Default Flarm IGC files on non-IGC certified Flarm?

My understanding is that the logger is an extra cost option on later
PowerFlarm Core Pure hardware. Without this option enabled, the unit
will NOT produce flight logs.

I'm somewhat confused with the functionality of the flarm core in regards to

I was never able to obtain a trace from my Flarm Core Pure.
I put the usb drive in, turn it on, wait for the light to settle to green, turn it
off, pull the drive - nothing.
Updating settings from the drive does work, so I'm reasonably confident that
the drive is being recognized.

Now, the unit does not have the IGC certification enabled. Originally I thought it
simply meant that the traces produces would not be properly signed to be
recognized as valid, but now I start questioning whether a non-IGC enabled Flarm
produces logs at all?

I don't need to use the Flarm as a logger, but I did want to feed a file to the
range analyzer to evaluate antenna placement.

Does anybody have an experience with this?

Thanks,
