USB  Data  Logging  

The   TS-­‐83   is   capable   of   recording   Flight   and  
Engine   data   to   an   inserted   USB   memory   device.    
To  begin  recording,  insert  a  USB  memory  device  in  
the  port  on  the  front  of  the  module.    It  will  record  
data   every   two   (2)   seconds   onto   the   memory  

device   as   long   as   memory   allows.     It   uses  
approximately   5   MB   for   every   hour   of   runtime  
data.     It   will   record   the   following   list   of  
parameters  into  a  .CSV  file  on  the  memory  device.    
An   example   filename   is   EM020820.CSV.     The  
format   is   EMDDMMHH,   where   DD   is   day,   MM   is  

month,   and   HH   is   Zulu   hour.     A   new   file   will   be  
created  each  hour.  
 
Note:  Flight  Data  requires  TruTrak  EFIS,  Airframe  
and  Engine  data  currently  requires  TruTrak  EDM.    
Flight   Data   recording   coming   soon   for   TruTrak  
Gemini.    Latitude,  Longitude,  and  Ground  Track  do  

not   record   until   the   aircraft   has   10   knots   of  
Ground  Speed.
