CAI 302 date problem
I flew yesterday (26 October) and had two hours, later I used the
Cambridge utility on my PDA to download the flight log from the Cambridge 302. First thing I noticed was that the utility said the flight was 111 hours long, and that the date of the flight was 21 October. I later checked the log file in See You and it thinks it was 21 Oct. also. I then noticed that I had not reset the date in my PDA after replacing the battery a few weeks back, it thought it was 2002. However I can't see how the date in the secure .igc file could or should be affected by that. The only other thing I can think is that when I last flew (17th Oct ), I flipped the master switch off rather than doing an orderly shutdown on the 302. Any ideas? |

Does the data in the file look OK when you look at the flight in SeeYou? Did the Cambridge utility complain about any security failures? I'm curious and will look at the file - if you want to attach the file to an email and send to me (or try posting it on OLC). Darryl |

Thanks Darryl,
I will post the file on the OLC when I get home from work this afternoon, and email it to you. The file looks complete in See You. The CAI utility did not complain about it's integrity. We also wondered about the internal battery in the 302, but after checking the manual I cannot even find any suggestion that one exists. I know that the earlier Cambridge models had them. The manual states " Flash memory is used for firmware as well as flight logs. " Regards, Bernie. |

First is the name of the file correct? Not the date but the actual name of the file, should be a 0AQxxxx file name. If that is correct the 302 is fine and it is the date on the PDA that is the problem. The PDA will store the file under the current date it thinks it is. If the file name is different then it is likely a 302 problem. |

CAI 302 date problem
Thanks Tim.
I will check the file name tonight when I get home. (I'm in Australia, we are working right now!) I would have thought that the date in an .igc file would have been derived from the GPS satellite data. Certainly, when I copied the file from the PDA to my PC, it was timestamped 2002, as per the PDA. If the .igc file also said 2002, I would tend to agree with you. But just 4 days earlier? Regards, Bernie. |

Mr. Baer, from 13,000km away I believe Mr. Taylor has the answer.

SeeYou and any other sane software will derive the date/duration of the file from the IGC file HFDTE record and B record timestamps and does not care what a file is named. And no software will care about the filesystem time stamp on a file. What is going on should be obvious within the IGC file. If the download utility did not complain about security fail then the battery backup should be fine. Darryl |

CAI 302 date problem
Google on the 302 Data Port User's Guide. I don't see any way to set a date shown in that manual. It does mention another document called the Secure BIOS User's Guide that may include such details but I've never been able to find a copy of that document anywhere.
