Data export to USB flash drive

Required accessory

In order to perform an export of your device data, you need a dual USB flash drive (2-in-1 USB stick) Type-C/USB 3.0 with a USB C connector and a USB A connector. Such a dual USB flash drive is delivered together with your device. You may also purchase such an USB flash drive from different vendors.

Perform data export

1. Open the menu item   Device in the main screen of your VitalControl device.

2. Invoke the submenu Data management, select the menu item Animal data and confirm with OK.

3. Another submenu opens. Select the menu item Export animal data (csv) and confirm with OK.

4. You are now asked to insert an USB flash drive:

   

5. Insert the USB flash drive (C plug) into the connector at the bottom of the device.

   

6. Once the device detected insertion of the USB stick, data export is automatically started. Writing the backup data may take a few seconds. When the data export finished, a success message is displayed:

   

7. Data export is now complete. You will find the four created export files inside the directory export-csv on your USB flash drive.

   

   Notes

   • To prevent accidental overwriting of export files, the file name of each export file always includes the date and time when the file was created. Be sure to use the latest version of the export files if you have exported animal data multiple times.
   • The file size of the export files depends on the number of animals on the VitalControl and on the number of measurements performed. In general, the export files only occupy a few kB of storage space on the USB stick.
