e-obs logger generate a lot of different data. We offer some proccessing tools with the Data Decoder but mostly leave that to the experts themselves. Please check out our paper library for details on specific analysis. Here some 3rd-party software recommendations that will get you started:

3rd-Party Software

Firetail

This analysis tool is tailored for e-obs and perfect for visualizing and analyzing e-obs sensor data. It allows you to handle large, multi-year projects with billions of samples and interactively create data drill downs to select key time windows and regions – quickly and effi ciently.

Animal Tracker

The Animal Tracker app allows to follow the move-ments of animals being tracked by GPS using live feeds in Movebank. Users can animate recent movements, view information about the research project and indi-vidual animals, and contribute photos and notes about the animals or their habitat that are sent to the data owner.

Movebank

Movebank is a global repository of animal movement data with a comprehensive set of tools for storing, managing, viewing, sharing and analyzing animal movement data to start your analyses. It hosts the data from thousands of animals over hundreds of taxa and is a lively hub for networking and cooperation. The data from e-obs cellular tags are automatically uploaded to Movebank.

Data Decoder

The DataDecoder is your primary tool to process recorded data. Please make sure to always use the latest DataDecoder version. New devices (BaseStations and/or animal tags) may have a new version of onboard software (firmware) which requires a new DataDecoder! Generally all new DataDecoder versions can also process data (logger.bin-files) coming from older devices, therefore it is normally not necessary to keep older DataDecoder versions.
