Frequently Asked Questions

How can I change the sampling rate?

Enter the settings page of Motion Data Logger and select your preferred sampling rate. This rate will be used to set the update rate of the hardware sensors. However it can not be guaranteed that sensor data will be delivered to the app in that exact sampling rate.

Which tools can I use for analysis?

Due to the mostly supported CSV file format you can use a wide range of tools to analyze your collected sensor data. It is easy as pie to import the data to Microsoft Excel, Apple Pages or even R.

How do I connect my Dropbox account?

Open the settings page of Motion Data Logger and tap on Dropbox.
