Companion Log Viewer - "Knots"

Post by PeterV »

The Companion Log Viewer only gives you a unit of measurement of KNOTS for Airspeed.
Also only METRES for barometer Altitude.

Could it be set up (future version) to allow configuration of the units you want to use/see?
eg Airspeed (any speeds) in Knots, Kmh, Mph (m/s ?)
Altitude in Metres and in Feet

2.1 does just that (well it uses the units you've configured on the radio for each sensor).

In the Companion Viewer?
But you still not get to CHANGE that in the Viewer if you want to see other number systems?
So that would be good to have in the Viewer (conversion I guess).

At least it helps a bit to get it in the format you were using....

Is the number format stored in the Log files then? I have not seen it in the older systems (2.0 backwards). Not that I looked specifically for that, but have looked through the CSVs before.

Companion doesn't do any conversion nor even knows what units are used, it just takes the numbers that are in the file.

It is not really likely that you'll want to use meters when you fly but somehow switch to feet when replaying the log... and if you do, you can even solve it by logging with both units.

So in 2.1 you set up for 'duplicate' sensor(s), set for the two different units, and it will Log those automatically - or do you have to set up a set of factors to log. eg both of those then?

Looks like I better finally change to V2.1 !!
With over 40 models programmed I was dreading doing it....

Each sensor has a checkbox to enable logging, so you need to select those obviously.
