G5 data logging?

[nauga]

Save me a trip to the airport and give me a head start planning some tests: Garmin makes it clear that the G5 is capable of logging data to a microSD card, but I can't seem to find details on *what* is logged. Can anyone tell me, or better yet point me to documentation that includes things like parameters, units, and formats (like precision and scaling, not just '.csv')? Dynon includes this in their documentation and I've gotten spoiled.

Nauga,
carpe datum

Be sure data logging is enabled and the newest firmware is installed.



Changes made from version 7.30 to 8.00:

• Added additional data to SD card flight data logging

Here’s a sample of a G5 log analyzed in FlySto.net

It also depends what version you’re running and if you have gad13 gad29 etc

How does one enable data logging on G5? Is it done flight by flight or does it happen automatically?

Thank you!
I am trying to figure out some AP issues. Shop said to get SD card but they did not know how to do it yet.
