With 66 hours on the hobbs, I did my first download of the Dynon EMS D-10 this afternoon. WOW! There's a LOT of data stored in that little EMS!![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
After plugging the flash drive into my computer at home, the file opened up just fine in Excel. Columns across the top have titles such as GPS Data Valid, EMS Fuel Flow, EMS EGT1, etc...
The rows seem to be separated by about 5 second intervals - so the EMS is grabbing a snapshot of the entire engine, including GPS data such as airspeed, altitude, and location(lat/long). It also grabs the date/time from the GPS, but separates it into "day", "month", "year", "hour", "minute", "second" columns. Since the time is in six different columns, it's impossible to graph (for example) oil temp against time.
Having all of this data is great, but it would be better if I had some way to trend the data and use it to spot developing problems. Does anyone have a program or method to graph the data?
