Title: iStation saved flight data files cannot open
Post by: psjvent on June 17, 2013, 03:39:11 AM
 :o Hi Luis. In the beginning, after Istation was installed, registered and running, I could save the recorded data and re-open it for later exporting to a KML file. Lately, iStation keeps saying the files are not readable when I try to load them again. Any Advice on correcting these again?

Dear Sir,

This feature is working properly in the latest version of iStation.  What version are you running?

Best regards,
Luis

Hi Luis,
The About Box says 2.0.1.0.

It use to work in the beginning, but now it gives the error. If I open the data files in Word it is a lot of numbers separated by spaces.

Kind Regards,

psjvent,

You are using the latest iStation version.  Is this working for you already?

Please check that you have your PC's regional settings with "." for decimal place.  Otherwise you may expect some funky behaviour with DAT files.

Best regards,

Hi Luis,

Checked again and the decimalis a ".". Also, this lates version is the only one I have had installed since the beginning, thus no change at all.

Could it perhaps be from a windows update that was done since the initial install?

Kind Regards,

Pieter Venter

Hi Pieter,

If you are trying to open .DAT files from a previous iStation version (i.e. 1.X), these will not be readable by the 2.X version.

Check whether this might be the issue.  Feel free to PM or email me for speedier response.

Best regards,
Luis Gordo

Hi Luis,

Sorry for coming back now only. Had to sort out a broken throttle quadrant first before taking to the air again.

I've never had any other version before this version of iStation. Still to date I could not sour out the voice control either. But for now I need to resolve data file issue. Even with the latest version I record a few seconds, save it, and when trying to open it thereafter, it tells me it cannot read the file. Regrettably no change yet.

Kind Regards,
Pieter.

I have exactly the same problem.
2 hours ago I saved a data file and was able to re-open it 2 minutes later.
Since then I have done nothing except shut down the computer (while I had dinner) then re-started it - no updates just normal startup.

I have tried to load previous data files to see if thie one saved was corrupt but none will open.
Most other functions seem to be working normally.

Folks, send me your DAT files.  I dont know what may be wrong, but all the tests I have carried out so far show the feature works perfectly.
I can test with your DAT files to see what the problem may be.
