Daystar Multi-Tracers are designed to be nodes on any Ethernet network. Common browser software such as Firefox or Microsoft IE may be used to setup the Multi-Tracer and access data. Data files are collected using ftp software. All data collection routines, timing, averaging, and storing data, are "on-board" the unit which will retain several weeks of collected data depending on the averaging and number of IV curves specified by the user. However, we recommend data be collected periodically (daily) and stored/backed up for security.

A separate file is created for each days data. All channel and auxiliary input data are stored in this file. Software will be provided to view the data from any computer having the IP address and access priveledges to the Multi-Tracer.
