Upload Readings Using Proqio´s Template

Why Manual Uploads Are Useful

Manual uploads allow users to:

• Upload data of instruments which are not connected to data acquisition systems. 
• Maintain alignment with Proqio’s measurement categories and templates
• Ensure that manually monitored instruments are accurately reflected on the Proqio platform and your project data remains complete and up to date.
