Here you can view the captures of your trap.

Exporting data into Excel

Clicking on the Export button brings up the “Export Data” 
window (28).  Here you can select a date range for export, 
whether data are exported from 0-24 hours or 12-12 hours, 

and the format of the export file (EXCEL or CSV, comma-se

-

parated values.) 

Daily charts

Scroll down below today’s chart, and click on “Load Daily 
Charts” to display small charts for the last 30 days (29).  This 
is a convenient way to spot trends.

  

Note:  Since a large amount of data is searched, it may take 
up to 20 seconds or more to update the display.

Insect counts

Clicking  on  the  “Counts”  button  (30)  opens  the  “Insect 

Counts” window (31) under the main chart. Here you can 
specify a time frame (with start and end date and time), du-
ring which the numbers of collected mosquitoes, large ob-
jects, and small objects will be listed. This selection does not 

affect the main chart.

Accessing historical data

Data are stored and presented for 15-minute intervals.  All 
times are local time at the last known location of the trap.

List

Click on “List” to see trap counts as well as status data dis-

played below the main chart (27).  If the battery voltage is 

getting low, it can be seen here.  Also, the cellular reception 
level is indicated; numbers of -113…-100 dB indicate a weak 
signal, and data transmissions may become irregular.
