Question Request for Sample Data File

A sample raw data file is attached. It is in binary format. I don't know how useful it is.

@rzhang 

Thank you for sending the file. By the way, is there a way to convert the data from binary to text format?

Additionally, is the data output from the MagElement in binary format?

@matsuda 

Yes, the raw data output from the Magelement is in binary format. Depending on the logging software, you can save the data in the binary format or a ascii file. A sample file is attached here.

 Depending on customer feedback, we may release a binary-to-txt converter in the future. 

@rzhang 

Thank you for sending the sample data in ASCII format. By the way, since the output data is in binary format, what functionalities are implemented on the AUV and ASVs side for the connection? Are you using Windows OS on the AUV and ASVs, along with "MagView MagElement" or "MagElementLogger"?

@matsuda 

We provide a sample MagElement data logging code for AUV/ASV users. They write their own data logging software. The sample code can be found here:

Our partner, Chesapeake Technology, developed MagElement data logging function in their SonarWiz software.

If you have Windows OS on your platform, You can also use "MagViewMagElement" as well.

Thank you for providing the sample code. It seems that with a Linux or Windows platform, it should be relatively straightforward to log the data.
