gvFieldslogger

gvFieldslogger is a cross-platform, open-source field data logging tool designed to collect, store, and export measurements from sensors deployed in outdoor or remote environments. It is intended for researchers, engineers, and field operators who require reliable data capture over extended periods.

gvFieldslogger can ingest data from serial devices, USB sensors, network streams, and local files. It records time-stamped measurements and attaches metadata such as sensor identity, units, and geolocation. The software uses a modular architecture with input adapters, processors, and storage backends.

Configured via a YAML file, users define sensors, sampling intervals, and storage options. Data can be written to CSV, JSON, or SQLite databases, and can be exported to analysis tools. The tool also provides simple processing features, such as unit conversion, resampling, and data quality checks, and can publish data to cloud endpoints.

gvFieldslogger supports a command-line interface for automated, headless operation and a graphical interface for setup and testing. It is designed to operate in environments with intermittent connectivity and provides mechanisms to resume logging sessions after interruptions.

Typical applications include environmental monitoring, agricultural trials, hydrological surveys, and geotechnical experiments.

Development is community-driven; the project is open-source and hosted in public repositories. It welcomes contributors to add input adapters, storage backends, and processing plugins, with documentation and examples available to new users.
