  • 1 log entry (with human readable tags) = 126 bytes
  • 1 log entry (without tags) = 65 bytes
  • chirp header data (log num, power info) = 6 bytes
  • GPS data = 35 bytes (with header)
  • IMU data = 72 bytes (with header)

Baud Rate: 1200 Transmission Window: 2.3 min

(1200 bits/sec)(60 sec/min)(.125 bytes/bit) = 9000 bytes/min

  • Max data transmission from 2.3min human readable log data dump: 165.6 log entries, ~2.8 hours of log entries
  • Max data transmission from 2.3min raw data log dump: 318 log entries, ~5.3 hours of log entries
  • Max data transmission from 2.3min chirp header data dump: 3450 log entries, ~57.5 hours of log entries
  • Max data transmission from 2.3min GPS data dump: 591 GPS readings
  • Max data transmission from 2.3min IMU data dump: 287 IMU readings

1 log entry includes: log num, status byte, battery current, battery voltage, solar panel current, GPS (date and time, latitude, longitude, altitude), IMU(gyro xyz, acceleration xyz, compass xyz), command data IMU, GPS, and command data will be zero if component is off or no commands were recieved*
