EagleTree FDR file format

Hi all,

many of us are using EagleTree data recorder. Sometimes I have several logs that I need to merge between the autopilots and EagleTree. The manual states that you can contact them about file format and they will respond. Unfortunately this is not the case. Therefore maybe somebody has a clue about what the file content means:

Obviously 19456 is just the number of samples, the rest are easily decoded ASCII data, but the line in BOLD contains some magic flags and options, one of them is related to time step. Any ideas?

EDIT: The field in red is milliseconds timestep size, it accepts .6 format also, and Milliseconds from the first column are ignored.

Not sure if the application can plot precisely timesteps like 333.333333 or will just truncate to 333.

Other fields remain a mystery.

BTW somebody mentioned

http://www.heliguru.ru/download/-manual/eagletree/597-pro-glide-fli...

but it doesn't explain beyond:

Second Line: Data about your model’s setup, in an internal.

This line is needed to allow sharing of your data files with others.

Oh yes, for sure.

It also adds

Email us if you need more information on the file format.

Without promise of answering to that mail.

PLEASE POST HERE YOUR RECORDINGS *.FDR SO I CAN PICK DIFFERENCES COMING FROM DIFFERENT SOFTWARE VERSIONS - IT WILL BE EASIER TO REVERSE-ENGINEER THIS WAY.

 Did you try to modify the setup of the log software and look a the modifcication of the 2d line ?

Comment by healthyfatboy on June 3, 2012 at 6:40am

What exactly are you trying to find? I've worked with the data some before and can help if I know what exactly is confusing you.

Comment by Krzysztof Bosak on June 3, 2012 at 7:12am

I would like to know the meaning of every parameter marked in Bold. are those setups like units (imperial vs SI) or other stuff, since I want to not waste time comparing with data recorded with EargleTree and figurign out why certain things are not as usual.

Comment by healthyfatboy on June 3, 2012 at 3:08pm

Ah, okay. I'm not sure about those parameters. I used everything but those before.

I looked quickly a log file and found:

Looked a bit more. Correction for above post:

X = Logger firmware effects to this value also. Elogger V3 with old firmware = 73 ,but with 5.84 firmware = 74

3 = At least connected rpm sensors change this value, perhaps something more effects too. For example Elogger V3 gives with Brushless rpm sensor = 84 ,no rpm measuring = 84 ?? , magnetic sensor = 16468

Thanks Jani all this works. I am still working on GPS flags column... looks it is still ignoring GPS time.

What I am generating is this:
