Plugging the UTREL30-WiFi into a USB port
UTREL30-WiFi User Guide

macOS, OSX and Linux
Typically in these operating systems a new drive will be mounted, from which you can
open the PDF file. You will not be able to configure the UTREL30-WiFi using either of
these operating systems, unless you use virtualization software such as VMWare Fusion,
Parallels Desktop or Virtualbox to create a hosted Windows environment. You need to
discuss these options with your network administrator. Virtualbox is free, while VMWare
and Parallels are offered as paid subscriptions.
Accessing the files
If the logger was configured to generate files, a new drive letter or mounted device will
appear. The device name will be created from the serial number of the UTREL30-WiFi.
You can access the files by browsing to the newly created drive and double-clicking the
PDF, CSV or LTD files:
l
If you have selected PDF as one of the files to be generated, you will find a single
file with the .pdf extension, containing the data for both channels. For PDF files,
you need Adobe Acrobat Reader or a similar PDF viewer.
l
If you have selected LTD as one of the file types, you will find a single file with the
ltd extension, containing the data for both channels. To open the LTD file you need
to install the free LogTag
®
Analyzer software.
l
If you have selected CSV as one of the file types, you will find two files with the
*.csv extension, one for each channel. CSV files can be opened with a text editor,
or imported into a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft
®
Excel.
To retain the logger-generated files, copy them to a permanent storage location
on your computer, such as the
Documents
folder, as they are not automatically
copied.
The data on the logger is retained, until is re-configured. Each time you plug the
UTREL30-WiFi back into the computer, the files are re-generated. Once the
battery is exhausted, the real time clock on the unit stops and dates and times
for the retained data may no longer be accurate. You will, however, still be able
to access the last trip's data.
