Zentra Software; Zentra Utility - METER ZL6 Manual

4. ZENTRA SOFTWARE

The ZL6 is designed to work with ZENTRA Utility and ZENTRA Cloud. Both ZENTRA Utility and
ZENTRA Cloud software allow the user to collect and manage data from the device. ZENTRA
Utility is on the included USB drive or can be downloaded from metergroup.com/zl6-support.
ZENTRA Cloud is a web-based application to remotely download spreadsheets, view data,
and configure the ZL6 (Section 4.3).
NOTE: ZENTRA Utility does not communicate with the ZL6 logger over the cellular network and internet. The logger
must be physically plugged into the computer to download data via ZENTRA Utility. Use ZENTRA Cloud to download
ZL6 data when not directly connected to the logger.

4.1 ZENTRA UTILITY

ZENTRA Utility is a user-friendly interface for configuring and downloading data from the
ZL6 logger that can be used on any MacOS (10.9 and above) or Microsoft Windows (7 and
above) laptop, netbook, or desktop computer. With ZENTRA Utility, the user can connect to
ZL6 loggers directly to
• set all logger configuration parameters,
• make real-time sensor measurements (scan sensors), and
• create Excel files with sensor data.
The ZENTRA Utility main screen should appear upon launch (Figure 12). Use the Menu bar
and Button toolbar to interact with the ZL6.
