Collected measurements are automatically stored on the on-board microSD card. You
can use any commercially available adapter to access the data from the card. When in
-
serting the card into the Stratus, do so with the Stratus unplugged; otherwise, the card
will not be recognized and future data will not be recorded.
Data files are stored in order of when your experiment took place (in “YYYYMMDD”
format). Inside each day’s folder are data files titled by the time the experiment was
started (in “hh-mm-ss” format). These are saved as standard .csv files, and can be
opened in any spreadsheet or data analysis software. The Stratus’ internal clock is
already set to your time zone by Cerillo at the time of shipment.
The Stratus can be operated by plugging the provided USB cable into a computer’s
USB port instead of the power adapter. If you would additionally like to control the
Stratus and read its data from that computer, you can download Cerillo software at
cerillo.bio/software. This software enables direct control, data access, and configura
-
tion of the Stratus. Having trouble downloading the software? You may need the install

Insert your experimental plate into the Stratus, then press the start button (left) the
status light will briefly illuminate green then cyan to indicate the auto-calibration. The
Stratus will automatically begin taking measurements after the calibration. To stop a
reading in progress, press the Stop (right) button until the status light turns red.
Measurements can be taken with or without a plate lid, or breathable membrane. The
Stratus should be at a constant temperature throughout the experiment, avoid large
changes especially during the calibration phase. To change the interval of which your
measurements are taken, download the Cerillo Device Manager software, select your
preferred time, then start and stop a read while the Stratus is plugged into your com
-
puter. The Stratus will them recall this custom interval, even when plugged into a wall
outlet or battery source.
