4.2 NXB Log
The NXB log file is the Nexus native binary log in NXB format. This log is identical to the
logs generated by the Nexus Race software. In fact, you can transfer this log to a
computer and play back the sailing session in the race software. The race software will
work identically to how it would work if you had recorded the log using it in the first
place.
You can enable or disable this log by changing a setting in the config file. To enable this
log, ensure that the following line is in the Race Box configuration file:
NXB_LOG_FILE=ON
If you prefer that this log not be generated, then change the above line to:
NXB_LOG_FILE=OFF
4.3 CSV Log
The CSV log is a log of the data recorded, but not in binary form. This log is text data,
where each different field of text is separated by a comma. This is commonly referred to
as “comma separated values.” You can very easily import this data into another
program for analysis. Many programs, including small database programs, and
spreadsheets such as Excel or Open Office, are readily able to import this data.
Once its read in, you can perform any analysis you like. For example, you may wish to
use a spread sheet to create a chart which plots both target boat speed (TBS) and boat
speed (speed through water – STW) to see how well your crew maintained the correct
target boat speed. You may also wish to chart the true wind direction (TWD) to see
what type of shifts you experienced.
You can enable or disable this log by changing a setting in the config file. To enable this
log, ensure that the following line is in the Race Box configuration file:
CSV_LOG_FILE=ON
If you prefer that this log not be generated, then change the above line to:
CSV_LOG_FILE=OFF
In the case of the CSV file, you can control how frequently the Race Box adds a line of
data. The fastest logging rate is 5 seconds. You can set it to another value, such as 10
seconds, like this:
CSV_LOG_INTERVAL=10
