using a web browser ( Firefox is preferred ) navigate
to www.xpert.nz, then enter your username and password provided by Dataflow Systems. On the
Map page ( default ), select Home from the drop down selection box, then select a logger from the
logger selection drop down box. An icon for the selected logger will display on the Map. Click on this
icon and an information box above it will pop up. To locate the icon for the first time, it may be
necessary to zoom the Map out to find the logger.

Logger Configuration
1. Select the Logger Config Tab. Enter a Logger Name that will be used to Identify the Logger
from now on. The serial number can be used however this is very long and difficult to
remember.
2. For most situations use continuous logging which means once the memory is full it will start
overwriting the oldest data first. Start and stop time can also be entered.
3. Choose a logging Interval in Hours and Minutes. Suggest using 15 minutes or greater. At an
interval of 15 minutes the logger will not overwrite data for 1.5 years.
4. In the Site box, add some brief location information to help locate the logger in the future. In
the Notes box add any information that may be of use.
5. Select the Time Zone the Logger is deployed at. This is important as it may be different from
the time zone where the data is viewed.
6. Press the Submit button to apply the Logger Configuration.
