Which PC software I could use to display easily the graphic datas recorded with my PRO ?

Thanks

MP

I tend to use Excel as I have it, but the .csv file will also open in OpenOffice.

Mike

I have Open Office but I don't know how to use it to display grahical .csv files; maybe there is a lighter software, just a simple module dedicated to such a simple work ?

I don't know of a simpler module for this.
In OpenOffice, I just open the .csv file (in the dialog just make sure the separator is set to "comma").
Then select the columns to display on a graph. e.g. If I want to graph the current, which is in the column headed with "K", I click on the K, and usually the elapsed time that is in column "B", so click on the "B" while holding the CTRL key down. You should now have two columns highlighted.
The just click on the "CHART" button. You get a graph displayed, together with a "Chart Wizard". In this I select "Line" as the "Chart Type", and the "Lines Only", then click the Finish button.

Thanks Mike, I will try that...

I thought about the Companion module but, for some reason, it doesnot accept the .csv file recorded with the PRO; is there a way to simply mod the file to be compatible ?

MP

Not sure if it is simple but first the headings of the first two columns need to be:
"Date,Time,"
then the data in the first two columns needs to be like:
2020-01-25,00:00:00.000

(note the time column doesn't have the ' character).
The date is year-month-day and the time must have all digits present.
With those changes, I succeeded in loading an erskyTx log file into openTx Companion V2.3.9.

I may be able to change the logging in erskyTx to produce this format, and/or I may be able to add the logfile display into eepskye.

Mike

That would be cool Mike, thank you.

João

I've just posted a test version of erskyTx, for the 9XR-PRO, that formats the logfile so it displays in the openTx Companion logfile viewer.

Mike

Very good, thanks

Hi Mike

Ihave a TH9X/AR9x , can I flash the same FW as the PRO one ?

MP

No, you need the test version I've just posted! (ersky9x_romLogGraph.zip)

Mike

Well, I have an issue, the flash stop before the end; I know the issue come from the bootloader but I don't know how to update it...

MP

What version of the bootloader do you have?
The method of updating the bootloader is to put the erskyTx .bin file on the SD card, in the "FIRMWARE" directory, start the radio in maintenance mode (horizontal trims held apart at power on), then select "Update Bootloader", select the file and confirm.
Clearly this will only work if the radio will run.
Do you have a copy of the firmware that was running on this radio, if so, flash that, then use the above method to update the bootloader, then flash the new firmware. Versions of erskyTx (ersky9x) up to and including R220 fit in the first 256K so should flash correctly, ersky9xs_rom.bin from R221 also fits in the first 256K.

Mike

Many thanks, that is OK

MP

I've just posted a test version of eepskye that includes a log file viewer (I just copied the source files from companion!). This supports both old and new format log files. I have, however, needed to migrate eepskye to QT5 to get this to compile. I have also therefore also included eepe built from QT5.

Install by extracting all files from the .zip file, keeping the directory structure, to a suitable directory.

Mike

Thanks Mike. that is wonderful.. Does that mean Eepskye doesn't need eepe installed to run anymore?

João

Sort of! You need the supporting QT dll files, it was just easiest to install eepe to get these installed. The .zip file actually includes eepe compiled on QT5 as well anyway.
