Hi Jim,
Tim Shirley suggested changing the Cambridge internal battery. I did
this (the voltage jumped from 3.0V to 3.3V) as a precaution but
will have to wait until the next flying day to see if it made any
difference.

Jarek
BTW
I run WinPilot 9 on a HX4700

Jarek.
I run winpilot on my ipaq 3890 and it gets data from the flarm
(ozflarm) I get the same steps on the trace from winpilot. I have
checked this with 2 different flarm systems in 2 different gliders and
it is the same problem. So unlikely to be lose wires etc. I have no
idea why it does this. I am troubleshooting atm and am going to try
the volkslogger to feed winpilot instead. The strange L/D info is the
program trying to adjust the calculation from the steps
Its odd because on my traces the stepping is intermittent. If you find
a solution let me know.

Hi,
I’ve already emailed Ian McPhee about this but perhaps someone has
an idea what could be the problem.
- No trace in the Cambridge recorder.
- The PDA connected to the Cambridge recorded the
flight (WinPilot) but with the date of 23/01/1994.
- In flight, I experienced some strange final glide
and L/D required calculation by WinPilot.
- The barogram when loaded to SeeYou appears as a
series of up-and-downs of about 200+ ft. vertical range:

[1] (the flight is invalid because I manually changed the HFDTE record
to the actual flight date)
- HFFXA100 record - fix accuracy is 100m, should it
be better than this?
I’ve checked the internal battery voltage, Cambridge Aero Explorer
reports 3.0V.
I’ve been using this instrument for a few years but never seen
anything like this.

Jarek
