Automatic logging and Datestamp on files
Posted: Sat May 20, 2017 11:36 am
Hi there,
I am having a bit of an issue that I thought the community might be able to help with. I am running a DL1 Club connected to a Dash3.
I collect quite a lot of data, unfortunately all the files are just named RUN00001 etc, once you have a few of them it is very difficult to determine which file links up with each drive. I've been told that the DL1 gets its time/date data from the GPS Module and so therefore a GPS lock is needed before a file can be named. I really would like logging to be automatic such that nothing is missed by accident, I have tried the following combinations:
Manual logging via the button, after the unit tells me it has a GPS lock = no date stamp on files
Automatic logging - this feature just doesn't seem to work, any of the selected options just result in logging starting automatically as soon as the unit has power. The one I would particuarly like to use is - start logging once a GPS lock is achieved but this doesn't seem to work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike
