Default Does SeeYou have a separate Validation DLL?

Folks,


I know I should post this to the SeeYou forums, but I'm

I'm looking for a SeeYou DLL in the prescribed IGC format

Eric - The validation DLL is logger-specific and supplied by

the
logger
manufacturer. So, check the IGC web site or your

logger-vendor's
site ?
See ya, Dave "YO electric"


Should have clarified further. =A0 SeeYou supports downloading

IGC-Approved loggers, specifically Garmin. =A0 =A0In so doing, it

its own proprietary Security Record (G-Record). =A0 =A0I want to

there is a DLL which would validate files downloaded under this

The security record (G-record) is generated in the Recorder for
IGC-approved recorders.


Garmin does not create a G-record, so there is nothing to

validate,
s=

there is no purpose in a Validation DLL.

Do you mean using SeeYou (the program on a PC) or using SeeYou

Mobile
on a PDA with the Garmin as a GPS/NEMA source? in which case yes

there
is a G record created. But since the Garmin+SeeYou Mobile

combination
is not an IGC approved logger there is no IGC validation program,

and
no point to having one. The only benefit AFAIK is those files are
useful for OLC.

This has nothing to do with the IGC or the sporting code. =A0This
relates to another initiative.

Your question may not have anything to do with the IGC but the kind of
obvious answer (there is not one) does. The combination you are
talking about is not an IGC approved logger or intended to be
therefore unlikely anybody would create an IGC specific validation DLL
for it.

Darryl

Actually, I believe you might be wrong there. There is a DLL to validate
Garmin files downloaded with G7toWin, so it could be feasible to have a
DLL for SeeYou (probably a different algorithm, so the G7toWin DLL will
not work). It's just a question of someone being prepared to put in the
effort.

None of which will make the files IGC approved of course.
