Setup & Config

The Setup tab gives essential context for every analysis session. Before you trust a graph or spectrum comparison, confirm what file you are looking at and which configuration values belong to it.

What to verify first

• Looptime and sample rate: these influence frequency interpretation
• PID settings: useful when comparing before and after tuning changes
• Craft type: helps explain different motor layouts and control behavior
• Source context: whether the file came from config, maintenance, or a flight BBL record

Why setup context matters

A resonance signature only means something when you know the control loop and configuration context behind it. If two logs were recorded with different firmware settings, filter stacks, or mechanical setups, visual similarity alone is not enough for a reliable comparison.

Units and interpretation

Internally, timestamps are handled in microseconds and converted for display. Some orientation data follows Betaflight Blackbox conventions, so always interpret angle data in the context of the analyzer visuals rather than assuming a generic aerospace convention.

Source badges

On the main Log Analyzer list, saved files carry a source badge. This is useful because a configuration-related BBL can answer different questions than a flight-attached BBL from a real tuning session.
