USB Stick as a Data Logger and for Updating Invert-

er Software

USB stick as a da-

talogger

If a USB stick is connected to the USB A socket it can function as a datalogger for an in-

verter.

At any time, the logging data stored on the USB stick can be

- imported into the Fronius Solar.access software using the FLD file that was logged at

the same time,

- viewed directly in third-party programs (e.g. Microsoft® Excel) using the CSV file

logged at the same time.

Older versions (before Excel 2007) are limited to a maximum of 65,536 rows.

Suitable USB

flash drives

Due to the variety of USB flash drives available on the market, it cannot be guaranteed that

every USB flash drive will be detected by the inverter.

Fronius recommends that only certified USB flash drives suitable for building sites are used

(look out for the USB-IF logo).

The inverter supports USB flash drives with the following file systems:

- FAT12

- FAT16

- FAT32

Fronius recommends that the USB flash drives employed should only be used for record-

ing logging data or updating the inverter software. The USB flash drives should not contain

any other data.
