Downloading data
Each Hydrosteel 7000 has its own unique serial number. This number is printed on the front of the unit and
contained in the unit software. All data downloaded from an instrument is stamped with this serial number.
This allows data from multiple units to be distinguished. The serial number is displayed at the top of the
graph and data table, and also saved to the top of a “*CSV” export file.
Data download
1. To download the data press download button. There is an option to download data only from a specific
date. This might be the date of the last data download. A status bar will appear while the data downloads
if the memory is full (1year +) this will take some time.
2. One the data has downloaded it will be displayed as graph and table.
3. Save the data as required
Erasing logged data
Once the data has been downloaded and saved we recommend that the logged data is erased. This will
minimise the data download time and prevent multiple files having the same data.
Graph operation
The graph automatically plots the flux data. For graph options use the graph drop down menu on the tool
bar or right click with the mouse on the graph. Option include different data plots, horizontal and vertical
gridlines or liner/stair-step interpolation.
A data point can be selected by clicking on graph with the mouse. The corresponding data point in the table
will be highlighted blue.
A region of data points can be selected by clicking and dragging on the graph again the data points will be
highlighted blue on the graph and table.
Zoom in
To zoom in select "zoom in" icon (Magnifying glass with a doted box), point the mouse pointer at a corner of
the area to zoom in on, click the left mouse button, and drag a zoom box over the required area then left
mouse click again. The graph will zoom in on the boxed region. You may zoom in repeatedly as needed.
