Removing Data From the AcquiLite
When using an HTTP/Post method to allow the AcquiLite to push data to a database server, the AcquiLite will automatically
remove log files from its flash memory once the AcquiLite has confirmed that the file was received by the database server.
If you are using the AcquiLite with a standalone mode, you can use FTP or Enertrax DL to delete log files from the flash
memory.
With EnertraxDL, simply check the setup checkbox to delete log data after download.
For FTP, the process is essentially the same process as the manual FTP data download. For more information on FTP
access to the AcquiLite, please view the FAQ and Technotes section of the Obvius.com website.
Steps for Microsoft Windows command prompt ftp.
Use the following commands.
ftp 192.168.40.50
Use the IP address of your AcquiLite
username: root
password: admin
The same as the admin password
cd /var/log/modbus
dir
view a list of log files.
mdel *.gz
remove the log file to free up flash space
bye
The mdel command will tell the FTP software to delete all files ending in .gz in the current directory. Some FTP clients will
allow you to specify a command “prompt” prior to using mdel that will prevent the FTP client software from asking if you
are sure you wish to delete each file.
