Memory & Downloading Sensor Data
The sensorProbe's hardware has data logger memory where it stores the sensor data.
It can save 8,640 points per sensor. So, if you set your collection time period for 15 minutes you
can save up to roughly 3 months of data on the unit. When the memory is full, the oldest data will
be overwritten. Please keep in mind the dual temperature/humidity sensor is equal to 2 data
points.
There are three ways to download the sensor data from the sensorProbes. The preferred option
would be to use our AKCPro Server software which can be downloaded from our website here:
https://www.akcp.com/products/akcpro-server/
Please check and review the AKCPro Server product manuals on our support portal for the
technical information, including installing and setting up the server software.
The other two options are using the dataCollect or dataDownload utilities. Please send a request
to our support team if you would like to use either of these utilities.
Make sure when running these utilities your network firewall is not blocking the port these run on.
The first is called dataDownload, which is a command line program that will download all the
sensor readings stored on the sensorProbe. This downloaded data is stored in a text file and can
then be easily imported into a spreadsheet program, such as MS Excel.
After running this utility, the data will be stored in a directory called datadownload located on your
C: drive of your PC and this will have the data for each port in it.
Or you can use our dataCollect utility that allows you to poll the sensor data directly from a PC on
the same LAN as your sensorProbe in real-time.
You can collect an unlimited number of readings and you can collect data from multiple
sensorProbes simultaneously.
