Sensor Data Files
Data acquired in Node Commander is stored in .CSV format and can be opened with
Microsoft Excel, Quattro Pro, Open Office, or another CSV editors/spreadsheet program.
Data in this format is easily uploaded to SensorCloud™ using the CSV Uploader. The data
files can be found on the host computer in the default directory or the location specified at
the beginning of the sampling session (as applicable). The files are organized in separate
folders by mode and then further categorized by date, session, and/or node serial number.
The default directory is:
C:\ProgramData\Microstrain\NodeCommander\Data
Synchronized sampling and low duty cycle files
are found in the Sampled Data folder,
and
streaming data
is stored in the Streaming folder.
Datalogging files
need to be
downloaded from the node to be available for viewing. They are accessed through
datalogging menus as well as the File menu, and are saved in the Downloaded Triggers
folder.
