Viewing the Recorded Data
When a data recording session is started, the controller
saves a “Settings file”, which contains all the current
settings and configuration details of the GD Pilot TS, to
your SD card.
The file name comprises the start date and is suffixed
with an “S00” as shown:
YYYYMMDD.S00
(The “S” identifies this as a “Settings file”, where YYYY
denotes Year, MM denotes Month, DD denotes Day.)
The controller then begins monitoring and recording the
machine's data at the intervals chosen in the
SD Card
Menu.
If the recording session crosses over to another day a
“Data file”, containing all the data that was recorded
during the previous day, is saved to the SD card. The
file name comprises the date and is suffixed with a
“D00” as shown:
YYYYMMDD.D00
(The “D” identifies this file as a “Data file”.)
A new data file is written every subsequent day that the
recording session is allowed to continue, each with its
own data-based file name.
When the recording session is ended by the user, a
second “Settings file” containing the settings and
configuration details of the GD Pilot TS at the end of the
recording session is written to the SD card.
This file name contains the date and is also suffixed
with an “S00” as shown:
YYYYMMDD.S00
(The “S” identifies this file as a further “Settings file”.)
If more than one data recording session occurs during
the same day (and therefore file names have the same
date), the suffix number is incremented to show which
are the earliest and latest files recorded on any given
day.
All files have the TSV (tab-separated values) text format
and can be imported and viewed in a spreadsheet
program, for example.

SD Card Format
The Data Recorder function only works with SD cards.
It will not work with SDHC or SDXC cards.
The SD card (maximum 2GB, class 2) must be
formatted in FAT16 format. SD card driver compatibility
cannot be guaranteed for any SD card other than the
card with Gardner Denver part number ZS1067681.
Not all media card readers are able to read this SD
format. Issues may occur, especially with more modern
SDHC readers, so Gardner Denver also recommends
you use an official GD Pilot TS SD card reader: Part
number ZS1069300.
