VII. Processing Data on Computer
To process the data, they must be copied or moved from the memory card
to the computer in any convenient manner.
If the operating system offers to execute a scan on the card, you should refuse this offer,
unless you have specific reasons to do so (see III.9). Scanning the card is recommend
only after transferring the data to the computer.
The software for data processing is available free at
www.yachtd.com
and works
on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X:
•
YDVR Converter software (also known as PC Software for Voyage Recorder)
allows generation of tracks in GPX format with extended sailing data (including
tracks of other vessels with AIS, weather conditions, detailed data about engine
operation, etc.), and can export data to a spreadsheet application and convert
files with recordings to other formats.
•
CAN Log Viewer is a free viewer, player and converter of files in .CAN format.
This format is used in the player mode of Voyage Recorder (see IX.).
Documentation for the software is available in electronic form along with the software
download.
