4.3 Running AltairSync
and
AltairSync-YYY-CRCZZ.exe
where YYY is a three digit version number, ZZ is a two digit hex
number representing a data integrity check sum, the value of which
will differ between different software versions.
Turn off Altair.
Insert the USB memory stick in the slot on the instrument
face.
Turn on Altair.
When Altair starts up, it will run the AltairSync utility.
This will copy all files in the ToAltair directory to Altair.
It will also copy data and configuration files (flight logs .igc,
profiles .prf) to the FromAltair directory on the USB mem-
ory stick.
If AltairSync detects that the storage memory on Altair is
low, it issues a warning and allows the user to select old files
to be deleted. After freeing up storage memory, the new files
can be installed.
Both upload and download is performed automatically and only
requires user intervention to confirm overwriting existing files etc.
Note: it is important to not turn Altair off while AltairSync is run-
ning, as doing so might leave corrupted files on the device. Special
