USB Data Logging
The	
   TS-‐83	
   is	
   capable	
   of	
   recording	
   Flight	
   and	
  
Engine	
   data	
   to	
   an	
   inserted	
   USB	
   memory	
   device.	
  	
  
To	
  begin	
  recording,	
  insert	
  a	
  USB	
  memory	
  device	
  in	
  
the	
  port	
  on	
  the	
  front	
  of	
  the	
  module.	
  	
  It	
  will	
  record	
  
data	
   every	
   two	
   (2)	
   seconds	
   onto	
   the	
   memory	
  
device	
   as	
   long	
   as	
   memory	
   allows.	
   	
   It	
   uses	
  
approximately	
   5	
   MB	
   for	
   every	
   hour	
   of	
   runtime	
  
data.	
   	
   It	
   will	
   record	
   the	
   following	
   list	
   of	
  
parameters	
  into	
  a	
  .CSV	
  file	
  on	
  the	
  memory	
  device.	
  	
  
An	
   example	
   filename	
   is	
   EM020820.CSV.	
   	
   The	
  
format	
   is	
   EMDDMMHH,	
   where	
   DD	
   is	
   day,	
   MM	
   is	
  
month,	
   and	
   HH	
   is	
   Zulu	
   hour.	
   	
   A	
   new	
   file	
   will	
   be	
  
created	
  each	
  hour.	
  
	
  
Note:
