We have released a new version of the Hotwire software on our website that improves the functions of the data logging, and has the software for the new Rx8gen2.

There is no update for the RSgen2 esc and we are still using version 238. The initial Rx8gen2 units went out with 236 in them. Everyone should update to the final 238 version to make all features work correctly.

Data logging now has a cursor for exact values at a point and allows you to save and recall data log files. You do not have to have an esc plugged into the hotwire to open a data file for any gen2 esc.
Sorry... I get it now... I just noticed this post on another thread and deleted my dumb questions.... Many thanks....

When saving the data log files, can they be exported to a csv or other common format with the hotwire? I'd like to put the data into a spreadsheet and/or database for comparing my runs, etc...

Right now? No. In a future update? Probably, given the evolving state of this new feature and how many people have requested the option.

I haven't checked the .tek file, but maybe the data is nicely parsed and you can copy it out if you view it as a txt file?

.tek is encrypted for use within the hotwire app, you're not going to get at the data in it outside of hotwire app unless they provide the option to export or save as csv or something that is encryption free.

Many places should have product arriving and checked in next week. There are a lot of backorders so hard to say if any will show as in stock right away.

We do intend to add an export feature for the data logs. Likely a CSV file and you can have all the fun you want with it. We need to finalize a few more things before we commit to a standard format for the data.
