Interesting Phil. I just bought a
serial data logger for my Dynon DS180 (EFIS and EMS). I just received the
Dynon, and data logger, so I haven't had time to try anything with them,
but this setup has promise for Tracy's stuff as
well.
At the moment, the unit only logs one
of the two serial channels, but in the next version of software, it
will log both channels. It uses SD or MMC memory cards, so you can
take them home to read them. The OEM version has this
card slot available on the bottom of the board, where the boxed
version is enclosed. I'm told you can use any branded memory, so you don't
have to buy theirs. I got the 128 mb version, since they seem to
screw you on the memory cost, and I can buy larger cards much cheaper
from other vendors.
They don't use the FAT file system, so you
need their "reader" program to read the memory card on a PC, or you can use a
laptop and download the data via X-modem. Once I get the data, the
next problem will be figuring out what to do with it. I guess I'll be
learning more about Excel than I cared to know.
Cheers,
Rusty (one week until my "sentence" in
Cleveland starts)
