Default Colibri II *.hdr file software

Apparently there is a difference between setting a task and making a
declaration in a Colibri II. I can import a task easily enough from a
*.cup file, and modify it on the logger. It leads me around the task as it
should, bleeps at the turnpoints, and directs me to the next one.

If however, I decide to take a few detours for fun, the C records appear on
the IGC file at points that look like the OLC trace, and the task seems to
have been forgotten.

By the manual, it appears I need PC software to generate a declaration
header *.hdr file to put on the SD card, where it can be loaded. USB
connection to the logger is not supported, even though a USB connector is
used for the power and data interface that converts TTL levels of serial
communication to RS232.

I don't have any of the devices claimed to declare to these loggers, so I
do need the PC software. The LX-NAvigation LXe software does not generate
files that can be saved to an SD card, but I'm under the impression that it
has done so in previous versions.

I can find NOTHING about the *.hdr software anywhere, and LX-Navigation and
a North American dealer that still sell Colibri II's have not replied to my
queries. I don't know anyone else that has a Colibri II.

Does anyone have this declaration header *.hdr software?

Thanks!


You might want to look at the Approval Document at http://www.ukiws.demon.co.uk/GFAC/igc_approved_frs.pdf ; in particular, para A5 talks about declarations.

What version Colibri firmware do you have (you see it in .IGC file)
What version LXe software?
What analysis software do you run (StrePla, SeeYou, other?)
Where in the world are you?
