v4.0 Datalog Frequency

Post by oakbarn »

I would like to see both 3 Hours and 6 hours as a choice in the Frequency. With 3 hours and 4 Channel Mode you could sample for 16 days which would cover Ale Fermentation. 6 hours would allow 32 days for a lager.

The longer the duration, the less meaningful the data becomes. Even at 3 hours, your fermenter could cycle up & down several times that you may not see the fluctuations with such a long duration. My personal opinion is that this is an area where the API comes into play and you could log closer data points over an extended period of time. Additionally, any power outage or reset of your BCS is going to lose the log history where an external logger app wouldn't.
