InactiveJust came from the garage where i have logged the charging of a few motorcycles. But when i looked at the logs now, they are all in the same file. A few thousand samples, so it was a pain in the ** to split the log into different ones.
Is there any way to create a new log file every time i select “logging enable”? This time it was appending the data to the same file. Or do i have to remove the SD card and format it / delete the file every time i start a new log session to be 100% sure to get a new file?

KeymasterHi Kyrre,
There should be a new log file every time you turn logging off and on. Although now that I think about it, the new log file might not get created until the logging interval on the Mooshimeter hits. What I mean by that is – if you have a 10 second logging interval, and you toggle the logging off and on again really quick within those 10 seconds, the meter might not notice.

InactiveNoted. I might very well have broken this “10 second rule”. Fast worker as i am. And it makes sense, as days where i use the log once- or twice during the day does not create this issue.

GuestHi Kyrre,
I’ve noticed this as well, I record data frequently for work and even with multiple hour/days gaps the data is appended to the previous log file. I haven’t put much thought into it as I thought it was a problem specific to me.

InactiveIn that case it’s probably a bug not related directly to the sample time. Hoping it will be fixed regardless of what’s triggering the behaviour.

GuestI just saw this happen too, and it was not due to enabling and disabling logging too quickly. I disabled logging (interval: MAX), removed and reinserted SD card (copied file), waited an hour or so, configured it to a different measurement quantity (amps instead of aux volts), and re-enabled logging (interval: MAX). The new measurements just got appended to the previous file, with a header marking when the measurement quantity changed.
