      James,
      The logging feature is not very useful unless we have a way to convert the binary data to a format we can use (CSV). Is there a link to the conversion script?

      The conversion script is baked in to the binary. When the meter starts logging, it first writes the conversion script to the SD card so the user is guaranteed to have it :)

      Hi both,
      I still do not have clear the status of logging function, my understanding is:
      – current firmware is able to log
      – current app is not able to visualize and download the measure file
      – only chance to access to the measures is to read the SD w/ a PC
      – the text measure file doesn’t have the standard CSV physical format, but a binary proprietary format (code specified in the meas file). So measure needs to be converted w/ a script or excel macro before graphing w/ uniplot, excel or similar sw.
      Am I correct?
      Thanks for support
      Armando

      Hi Armando,

      – current firmware is able to log

      Yes

      – current app is not able to visualize and download the measure file
      – only chance to access to the measures is to read the SD w/ a PC

      Correct

      – the text measure file doesn’t have the standard CSV physical format, but a binary proprietary format (code specified in the meas file). So measure needs to be converted w/ a script or excel macro before graphing w/ uniplot, excel or similar sw.

      Not quite – the CSV output is a standard CSV format and the values are supplied in native units (volts, amps, ohms, etc.). I think some users have been having issues with excel not liking the tab character, so future versions of the conversion script will use a space instead.

      Does this answer your question? Thanks

      Hi James,

      I am one of those users whose excel software is struggling with the tab character.

      Which part of the python code do I need to change to make the data graphable in excel?

      Excellent job on the firmware update so far btw :)

      Thanks Jack!

      Oh yeah, you can definitely modify the script yourself until the new version gets through.

      The line is:

      Just change it to

      and there will be no more tabs.

      Hi James,
      Thanks for the clear and quick feedback!
      Are you planning to enable a CVS file download via bluetooth directly w/ the app? One more useful feature for the app would be the post logging graphing.

      I am interested in this device for my automotive technicians. The automotive industry now has changed to incorporate the use of PC’s as a primary diagnostic tool. My techs are not willing to use their phones as a tool. I have provided them with Microsoft Surfaces. (Pro 2s) Do you have a windows program that will function with this device and take full advantage of its capabilities? If you are working on an app for windows will it be available for the RT platform?

      Hi James –

      I’m actually working on an API for PCs right now. The short answer though is that a PC application for the meter does not exist yet but is in the works.

      Best
