If you find the USB icon color is green at right upper side of display, then it means
communication is normal but if icon color is grey , it means that communication between
PC and ZIVE SP2 is disconnected.

ZIVE SP2 can save the data file in PC in real time but for fast sampling rate(including burst mode),
data stocking speed in ZIVE SP2 is faster than transfer rate to PC. So after finishing the experiment,
data transferring from ZIVE SP2 to PC may continue for some time. If you setup a long experiment
time with high speed data sampling condition, the data may overflow the memory buffer inside
ZIVE SP2 and this will result in data loss. Setup of the experiment schedule file should be done with
consideration to the amount of data to be recorded and the speed and quantity of the ZIVE SP2
internal memory.

The number of data points and the amount of data transferred to the PC is shown in the
information bar in the software virtual control panel.

If there is remaining data inside ZIVE SP2 not transferred to PC after the experiment is finished, a
message box will open to show the system is transferring data. If you press “cancel” button, data
will saved up to the cancellation point. (If you did not start another experiment, you can retrieve the
non transferred data from ZIVE SP2 again by clicking “refresh real time plot” button.

Smart manager software consists of standard software package and optional software packages. If
you purchase one of the optional software packages a later date you can activate the new software
by inputting the authorization code

after starting experiment, ZIVE SP2 will work without PC control.
B. Data storage size inside ZIVE SP2 per each channel is max. 350,000 points. These data set can be
transferred to PC after experiment finishes.
C. User can adjust parameters for experiment in details.
