The CSV data file format  is the same as the for data file generated by C.A.T Manager for PC.

The table below gives an explanation of the available fields:

Field Field Explanation Notes
Serial Number Unit serial number  
Version Not Used Schema version – Reserved
Log Reference Not Used  
Plant Number 16 free characters User editable - requires C.A.T Manager
Free Text 70 free characters User editable - requires C.A.T Manager
Date Date(dd-mm-yyyy) gC.A.T4 time
Time Time (hh-mm-ss) gC.A.T4 time
RTC Updated Indicates if the RTC has been updated using a GPS source GPS models only
Depth Measured Metric / Imperial/ None  User configured Depth Units - requires C.A.T Manager - + models only
Metric / Imperia l/ None    
Signal Strength Bargraph %  
Power Power signal received as % of scale  
Radio Radio signal received as % of scale  
Genny 33 kHz Genny 33kHz signal received as % of scale Presence of this signal indicates that a Genny was used
Genny HF Genny HF signal received as % of scale Absence of this may indicate that the Genny was used only in induction mode and not in direct or clamp mode
Sensitivity Control Sensitivity (Gain) control as % of scale  
Mode Mode in use Power, Genny, Radio and Avoidance, Unit OFF (Used to indicated the GPS Lock mode, if a valid GPS has been acquired), Hard OFF
Depth Mode Line / Sonde Indicate type of depth measurement
Warnings Disabled Enabled / Disabled Indicates current status of Warnings (Strike Alert and Swing). They momentarily de-activated by the user in the field.
Swing Warning Yes / No / Disabled Yes indicates that the C.A.T reported a Swing Warning
StrikeAlert Warning Yes / No /Disabled Yes indicates that the C.A.T reported a StrikeAlert Warning
Battery Status Good / Poor / Critical  
DOP Status Normal / Protecting Indicates if the DOP (Dynamic Overload Protection) is active (Protecting) or not (Normal)
Overload Warning Normal / Overload Overload indicates that the C.A.T recorded an overvoltage status
Blade Angle integer scale figure Angle in the plane of the receiver, passing through the central vertical axis
Paddle Angle integer scale figure Angle of the plane perpendicular to the plane of the receiver, passing through the central vertical axis – imagine using the C.A.T as a canoe paddle!
Power Audio Indicator 1 or 0 1 Indicates that the C.A.T is giving audio feedback for a detected Power signal
Radio Audio Indicator 1 or 0 1 Indicates that the C.A.T is giving audio feedback for a detected Radio signal
Genny 33 Audio Indicator 1 or 0 1 Indicates that the C.A.T is giving audio feedback for a detected 33KHz Genny signal
Genny HF Audio Indicator 1 or 0 1 Indicates that the C.A.T is giving audio feedback for a detected HF Genny signal
GPS Date DD/MM/HHHH or MM/DD/HHHHH  
UTC HHMMSS.SS  
Horizontal Dilution GPS Data  
Altitude In Meters  
Geoid INVALID/METERS  
DGPS Time GPS Data  
DGPS ID GPS Data  
Geoid Units INVALID/METERS  
Number of Satellites Number of satellites used  
GPS Fix NO_GPS_FIX / GPS_FIX /  ESTIMATED / DISABLED  
Altitude Units Invalid or Meters  
Latitude GPS Data  
Longitude GPS Data  
Time Reference System, GPS, Unused  
Heading GPS Data Degrees
Ground Speed GPS Data Km/h

 

NOTE: Location information is only available for gC.A.T4 locators, if a valid GPS location was recorded
