Transferring track logs to your PC
C-Pilot EVO makes available several ways to transfer track logs to your PC.
USB transfer
In the track-log page (Figure 41), select the flight that you want to export and press the “export IGC”
button. C-Pilot EVO will ask you to create an IGC file in the USB memory or to export the IGC file
into the SD memory card. If you want to transfer the file via USB, select this option.
The IGC file name will be set following the FAI standard, for example: 2009-12-20-XXX-xYYY.igc.
To the standard filename you can have your name and/or competition number added automatically,
depending on your settings in the pilot page (page 24).
Each file will include the digital signature (G-Record) created by C-Pilot EVO, which will be used by
validation programs to check for file integrity. The track points stored in the IGC file will be at the full
resolution of five points per second if the “Fast export” checkbox was not checked, or a subset
depending on your setting.
Now you can activate the USB port of C-Pilot EVO from the connection page (see page 18) and
connect it via the USB cable to your PC. You have to activate the connection first and only then
connect the cable.
Your PC will detect C-Pilot EVO as a generic mass-storage device (you don’t have to install specific
driver with Windows XP or newer operating systems and Linux), that will appear as a new disk.
Inside it you will find a folder named “tracks” that will contain your IGC files. Copy the one of interest
to your PC just as you would do with a file.
When done, do not forget to do the “safely remove hardware” procedure on your PC, then press the
“back to menu” or “back to navigation” buttons to deactivate the connection.
SD memory card transfer
This is avery fast procedure. In the track-log page (Figure 41), select the flight that you want to
export and press the “export IGC” button. C-Pilot EVO will ask you to create an IGC file in the USB
memory or to export the IGC file into the SD memory card. If you want to save and then transfer the
file via SD CARD, select this option. The file will be saved in the tracks folder of your SD memory
card.
Serial-port transfer
Even if slower than the USB transfer, the serial connection is still widely used in competitions of all
levels.
