Can I save the data?
Yes, data can be exported into a CSV file to a USB drive or over a network connection.
Can I see trends of pH readings from the TrakPods?
Yes each TrakPod detail screen show recent pH data. This can also be exported and plotted in spreadsheet tools.
How do I remotely access the TrakStation?
If your TrakStation is network connected, it is possible to access all the controls of the TrakStation from a separate computer that is on the same network. Please follow instructions here: https://www.safesens.com/trakstation-users-manual/menu-functions/.
If the lab already has a PC, can we use that as a TrakStation?
In 2017 we released a software-only version that allows almost any Windows PC running 8.0, 8.1 or 10 to emulate TrakStation software. All features and functions are available. Please contact Customer Support at support@safesens.com for availability.
Can we set the TrakStation up so we get emailed the data automatically?
This is a feature we plan to enable in a future software release. If the TrakStation is connected to a WiFi network, you can have the user email data directly. Or, if no network connection exists, the user can download the data to a USB storage device and email those files from a lab PC. A list of TrakStation supported USB storage devices is located on the website at https://www.safesens.com/ivm/usb-drive-support/.
If you are unsure about the network connection a lab may have, please inform the lab before installation they may need to contact their IT department and determine how to connect to a network if they do not know how to do so. We are happy to reach out and discuss options to successfully install the system with a network connection when given information prior to installation.
How frequently are pH data points collected?
The TrakStation measures pH data every 30 minutes for 7 days as the standard interval. pH data collection is also possible for research applications using 1-minute data collection for 3 days.
