3.4 Downloading Data

Once you have clicked the Stop button and the measurement is com-

pleted, you can download and work with data by using any of the following methods:

TAKE NOTE Refer to the G4 LD

Utility Manual for information on downloading and viewing data with G4.

LEARN MORE For tips on working

with raw data, see see “Working with RAW Data Files” on page 3-12

• Download and view .hvm2 files in G4. The HVM functionality in

G4 requires a license.

• Download raw data files. You also need to specify storing data

with this option on the Setup tab during measurement setup. See

"Selecting a Setup File Using Your Mobile Device" for more information.

• Use a third-party tool. Because .hvm2 files are stored in JavaS-

cript Object Notation (JSON) format, you can copy the data file from the removable SD memory card and work with it in any tool compatible with the format.

3.4.1 Working with RAW Data Files

RAW data files can be created with each measurement, if the Setup File has checked “Store Raw Data” on the Setup Tab, see “Figure 3-6 Operation Settings” on page 3-5.

While HVM200 is connected to G4, a RAW file can be downloaded from the Data Manager tab. The file will always be larger than an HVM file.

FIGURE 3-20 Raw Data File

HVM200 Reference Manual Downloading Data 3-12

The raw data file is a binary file that contains raw data samples in a float format for the x, y, and z axes after sensitivity has been applied. Each sample contains 12 bytes in the following format:

Byte 01234567891011

Definition X Axis Sample Y Axis Sample Z Axis Sample

The byte order within each float is little endian.

TAKE NOTE The resulting data will

be in acceleration, which is the standard method of displaying the data, and will need to be integrated into velocity or displacement if needed.

In order to work with a RAW file, you will need MATLAB, GNU Octave, or similar program. The following script can be used to parse the data. The file name will need to be adjusted to match the file name of your RAW file. After parsed, "Weighting Filters for Raw Data" to adjust weighting filters for hand arm or whole body vibration purposes.

%% Example Matlab / GNU Octave code for parsing HVM200 raw data format close all; clear all; clc; %% Number of Samples to read Sample_Rate = 7161.45833;% Hz (Hard wired sample rate) Sample_Time = 10; %second num_samples_to_read = Sample_Rate*Sample_Time;

Weighting Filters for Raw Data

The "isofilwk()" function comes from sample code taken from the ISO 8041 standard, and can be modified for other weighting filters using the desired parameters from Table 3-1 'Parameters and transfer functions of the frequency weightings (source: ISO 8041)'.

Use the following script and table to adjust RAW data file for hand arm or whole body vibrations.
