“SNAPSHOT” log is also recorded and can be downloaded. The snapshot log records the value of all parameters
anytime an alert occurs.

INTERNAL LOGGING

To activate internal data logging, enter the EMS > SETUP >
GLOBAL > DATALOG CONFIG menu or the EFIS > SETUP >
DATALOG menu (different routes to the same menu) and set
RECORDING to ON. Set the INTERVAL depending on how
frequently you wish data to be stored. Data can be stored at
intervals of 1, 3, 5, 10, 30, and 60 seconds. Leaving the RECORD
AT BOOT option set to NO causes the RECORDING option to be
reset to OFF every time power to the FlightDEK-D180 is cycled.
Setting it to YES ensures that the FlightDEK-D180 begins logging
data automatically at boot up. If you wish to mark the data log at
any point, select the MARK NOW function and press SEL►. This inserts a notation in the data log retrieved by your
PC, allowing you to quickly find the place in your data when you marked the record. For information about retrieving
data and reading the file produced, please see the help file included in the Dynon Product Support Program (version 5.0
and higher).

The FlightDEK-D180 has a limited amount non-volatile internal storage for the data log. With a 1-second recording
interval, at least 30 minutes of cumulative data can be recorded; with a 10-second interval, at least 5 hours; with a 30-
second interval, at least 15 hours, and with a 60-second interval, at least 30 hours. When the FlightDEK-D180 internal
storage fills up, new records overwrite the oldest records. To delete the records in internal storage, select ERASE LOG,
ERASE MIN/MAX LOG, or ERASE SNAPSHOT LOG (only available on certain units).

The data format and connection settings for the internally-recorded data are described in the Help Files of the Dynon
Support Program.
