9.9 SD Card
It is recommended that the 6030 be used with an SD card installed since the instrument will keep a system log
file on the SD card, which can be beneficial when troubleshooting. The following files can be stored on and read
from an SD/SDHC card loaded into the 6030 SD card slot:
• Any number of flights (saved as secure IGC Files)
• Any number of waypoint and route files (file type .GPX only)
• An unlimited number of air spaces (file type .FAF only)
• Instrument configuration (file type .CFG only)
Important! The SD card must be formatted FAT or FAT16 (which can be accomplished on a PC) and all folders
(directories/subdirectories) and file names must be 8 characters or less. To avoid data loss or other malfunction,
SD cards should only be inserted/removed when the instrument is switched off or in the Main Menu. It is
recommended that you periodically backup the contents of the SD card they are not infallible.
Saving Flights to SD card:
At the conclusion of the flight (after the Digital Signature is generated), the flight will be saved to the SD card as
an IGC file with a file name according to the IGC file naming convention. After a moment, the saving of the IGC
file to the SD card is confirmed in the lower portion of the display with the IGC file name. To manually save a
flight recording from the 6030 flights list to the SD card go to Menu>Flight memory & tracks, press the OK key,
select the desired flight from the list and press the F1 (Copy to SD) key. IGC files saved to the SD card can be
read by a PC with a SD card reader.
Remote transfer of flight recording
If you have a smart phone with a Micro-SD card slot, you can transfer your flight to a online competition or a
competition scorekeeper directly from your mobile phone. Using a SD card adapter, insert your phone’s micro
SD card into the instrument, save the flight as described above, then insert the micro SD card back into the
phone and transfer the flight via an online contest server or as an email attachment.
Save/Retrieve waypoints and routes on the SD card
Waypoints and routes that are saved in the 6030 memory can be saved to the SD card. Conversely, waypoints
and routes lists can be saved to the SD card via a PC in GPS eXchange format (.gpx) and then imported into
the 6030. The waypoint list in a 6030 can be saved to the SD card prior to loading a new list so that the original
list can be reloaded at a later time. Additionally, waypoint lists can be easily shared between 6030 pilots using
an SD card.
