Signature Mismatch While Doing SD Convert

[Scottie-GNZ]

Tried to convert an SD log file last night and got the following error dialog:



I am assuming this to mean the firmware on the laptop does not match the MS3. Upgraded to 1.3.1 recently and have not had a problem until now. Recently I opened an msq posted by someone here and wonder if this could have caused the change in my project properties.

How do I get my project to match the MS3 again?

TIA,

Did you notice that the second signature was totally empty?

This means that the chosen log file is empty or corrupt.

Be gentle with me

The file size of the 2 logs from last night is the same as previous good logs so I am assuming they are corrupt. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

James? Anyone? Nothing has been changed since it last worked. Only thing that was done since was to download and look at an msq from the forum and that was done while offline.

Appreciate any feedback.

Is this on every log file on the card?

Try wiping the card or deleting some log files?

Thanks, James.

Must be some kind of voodoo going on here as it seems 17 must be the magic (black?) number. I had 15 log files and 2 small text files when this started, maybe all of 50mb. Since they are also in the datalog directory, no need to keep them on the SD card.

Thanks again.

I have had this happen pretty much since I started logging data 2 years ago. In my case it seems the MS3 creates a valid log followed by an invalid one. I activate and de-activate my data logs manually with a momentary toggle switch input. Usually I pull the SD card right after returning to the pits from a timed run, insert it into my laptop, run TS and ask it to convert the most recent log. Unfortunately it is almost always one of these invalid logs, which means I have to repeat the sequence to get to the previous log on the card and convert it. It is getting kind of old.

I would attach the unconverted logs but the forum wont let me because they are larger than 716KB and they appear to be not simple text files so I dont know how to edit them down.

The "very last log" should be created as a hidden file. Make sure you aren't trying to convert that one as it is empty by design. It is there so that when you press the button to start logging, MS3 can start logging right away. Otherwise, creating a logfile from scratch can take a number of seconds.

So - perhaps you have "show hidden files" enabled in your operating system?

Yep, that is it. Thanks.
