03 - VBOX Micro Logging
Logging Control
Logging of data to the CF card can be controlled in two ways:
•
Opening the CF card door:
This triggers a micro switch that stops the logging and closes the file. Closing the door
will restart the logging to a new file (dependent on logging mode).
•
Pressing the '■' button:
This will stop the logging and close the current file. Pressing the '■' button again will then
re-start the logging to a new file. If 'Only when moving' logging mode is selected, the '■' button can only be used to
control logging once speed is detected (>0.5 km/h).
Logging Modes
The VBOX Micro supports two logging modes that are set using VBOX Setup software:
• Log continuously.
• Log only when moving (speed >0.5 km/h)
Logging Rates
The VBOX Micro has an adjustable log rate set within VBOX Setup. This allows the log rate to be set in the range
between 1 sample per minute and 10 samples per second (10 Hz).
File Management
VBOX Micro data files are stored in Month folders on the CF card, i.e. Jan14. Each logged file will have a name based
on date with the following format: Mon04Dec07_XXXX.VBO.
A new file name is created for each new day, if a file is being logged when the time crosses midnight a new file is not
created. If the system is switched off and then on again in the same day then it will append new data to the existing file
for that day. If one file is closed and another created on the same day they can be distinguished by an increment to the
file number, i.e. Mon04Dec07_0001.VBO, Mon04Dec07_0002.VBO. When a module is connected the unit must be
power cycled, once the unit is recognised this will then cause the VBOX Micro to open a new file as above.
