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.
