Portable Data Recorder raw data is stored unencrypted on a microSD card in an application-agnostic, binary format. TDG publishes the binary data structure, allowing end-users to parse and import the data in to any analytics tool or database.
The volume of data that is recorded, particularly when operating at maximum sample rate, is in excess of what a basic data tool such as MS Excel can support. In sticking with the non-proprietary concept of the Portable Data Recorder, TDG has developed an initial data application using the open-source R computing language/environment that allows viewing, filtering and interacting with recorded data. This application is self-contained and can be run from a USB flash drive or installed on a machine locally, and runs in any modern browser. It is readily edited, revised or expanded by end users and TDG will continue to expand the functionality with pre-built reports and functions as specific use-cases for the Portable Data Recorder are established.
A basic use-case may be a particular pump or motor valve operation that is recorded for several minutes while being exercised. A pre-built report is established that will quickly generate a shareable document (interactive or static) that can be used to report on health of the system or assist in troubleshooting. This report is added to the software application menu and used ad-hoc as necessary or implemented routinely as part of a broader maintenance programs effort.
