Downloading the VFC400-USB to Control Solutions VTMC
Occasionally, you will want to download the recorded data to Control Solutions VTMC for
additional analysis.
You can either do this by opening the on-board file that was generated when you
connected the unit to your PC, or by directly downloading the unit while it is connected
to your computer.
Note that Control Solutions VTMC only works on computers using a Windows OS,
but not on macOS or Linux.
To view the data on your PC, do the following steps:
l
Start Control Solutions VTMC.

Download
from the
Control Solutions

saved to your computer as a *.ltd, and a chart with the readings will be presented.

You can switch the way the data is displayed using the tabs at the bottom of the
window, upload them to LogTag Online or export the data to different file formats.
