Log should respect the imperial setting #131

And add timers in the log file too

I do not agree too much about units in the log..
You can change general settings in any moment how do we keep track of the units 
?
By adding them in the the field ?
So i really think that they should be kept MKS and maybe converted later in c9x.

Of course in C9x works too, what I mean is that we need a way to display logs 
in imperial.

That said I really doubt many people change their unit system more than once 
when they set the radio up the first time.

Doing it in C9X also means a second separate setting (see how people already 
confuse the separate RETA settings), and people who use other graphing software 
won't benefit.

Not really we can get imperial/metric from general settings of the current 
epprom if one is open.

That is the problem. When I play a log I open C9X and open the log, I never 
have an EEPROM open. Having to browse for a file or connecting the radio is 
just an annoying  step.

so the only opportunity is metric.
Or name the file in a different way:

modelname-yyyy-mm-dd-(M/I).csv

so no file may have mixed metric/imperial values...

Hmm why not... although again I doubt anybody would end up with a mixed file 
unless maybe the first day they use their radio and they forgot to set the 
right one...

Why I'd really like to have the logs in the correct format is that unless you 
do a megaton of work in C9X's log viewer it will never have as many features as 
a 3rd-party spreadsheet program like allowing setting different axes and manual 
bounds for each variable, delete lines, find min/max values automatically, ...

well any stupid spreadsheet is able to convert between feet and meters and 
between Celsius and Fahrenheit 
but I want to be sure we do not have mixed data in the logs
