I recently renewed my license, which required a software update to 20201101. Since then the Logging page viewed in a web browser has been very different, can anybody say why and how to get back to the earlier display
What I have done so far:
The physical installation is unchanged
Checked power supply OK
Checked new license key OK
Tried various settings in the Config page, no benefit
Noted that the Config page no longer has checkboxes for adsb, nmea, nav, or trx. Where have they gone?
Attachment 1 shows the Logging screen as it used to be, Attachment 2 shows what I see now.

Hi Colin
this has simply been a tidy up of this information
The logging page is constantly under review, and is _really_ only intended for developer usage when we need to get at information from a unit exhibiting a fault
thx

Thanks Lee.
I'm using the Rosetta as a monitoring tool and I have a Python script that reads the Logging page, extracts $PFLAA and other NMEA sentences and then constructs kml files for viewing on Google Earth. I would be very dismayed to loose this capability- is there any NMEA output nowadays?

Hi Colin
I am sorry, but this is not the intended use of the logging page
I would recommend you do the following
Firstly I presume you have another computer connected via WiFi or Ethernet ?
use the netcat/nc program to stream the data directly
$ nc <paw-ip-address> 2000
alternately in python, connect a listening socket to <paw-ip-address> TCP/2000
This is the correct way to do what you are doing.
If you are using WiFi to connect to PAW, you can also use a UDP listener
$ nc -lku 2000
again, in python setup a listening socket on UDP/2000
Thx

Thanks again, I was about to ask about reading the P3i data directly, but I will try your suggestions first.

Perfect!
I went with your Python suggestion.
Not seeing much PAW stuff of course, but seeing all the usual NMEA sentences, which I can easily patch into the existing script.
Many Thanks
