[amsat-bb] Historical Data download for FOX-1A?

[Chris Thompson]

Hi Bill,

You can download all of the data for AO-85 from this link:
http://amsat.org/tlm/ao85/serverlogs.tar.gz  That contains the raw data in
CSV format.  For Fox-1A the conversions are defined in the back of the
manual for FoxTelem.

As Jerry said, your best bet might be to use FoxTelem.  You can save the
data as a CSV file from any graph.  Even if it plots multiple channels.
That allows you to save converted data in human readable form and do
further analysis in another program.

I'm more than happy to walk you through how to do this and help extracting
or converting the data.  Let me know how I can help.
