If you enjoy keeping records of your hunts and studying the records
frequently to detect trends or patterns, then FOXDATA will become an
important feature for you. FOXDATA is a digital-journal, of sorts, that
allows you to track details from any hunt with the intent of archiving
those details for future study. At the push of a button, FOXDATA creates
a new log entry documenting the current state of the remote control
including: current playing sound, volume level changes, FOXFUSION
usage, temperature, barometric pressure, date, time, moon phase, and
timer.
The recorded data is stored in a CSV file within the remote control. You
can access this file by connecting the Fusion remote to a PC (see
chapter 10). CSV files can be opened with popular software titles such
as Microsoft Excel.
As an extension to FOXDATA, FOXPRO has developed an online
extension that you can use to store your data. This online application
will track your information for you to plot out trends, averages, and all
other details. You can quickly import your FOXDATA file directly into
your own account to turn the data into useful onscreen information
with charts and graphs. Determine your hunt/harvest ratio, time spent
in the field, and even download reports in PDF format. Visit the website
below for more information on the FOXDATA online extension:

Tip from FOXPRO
• In order to make sure that your collected data is organized in a
structured, per-stand basis, it is important that you remember
to start and end the FOXDATA tracking feature at the start and
end of each stand. Otherwise, the data set will not be closed and
you may end up with multiple stands featured as a single data
