I am running ARISSatTLM software to receive the data from the ARISSat-1 satellite. I have seen several mentioning sending .csv files with data. Is the ARISSatTLM capable of generating a .csv data file? Perhaps a cut and paste of the data is done. I have used print screen to capture what I have recorded. Is there a much better way to record the data? I feel like I have missed something somewhere. At first I did not have much success receiving the data. I think I was trying too hard. One day I was getting disgusted with it all and just did nothing, no tuning, no nothing. I received 9 frames of data perfectly. Once again the philosophy of "if it don't stink, don't stir" applies. This satellite has added many hours of fun to my amateur radio hobby. 73, -James, W5AOO
Hi James,
The CSV files are created automatically. You should have an "ARISSatTLM" folder on the desktop of your computer, created during the installation. Look in there, under the "Telemetry" folder.
That was easy, wasn't it? :) Gotta love those kind of fixes.
Glad you are having fun and success with telemetry collection. It's been fun for me, too.

Mark & David,
Yes indeed, the csv files are there! I am sure somewhere there was mention of this but in my haste to get going I did like most and did not read the instructions.
I have been a ham for 50 years and have never had so much fun as I am having with satellites. I am a newbie and at times a slow learner. I just hate the fact that I have just recently discovered the satellite side of amateur radio. My assumption was that a large antenna array was needed. Once again I did not read the fine print as I have been active on VHF and UHF from day one. Perhaps it is good to get into the program as many of the satellites bite the dust. You sure cannot drag your feet as the satellite may lose a battery or be a shooting star at any time.
Thanks! 73, -James, W5AOO
