Data Logger Viewer
The Data logger viewer is a software application used to display on a personal computer (PC) a log
file generated by the GS550 data logger. To transfer data logger files from a GS550 to a PC see
the section “Transferring Files”.
The Data logger viewer opens the log file, converts it from a PDA database file to a text (binary)
file, and then displays the contents. Two reports can be produced and transferred to Excel, the full
report and the wind speed report
