The measured values of connected SNMP-enabled sensors of sensorProbe2 / sensorProbe8 could be easily exported to a text file. To do this, please download the AKCP datadownload.exe tool which can be found in our download area.

The DOS-based program dataDownload.exe can  be used to download sensor data from your SensorProbe2 (SP2) or sensorProbe8 (SP8) . The output of the downloaded sensor-data will be stored in a text file.

The data output text file name includes the IP address of the host, port number and the sensor type being downloaded.  For example,

192.168.0.100_p1_temperature.txt is the file name for the data output when downloading the temperature sensor data from IP address 192.168.0.100.

Once the datadownload is executed, it will download sensor data from all sensors attached to your sensorProbe2 or sensorProbe8.The data output that have been downloaded can be imported with e.g. MS Excel.

How to use dataDownload.exe :

1. Start the program dataDownload. This program has command line options, which could be seen below.

 Syntax: datadownload <-i sensorProbeIP> <-p password>

-i sensorProbeIP   The IP of sensorProbe to download data from.

-p password        The password of the sensorProbe2 / sensorProbe8 (set or get community).

-t                 Usage of local timezone for timestamp.

-o                 Data will be overwritten if file exist.

-?                 Displays usage information.

You will also be prompted for any required options you did not specify. 

A typical command line of tool dataDownload is:

dataDownload -i 192.168.0.100 -p public -o

Export the measured sensor values with the AKCP-tool ?datadownload.exe?

Optionally, you can use the AKCP tool dataCollectG3.5 ( for Windows OS), which also can be downloaded in the AKCP download area of Didactum ®.

Select the desired intelligent Sensor (LINK) in DataCollect to export measured temperature data to a text file.

In the menu of the DataCollect tool, just enter the IP address of your sensorProbe2 or sensorProbe8 and it`s password. In addition, you can individually choose the sensor ( LINK), which you want to export the collected measurement data.

Alternatively, you could analyse the sensor data of your sensor attached to  your sensorProbe2 or sensorProbe8 with Tobi Oeltiker`s  MRTG tool, which could be download here:

Didactum® also recommends a tool called Cacti, which allows a comprehensive graphical analysis of collected sensor data:
