Everytime I try and save one, there's nothing in the file when I try to reload. I remember something so time back about .CDR vs .FDR files or something, but I can't find it with a search.

You can't find the files in your computer or you can't find info on the difference between the 2 files? If you can't find them on your computer then use *.FDR or *.CDR in your search
I had this same thing happen turns out I had the sample rate set to the lowest rate so the device had not even sampled anything by the time I had tried to download it (usually about 5 minutes). When I would download it would say 0 bytes out of (whatever the maximum amount of memory was) used when downloading the info. There is no secret to the files you just have to find the file and open it and if there is nothing displayed then see if you are not using any memory and set the sample rate. Use the 10 Hz setting as it is the fastest the device is capable of.
I reinstalled the software and when I was setting up for the sample rate I noticed that it was set at the longest time.
The brushless sensor is OK but I do get a lot of erroneous data so to “fix” that I set the max RPM to a value that is just above the highest value attainable(Voltage X Kv) using bot wires as well since 1 just doesn’t work I was getting no reading then a reading in the 100K range.
I also bought the magnetic rpm sensor (haven’t used yet) and a temp sensor (and made 3 more with 10K NTC thermistors and some servo plugs). The temp sensors are great and helped me to see that my NiMh battery packs were getting over 200F while bashing. And I wondered why they were dying on me….
I really like the system although I think the sample rate is just way too slow. I can imagine that the peaks would be probably 10 times higher than what you see displayed. Granted it’s not really useful but it would nice to know, and it might catch something that might not be seen otherwise. For the money though its worth about 3 times what I paid for it.
