12-1-4. Saving single data

A single data is saved to USB memory when ‘Single Data’ is selected in the settings.  
The data cannot be saved in the internal memory.

How to save

While                 (MEM sign) is on, press            (SEND button) to save the data of 

which selected in [SEND Functions] - [Send Data Select].  

The message ‘Data Saved’ appears.

* See [18.3. File Format saved in then USB memory (ZTA, eZT only)] for the format of saving data.
* This operation creates a file in USB memory and adds data to it as repeated.
* In case the USB memory is disconnected and reconnected or the power turned off and back on, 

another new file is created with this operation.

* It may pause a while before ‘Data Saved’ message appears when saving for the first time after 

USB memory is automatically found.

Start and stop of saving

While                 (MEM mark) shows up, press            (SEND button) to start saving 

data in USB memory.  Press            (SEND button) again to stop saving.

                (MEM mark) blinks during saving.

* Please refer to the page 50-51 for file format of USB memory.
* The data is saved in the new file of USB memory. (Not re-written)

• The recommended settings of inverval is 50 /sec or 1 /sec when 

recording to USB memory for a long period of time.

• Recording may stop due to USB memory capacity, speed or other 

factors.

• Some USB memories may show error message during recording.
• It is recommended to connect to PC and use our optional software Force 

Recorder for stable consecutive recording.

12-1-5. Disconnect of USB memory

Please make sure to follow the direction below to disconnect USB memory from ZTA.

                (MEM mark) disappears when USB memory is ready to be disconnected.

Make sure to disconnect USB memory after                  (MEM mark) disappears.

• UP to 100 data/sec. is saved in USB memory, while the sampling speed 

of ZTA is 2000 data/sec.  The measuring value can differ between one 
displayed on ZTA and one saved in USB memory because of the speed 
difference.

• Optional software Force Recorder is recommended for measurement 

with sudden force change such as destruction test.  Force Recorder can 
receive 2000 data/sec the same speed of ZT series.

• Do not disconnect USB memory during saving.
• Please make sure to follow the direction to disconnect USB memory, 

otherwise data can be lost.

• The sign of                (MEM mark) may not light after USB memory is 

repeatedly connected and disconnected.  Please turn off the power and 
turn it back on.  An error message may appear otherwise.
