Manual Data Upload

Updated by Travis Bates

This article details how to manually upload data from a data logger to the cloud using ZENTRA Utility.

For the best experience, we recommend installing the latest version of software and device firmware.
Manual uploads are not available for the EM50 or EM50G.

An account is required to begin uploading data to ZENTRA Cloud with your device added to that account. If you do not yet have an account open your browser and navigate to https://www.zentracloud.com and click Sign Up. See our GETTING STARTED guide for more information on creating an account.

Manually uploaded data can be downloaded from ZENTRA without a subscription plan. Contact METER if you plan to use a cellular ZL6 as a manual upload without a subscription.
