The eLogger’s Data File is compatible with Excel ™ spreadsheet software, and other spreadsheet products supporting space delimited
data files. Using Excel™ is useful for graphing the data output from the eLogger.
To load in Excel, save the data file from “File->Save Recorder File,” and in Excel™ choose File->Open, and select “All Files” in the
“Files of Type” box. Navigate the Excel dialog box to the location where you saved the .FDR data file, and click on the filename.
Excel should then bring up the “Text Import Wizard”. Choose the “Delimited” option, and on the next page choose “Delimited with
Spaces”. The data should then load correctly in Excel.
The format of each line of data in the file is:
First Line: Model Name
Second Line: Data about your Model’s setup. This line is needed to allow sharing of your session log files with others.
Third line: header indicating what each of the data fields represents. In the current software, these columns are:
If “IsEvent” is 1, the record contains event data as well as regular data. Typical events are power-up (restart), and servo glitches.
Ignore the non-event fields when IsEvent is set to 1.
Event Codes in the “EventCode” field are as follows. Note that codes other than those below should be reported to Eagle Tree
Systems:
9 = ERROR_RESTART: The eLogger has been started or restarted (power was applied)
18 = ERROR_GPS_DATA_PACKET: GPS Data was received from the GPS Expander,
27 = ERROR_SPEKTRUM_DATA_PACKET: Data was received from the AR9000 Interface
Milliseconds indicates when each record was collected, in Milliseconds since the eLogger was turned on.
