CHAPTER NINE
DATA STORAGE
9.1 Introduction
The
ZX-6 DL
is equipped with a basic and convenient sequential style data logger
that’s intuitive to operate. By ‘sequential’ meaning a single column of 250
measurements and a total of 40 individual files, for a total storage capacity of 10,000
measurements. These files can then be transferred to a PC using the USB-C to USB
type A cable included in the kit. When
ZX-6 DL
is connected to a PC, it will show up
in the list of drives as an external hard drive, or “thumb” drive. Open the external
gauge drive, and copy the files to and from the gauge and PC.
The file format is
.csv
(comma separated) and can be opened using any text editor,
spreadsheet editor, or Dakota’s proprietary PC software supplied with the gauges.
Only files with at least one measurement stored in the file will appear in the external
drive folder.

Pressing the
key prior to pressing the
