Logger
The Logger setup sub-menu holds all IGC logging - relevant settings. The Event function is an
IGC mandatory function which, for a set period of time, changes the logging interval from the
regular ’Interval’ value, to the ’Event interval’ value, which is usually more frequent.
In the past, the event function was used because less internal memory was available for flight
logging and consequently less frequent logging intervals were set as standard (5s). When
the event button was triggered, the logging changed to the ’Event interval’, thus ensuring your
ticking of the sector was captured with a high enough resolution.
In present times, event buttons are frequently used in new types of competitions starts, where
the pilot marks his intention on actually crossing the line, hindering the pack instinct.
The moment at which the Event button is pressed is captured in the .igc flight with an event sen-
tence, which is why it is useful for all kinds of tests, when we wish to mark a certain point in time.
The following options are available in the Logger sub-menu setup:
•
Interval
•
Event interval
•
Event fixes
•
Start speed
The

sets the IAS at which logging will begin, as depicted in
