Version 1.11 will provide
all of the features listed below in reference to the
GPS-NAV. V1.11 will not perform in the same manner with
the 302. You will have to use the utility program that is
shipped with the 302 for data management. You need to
download the flights from the 302 using the utility
program and then view them using the Aero Explorer. The
next release of Aero Explorer will include full
functionality with the 302.

New
Release of the PC Software V5.884
Due to overwhelming
requests we have released another version of the PC
Software that contains the fix for the time calculation
bug in V5.882. We have two options available. The first
is a patch that can be applied to V5.882 (easier and
recommended), or you can download and install the new
version.
The patch is a revised
file that needs to be copied into the C:\CAI folder (the
file folder on your C:\ drive that contains all of the
files that make up the PC Software). The file is a self
extracting executable that should be downloaded to a temp
folder. After downloading, using window explorer, open
the folder and double click on the file titled
caipatch.exe. The file will turn into a file titled
readlog.exe. copy the readlog.exe file to the folder on
your C:\ drive titled CAI. When you paste the new
readlog.exe file your computer will ask you if you want
to replace the existing file with the new one. Select
"yes". This patch is not language dependent.
To download the patch

To download V5.884, select
the desired language versions and download into a temp
folder. For detailed instructions click here.

Short Files
As requested by the IGC,
Cambridge has made available for downloading three files
for the conversion of .CAI files to .IGC format. These
files are to be used for the GPS-NAV.
- CONV-CAM
This program translates flight log files from
.CAI proprietary format to .IGC compatible
format.
- DATA-CAM
This is the Cambridge Aero Instruments data
transfer program, which
transfers flight log data from a CAI flight
recorder to a computer file.
- VALI-CAM
This program verifies the security status of a
CAI format log file.
Click here to download. Save the self-extracting file in a temp
folder. Go into the temp folder and double click the igcshort
file. It will self-extract into five files. Three are the
executables listed above and two text files with
instructions.
A version of these files
is available for the 302 and can be found at the bottom
of the 302 page.
