GPS-Logger 3

GPS-Logger 3 SM-Modellbau 2750

Item number: 2750
EAN: 0086544919176

A fully-fledged 10 Hz telemetry GPS with micro SD memory card, TEK Vario and acceleration sensor!
The new version 3 replaces the GPS-Logger 2 and remains fully compatible.

The new hardware offers
- a new GPS module for better GPS reception even under difficult conditions
- further improved pressure sensors for even finer vario resolution with less noise
- a horizontally aligned TEK connection for easier installation, especially in narrow hulls

The GPS-Logger 3 is a fully-fledged GPS system that has been specially developed for the needs of modelling.

It is extremely small and lightweight, but has outstanding features and capabilities.
With a recording rate of up to 10 Hz and the micro-SD memory card, almost any length of recording with high detail resolution is possible.

Telemetry via 2.4 GHz systems with a return channel is an integral part of the GPS-Logger 3 and is fully integrated.
In line with our philosophy of supporting as many systems as possible, the GPS-Logger 3 also supports telemetry from:
- Jeti Duplex
- Multiplex M-Link
- Graupner HoTT
- Futaba
- JR DMSS
- FrSky
-Spectrum (via spectrum adapter)
- PowerBox Core

The telemetry used only needs to be specified once in the settings of the GPS-Logger 3. This is done either via our ‘GPS converter’ PC programme or with the UniDisplay. HoTT is selected by default.

The GPS-Logger 3 realises a high-quality vario with a built-in high-resolution pressure sensor via the telemetry and also enables the use of compensation nozzles with the integrated TEK connection. This provides a vario function that displays true climb and sink very accurately regardless of the ‘stick thermals’.

A second pressure sensor is installed for precise altitude measurement, even when operating with a TEK nozzle, which provides correct altitude data regardless of the speed.

The built-in 3-axis acceleration sensor provides information about the loads during flight. The acceleration of all three axes can be displayed at every waypoint in the recording and also via telemetry.

The new competition format OLC, the Online Contest, is also optimally supported by the GPS-Logger 3. The built-in noise sensor (ENL = engine noise level) provides data that automatically recognises the engine running times during climb. The IGC file required for the OLC is created directly on the memory card and digitally signed; no conversion software is required.

When operating with Multiplex M-Link, all data on the sensor bus is automatically logged by the GPS-Logger 3 and also written to the memory card > MSB data logger.

In addition to its own measured values, the GPS-Logger 3 can also read out the complete data from our UniLog 1 + 2 and UniSens-E live via a direct connection cable and write it to the memory card.

All measured values from the GPS-Logger 3 can be viewed live via our UniDisplay. All settings and alarms can of course also be conveniently programmed via the display.

The data is displayed and analysed in 3D in Google EarthTM. To convert to Google EarthTM format, all you need is our free ‘SM GPS Converter’ software and the standard version of Google EarthTM, which is also free.

Our GPS-Logger 3 is also supported by the well-known LogView software. Here the GPS data can also be converted into the Google EarthTM format. In addition, the values can also be displayed in normal curve / table form and much more.

The GNU DataExplorer for analysing the data is Java-based and therefore also suitable for Mac or Linux in addition to Windows.

Whether glider, aerobatic aircraft, helicopter, HLG or slowflyer, the GPS-Logger 3 can be used in almost any area due to its low weight and compact size. Of course, the GPS-Logger 3 is not only suitable for model flying. It can also be installed in RC boats, RC cars, etc.

And this is what the GPS-Logger 3 can do:
- 10 Hz GPS, i.e. 10 readings per second particularly good data resolution
- micro SD memory card virtually unlimited recording and easy data readout
- Data is saved as plain text on the memory card. Further processing possible with many programmes
- High-resolution vario with TEK connection
- Height measurement with second pressure sensor with automatic zero setting after switching on
- Integrated 3-axis acceleration sensor up to +- 16 g
- direct creation of the IGC file for the Online Contest (OLC) with integrated motor noise sensor for ENL measurement
- full telemetry support for Jeti Duplex, Multiplex M-Link, Graupner HoTT, Futaba, JR DMSS, FrSky and Spektrum (via Spektrum adapter)
- Direct connection of UniLog 1 + 2 and UniSens-E possible for data recording (not during Futaba, JR DMSS and FrSky operation)
- Recording of all data on the Multiplex sensor bus during operation with M-Link
- Connection for receiver signal for remote control of certain functions
- Recording of the receiver battery voltage
- Power supply from receiver battery

- Internal backup battery (rechargeable battery) for a quick start of the GPS
- Start of recording can be set using various conditions
- Current status is signalled via three LEDs
- direct viewing of the measured values live with our UniDisplay (not during Futaba, JR DMSS and FrSky operation)
- Parameter settings possible via PC, UniDisplay and telemetry
- Quick conversion of the data into 3D visualisation with Google EarthTM using our free ‘SM GPS converter’ software. The programme is available free of charge on our homepage www.sm-modellbau.de under the menu item Software & Updates.
- Support from the LogView software
- LogView is a very comprehensive yet easy-to-use evaluation programme for the PC that supports a large number of different measuring and charging devices from the modelling sector.
- Support from the GNU DataExplorer software
- GNU DataExplorer is just as comprehensive as LogView and is suitable for Windows, Mac and Linux.
- free firmware updates via memory card possible (the firmware file is available on the Internet at www.sm-modellbau.de under Software & Updates)
- Can be used almost anywhere due to its compact size and low weight
