Default Can GRT "DEMO" files be concatenated

Is there a way to concatenate GRT "demo" files so that I can get an entire flight in one file on SavvyAnalysis?

If it is I haven't found a way to do it.

You guys are funny.

Concatenate is used in computers often.

Walkman, have you tried to 'cat >> file' them together? I haven't tested it but it's just a binary file. You may have to strip some headers but in theory it should work.

Oh, I get it. I remember my dad used to eat a lot of prunes when he got concatenated. I know those computer geeks get crappy tunnel syndrome so it just follows that concatenation would follow. Thanks for clarifying it for me Sid.

Now that's a good way to start a Wednesday!

I don't know about concatenating files, but I'll ask Jeff tonight when he gets here. I think he dreams in binary.

Here's another option. If you're planning to record a flight specifically for uploading to SavvyAnalysis, you can set your EFIS up to record up to 120 minutes of continuous flight. It uses about 1 MB/minute, so make sure the Max File Size is also set to a number large enough to record the flight and you have enough room on your USB memory stick.

More on data logging and demo file recording can be found here, on the Feature of the Week page on our website.

I know HOW to do it, but not whether it will work or not, and didn't have any files to test on.

Actually, even if it will work, you have to be careful about getting them in the correct order.

cat `ls -tr DEMO-<day>-<time>*` > DEMO-<day>-<time>-ALL.LOG

should work
