While a UTRIX-16 is plugged into USB, no temperature readings are
taken. The graph will display a gap and the data list will indicate "paused".
This also applies when the recorder is connected to a USB power supply.
Once complete, a new storage device or mounted device will appear.
You can access the files by browsing to the newly created drive and
double-clicking the PDF, CSV or LTD files. For PDF files you will require
Adobe Acrobat Reader or a similar PDF viewer. CSV files can be opened
