Overview
The MÄK Data Logger is an easy-to-use system for capturing and replaying simulation data. Using the intuitive GUI, you can record HLA or DIS messages to a file and replay them to review and critique simulation exercises. The Data Logger provides standard DVR-like features including pause, fast forward, and slow motion (both forward and backward), to create more effective demonstrations and analysis. Velocities and accelerations are scaled during non-real-time playback, to facilitate a smooth display in the MÄK Stealth or Plan View Display.
An interactive, visual display of your simulation’s timeline allows you to zoom to an area of interest, jump in time with a single click, or select a portion of a recording for playback. An object statistics graph demonstrates how the number of objects in your recording changes over time. You can bookmark key events or highlight intervals of time by creating and visually positioning point and range annotations. Jump to your annotations by name, or loop on a particular interval during After-Action-Review. Much like an audio or video editor, the MÄK Data Logger allows you to visually edit your simulation recordings: Cut out unwanted sections of your recording, create new Logger files by merging, offsetting, or concatenating existing recordings, or break a long scenario into individually playable sections.
Logger Toolkit API
You can embed Data Logger functionality into your own applications using the Logger Toolkit API. You can also use the API to build plug-ins to extend or alter the functionality of the Logger application. This gives you complete access to the stream of data, allowing data filtering, data modification, and conversion into alternate formats. A Logger File API provides direct offline access to the data stored in MÄK Logger files.
* Visual editing capabilities available Q1 2007
** Toolkit API requires a VR-Link® Developer’s License.
