New championship

Since FRDL backs up all files it finds on each logger to sub-folders it creates in the same folder as the championship configuration file, it is strongly recommended you create a new championship in a new empty folder. Warning
  • Select File - New Championship.
  • Select a location for this championship on your computer.
  • Enter a file name for your championship and click OK. The championship configuration file thus generated will have the file name extension .frdc
  • You will be taken to the Championship settings page.
  • And then the Task settings page.
  • FRDL will display Waiting for logger...
When a championship organizer is inspecting and configuring loggers before a championship it should be expected that all loggers presented by pilots shall have NO DATA on them. All data subsequently added to the logger will therefore only be associated with the championship and not mixed in with loads of tracks from earlier flights.

There is deliberately no function in FRDL for completely wiping a logger so this should be done manually using Windows Explorer or equivalent.

Info
Do NOT put your new championship configuration file in the same folder as the FRDL application file FRDL.jar or any sub-folder of that location because an uninstall or update of FRDL may destroy them. Since the application files are placed by default in "Program files" or equivalent, your operating system won't usually let you do this anyway, so it should not be a problem. Warning
As with any USB memory stick type device there is a risk a logger could contain malware such as viruses or trojans which may be invisibly installed on the computer. It is STRONGLY ADVISED you read the help item Protecting against malware and implement the suggested permanent solution before first connecting to any logger. Warning
