Too many announcements

[Admin]

Hi Lerk

Putting your disk into a Windows PC will not help - unless it is running Windows 10 ?

You will need to download .trk files, either from a Linux computer, or by connecting to the PilotAware Wifi Hotspot and downloading through the web interface
http://192.168.1.1
Then select 'Tracks'

Thx

Lerk,

I find the quickest way to 'download' track files from PAW - after logging in to 192.168.1.1 then clicking on the 'Tracks' tab - is to pop a USB stick into one of the PAW ports and download direct to the stick (simply click 'Sync All' and wait 'til the scroll line finishes moving across the screen). Files can then easily be transferred onto your PC. They can be 'read' by (using Wordpad or Notepad on a Windows PC or Laptop), but they will probably look pretty much like 'gobbledygook' unless / until you get your head round the coding. In the case of serious issues, it's much quicker to transfer the files to Lee (Dropbox works well) as he can run them through his magic decoders much faster than we can do manually.

Best regards

Peter

Lerk, that's not the best way to find the log files.

Pop the card back into your PAW and boot it up.
Once running, connect your tablet or PC to the hotspot. open up a browser in your device and go to the home page. You will see a tab on the right called tracks. From this page you can save any tracks listed to the device or a USB stick connected to the PAW.

Edit: Pete types faster than me

Interesting!
Thanks for the heads up on extracting the track logs...

Just looking at them as a CSV gives something of an idea if not the full picture.
By rough guessing of our position and a process of elimination for the various columns of data, I think this is the point where the issues were occurring.
Using the easy jet above us I assume that all of the !G contacts at -2200 (2200' below?) are Gliders on the ground.

Doesn't explain why they continued after turning to 500' separation though, unless it buffers announcements when they first occur.

This explains it
The third arg is height in metres
Approx 500m is approx 1500ft
The outer gps zone is +/-2000ft @3km

That explains the audio
It was doing its job 

And yes would have already been sent to audio buffer
Ypu can search for audio in this file too, these are logged

You can reduce this field, please check the manual

Thx
Lee

Aha, I’d assumed the vertical separation applied to all contacts, but now I look closely I see that is just for bearingless targets. Is there no vertical setpoint for gps targets other than in SkyDemon??

Thanks for the assistance Lee.

Is the data format of the track logs available anywhere for Public viewing or is that your IP?

[Admin]

The data is amixture of
Nmea
Flarm dataport
Pilotaware

You can google flarm dataport spec

There are now vertical and horizontal filters for known position targets in the latest version of PilotAware too. You need to install version 20180520 available from PilotAware.lode.co.uk. Quickest is to update by .pgp via USB stick.

There are now vertical and horizontal filters for known position targets in the latest version of PilotAware too.

Well that's good news, especially for those who use nav programs where there are no facilities to apply filters. It's also good news for those who want to pipe PAW to their EFIS and set filters (I'm yet to see an EFIS where you can get PAW into it and apply filters at the EFIS).

The only thing I might say is that this additional facility needs some 'promotion' as the information on the latest update does not mention this:

This fixes a number of recent bugs including WiFi drops when receiving Aircraft Flight ID > 8 characters
Wifi Drops due to Connected devices going into standby mode
Also includes Code for Weather reception and GDL90 support
