Logger settings

Do NOT disconnect a logger while the logger settings window is open. Premature disconnection while data is being transferred can lead to unrecoverable data corruption.

In Download-only mode all logger settings are read-only (see Modes of operation).

Logger

The correct type of logger MUST be selected as the data retrieved from it may otherwise not be processed correctly.

The CIMA approval status of each type of logger is displayed. Approved loggers MUST be used in FAI championships unless CIMA has specifically issued an exemption, (possibly with conditions) for a unapproved logger type to be used in that championship.

Pilot

Name: The usual protocol is to use the same name as used in the analysis and scoring systems which should be in the format Given Name (lower case) FAMILY NAME (upper case). Accented characters should NOT be used, but be replaced with their non-accented equivalent.

Nation: The usual protocol is to use the FAI three letter code. (FAI uses the Olympic system which is slightly different to the ISO system, eg ISO - DEU = FAI - GER).

Competition number: The competition number of the pilot. Must be less than 999 to meet the CIMA Specification.

Primary secondary Etc.: Pilots often carry more than one logger on a competition flight. This identifies which logger this one is. The normal convention is that only the data from the pilot's primary logger is used in analysis unless there was some sort of technical fault in which case the secondary data is used.

Operators should be careful not to register pilots with duplicate primary or secondary loggers as this could cause confusion in the flight analysis. If in doubt, cancel any settings changes and check the list of registered loggers from the Info menu. Note this will not be a definitive list if the pilot is using another logger type which cannot be downloaded by FRDL such as an MLR, so check the list of registered loggers in that software too.
