Hello, I've got a DL1 (latest one) wired to my car and have placed the unit in the boot as when the cage goes in I won't have access to the glove box and I couldn't think of anywhere else for it to go whilst being hidden.
I have a remote start-stop button on the dash and all is working fine but I'd like a remote GPS lock LED so I know I have a lock before I start logging - is there a way this can be done?
Thanks

Yes, this would be a nifty feature. Perhaps a special flash of the remote log status light would work.
It turns on as the unit powers up, and it turns on when logging. But a double flash every so often with a GPS lock would be really great. Two second interval, then two quick flashes, two second.... etc
Also, just a thought, would it be possible to start the datalogger when a good GPS signal is received? In Analysis it's possible to see the Signal Quality, and therefore it could be used to trigger logging when the quality is better than a certain amount?
However, I suspect both of these issues can't be done with a mere firmware update - if they can do let me know! Might be time to bother upgrading my firmware!

Understand. A cage is not a concern?
My wife is well disposed towards the DL1. She calls it Mr Squiggle:

Hi,
Am I missing something here? The DL1 already provides a "Log Status" output. All that is needed is to connect a diode or relay to this to show whether logging is happening or not. See the help file - Hardware - DL1 - How do I? - connect a logging indicator.
