The format of the timer is
hh:mm:ss
. During logging to flash, the blue led blinks in short bursts.
Starting or stopping a flash log can also be done by pressing shortly twice on the button of the
ProMove-mini (see Section 3.3).
When starting or stopping a flash log, a notification message appears in the information area at
the bottom of the main screen with the response from the node, indicating success or failure.
A failure can occur when logging to flash is already started (or stopped) or when the maximum
number of 510 files is reached.
Flash logs are named
LOG<№>.LOG
, where
№
is the first available number starting from 1.
The creation date of the flash log is also recorded. The date is based on the internal clock
of the node. If the battery of a node is fully drained, the clock is reset, which can result in
an incorrect creation date. The internal clock is automatically synchronized with the PC time
when data from a node is received by Inertia Studio.
A ProMove-mini sampling at 200 Hz with all sensors enabled uses about 20 MB of flash per
hour.

Downloading a flash log
To download flash logs, the node should be directly connected via an USB cable to the PC.
Downloading over radio/Bluetooth is supported, but is generally much slower and could fail
due to packet-loss. By selecting the
Download...
option from the
File
menu, the
Download
Flash Logs
window appears, as shown in Figure 14. When a node is selected in the drop-down
list, status information about the internal flash is shown, and the
File list
is updated with the
flash logs present on the internal flash of the node. The filename, file-size and creation date
(local time) of each file is shown in the list. Selecting a node or using the
Refresh
button on the
right hand side will update the status information and file-list. Active files (e.g. files currently
being created) are not included in the file list.
To download a file, select it in the
File list
and adjust the following options:
•
Destination
: The name of the file (
itlog
format). Several wildcards are supported in the
filename:
– {name} or %s
: Insert the full flash file name (without extension).
– {no} or %d
: Insert the number of the flash file (e.g.
34
for LOG34.LOG).
– {date} or %c
: Insert the creation date of the flash file (in ISO 8601 format).
– {id} or %i
: Insert the node ID.
•
Unique Filename
: Selects the way of handling existing log files with the same name (same
as in Section 4.3).
•
Use Date from Flash File
: Set the creation date of the file to the date of the flash file.
