Exporting Logger Data

This guide explains how to download raw logger data from a device and convert it into usable .csv files for analysis.

Logger data can be exported using either:

• The Tauro Dashboard (manual download)
• The Tauro Cloud API (automation)

Both methods produce the same raw .bin file.

Step 1 – Ensure Logger Sync is Complete

Before exporting data, confirm that logger upload is complete.

On the device page in the Dashboard:

• Check Logger Sync Progress
• Confirm all expected blocks have been uploaded

See: Dashboard → Logger Export → Viewing Logger Status

Exporting before sync is complete may result in incomplete data.

Option 1 – Export via the Dashboard

To download logger data manually:

1. Navigate to the device page.
2. Click Export Logger Data.
3. Optionally specify a Start Block and End Block.
4. Click Export.

See full instructions: Dashboard → Logger Export

The result will be a .bin file downloaded to your computer.

Option 2 – Export via the API

For automation or integration with external systems, logger data can be exported via the API.

See:

• API → Authentication
• API → Logger Export

The API export returns: application/octet-stream

The downloaded file is identical to the Dashboard export.

Step 2 – Decode the Logger File

The exported .bin file contains raw logger data.

Use the Tauro decoder tool to convert the .bin file into .csv files.

The decoded files will match the formats described in:

Data Format → Tauro Collar Data Format

Choosing a Method

Use the Dashboard when:

• Performing occasional manual exports
• Reviewing data interactively
• Working with small datasets

Use the API when:

• Automating downloads
• Integrating with other systems
• Scheduling recurring exports
• Processing data at scale
