Removing Data From the AcquiSuite
When using an HTTP/Post method to allow the AcquiSuite to push data to a database server, the AcquiSuite will
automatically remove log files from its' flash memory once the AcquiSuite has confirmed that the file was received by the
database server.
If you are using the AcquiSuite with a standalone mode, you can use FTP or Enertrax DL to delete log files from the flash
memory.
With EnertraxDL, simply check the setup checkbox to delete log data after download.
For FTP, the process is essentially the same process as the manual FTP data download. For more information on FTP
access to the AcquiSuite, please view the FAQ and Technotes section of the Obvius.com website.
Steps for Microsoft Windows command prompt ftp.

mdel *.gz
remove the log file to free up flash space
bye
The mdel command will tell the FTP software to delete all files ending in .gz in the current directory. Some FTP clients will
allow you to specify a command “prompt” prior to using mdel that will prevent the FTP client software from asking if you
are sure you wish to delete each file.
