28 Appendix F: User Data Logs
SkyView continuously stores four (4) retrievable data logs that can be exported for user
analysis. These data logs are stored on SkyView’s internal flash memory and are
exported to a USB flash drive.
The base file name is the same on all four (4) logs. Each element is separated by a dash
(-) character:
• DATE – Expressed as year (-) 2-digit month – (2-digit day). Example 2015-01-
14
• TAILNUMBER – As entered into SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP >
AIRCRAFT INFORMATION > TAIL NUMBER
• SKYVIEW DISPLAY SERIALNUMBER – The serial number of the SkyView
display the data logs were recorded from.
• SOFTWARE VERSION – The Software version on the SkyView display that
the data logs were recorded from, at the time of the data log export.
• OPTIONAL33 CHARACTERS – Optional 33 user-selectable characters that
can be added to the data logs filename, selectable at the time of the data logs
are exported.
• PART_XX – SkyView may save a data log into multiple files, distinguished by
sequential digits, such as ….PART_01, ….PART_02, etc.
28.1.1 User Data Log
Filename format:
DATE-TAILNUMBER-SKYVIEWDISPLAYSERIALNUMBER-SOFTWAREVERSION-
OPTIONAL33CHARACTERS-USER-LOG-DATA.csv
Example:
2014-08-07-N123X-SN1492-11.0-CROSS_COUNTRY_LEG1-USER_LOG_DATA.csv
(CROSS_COUNTRY_LEG1 is user-selectable text, up to 33 characters, at time of
export.)
The User Data Log contains plain-text tabular data that records the entire state of your
SkyView system at a recording rate of your choosing (see below). This includes over 100
items, and includes all ADAHRS (flight instrument) data, Engine parameters, GPS data,
Autopilot status, SV-XPNDR-261 status, time, and more.
When exported, the data log is a standard CSV (comma separated value) file and can be
viewed in spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel once exported from the system.
The top row of the CSV file is a header row which documents the format of the file. The
headers for each configurable EMS input follow the following format: Name (Units) (where
the “Name” field is as it is named in the SENSOR INPUT MAPPING setup menu). Each
row beneath that header row contains an individual record – or instantaneous snapshot
