Default Jeti Data Logging and Data Display, Useful or Useless? Now w/Video

Recently we have gotten many questions about how data logging and the capability to immediately display data on your transmitter screen post flight can help you become a better pilot. There are many areas where the Jeti system answers all your questions giving you detailed information about performance of individual components that could explain, improve or even prevent a catastrophe. We have to remember that the Jeti Transmitter is a scientific instrument and in our hands it will become the indispensable tool which helps us with improving performance, enjoyment, and safety of our hobby.

Jeti systems enable you to display, modify, delete, zoom in/out, and compare sets of data at any time without using the computer. All of this happens in your hands at the field. Once you finish your flight you will be holding all the answers to your questions in your hands. The Jeti System displays the activated alarms and all telemetry data right in front of you.

Post-Crash Diagnostics (Unfortunately in Happens)

Rx A1Antenna Signal Strength Did we lose any of the antennas, were they shielded or damaged?
Rx QSignal Quality Was the 2.4Ghz spectrum clear, any interference?
SBECOutput Voltage Did we lose power over the flight?

Is this display information available on all Jeti transmitters or only the DS/DC-24?

I use a DS-16 and use the data log after EVERY flight to check my batteries and antennas. Also, I check my air pressures for trends if I am using more or less during retraction, extension, and braking.

What I will wish to see, is the ability to grab the last known GPS location of the last flight on screen again after I power down the Transmitter, assuming I have a mGPS on board the plane. I don't want to carry a notebook to download the telemetry file and translate it in order to do so (which is what it is today).

This can be a real life saver to find a plane lost in the woods.
Currently GPS lat long cannot be displayed as a playback.

Only screenshot can do that, just do not power anything down. Or like I did, take picture with your phone.
I am sure somebody can make custom LUA script for GPS location, new Jeti DS/DC-24 can display whole map on the screen.
