It allows to read the track files and extract all meta data from it. All conversions happen with the same algorithm as inside the logger.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<p>The software serves to<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Analyze track files and read marks and goal declarations. The coordinates can be shown in all coordinate systems supported by the logger itself<\/li>\n<li>Export the igc files as Ozi track files or GPX files including conversion of the altitude (QNH, instrument error)<\/li>\n<li>Check digital signature of igc files<\/li>\n<li>Prepare SD Cards and write logger configuration to the SD Card<\/li>\n<li>Download tracks from the logger internal flash memory. This function can be used to retrieve a track if the SD Card is lost or not readable<\/li>\n<li>Debug functions for logger including error log dump and factory reset<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The analysis function can be used in batch mode allowing the single click conversion and export of a full set of track files. The marks and goal declarations are written to an Excel file.<\/p>\n<p>All conversion functions (coordinate and altitude) are identical with the logger&#8217;s internal algorithms allowing the exact same coordinate conversion as in the logger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre-Requirements<\/strong><br \/>\nThe software requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5. This framework is usually already installed on most computers. If missing it can be downloaded from <a href=\"http:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/p\/?LinkId=397703\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft<\/a>.<br \/>\nVisual Studio 2012 SP1 runtimes are required as well. It can be downloaded from <a title=\"Microsoft\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=30679\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft<\/a>. Make sure you install the 32-bit version, also on a x64 system. BLM always runs 32-bit.<br \/>\nThe software requires Microsoft Windows to run. Even though it is written in .NET, it also contains native code which only runs on Windows.<br \/>\nFor downloading tracks from the logger you also need the driver installed. See <a title=\"For Pilots\" href=\"\/index.php\/support\/driver\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Installation<\/strong><br \/>\nDownload either the setup software or the zip file from the website. The setup software is best for most first time installations. In case of the Zip file, the files must manually be copied to you user folder. In that case also no automatic pre-requirement check is done.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-downloadmanager\"><h2 id=\"downloadcat-8\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.balloonloggers.org\/downloads?dl_cat=8\" title=\"View all downloads in BLM\">BLM<\/a><\/h2><p><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"wp-downloadmanager-sprite\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><symbol id=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon-file\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M6 2.5h7l5 5v14H6z\" \/><path d=\"M13 2.5v5h5\" \/><\/symbol><symbol id=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon-archive\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M6 2.5h7l5 5v14H6z\" \/><path d=\"M13 2.5v5h5\" \/><path d=\"M11 3h2v2h-2zM11 6h2v2h-2zM11 9h2v2h-2zM10.5 13h3v3.5h-3z\" \/><\/symbol><symbol id=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon-audio\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M6 2.5h7l5 5v14H6z\" \/><path d=\"M13 2.5v5h5\" \/><path d=\"M10 18.5v-5l5-1.5v5\" \/><circle cx=\"9\" cy=\"18.5\" r=\"1.4\" \/><circle cx=\"14\" cy=\"17\" r=\"1.4\" \/><\/symbol><symbol id=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon-code\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M6 2.5h7l5 5v14H6z\" \/><path d=\"M13 2.5v5h5\" \/><path d=\"M10.5 12.5 8 15.5l2.5 3M13.5 12.5 16 15.5l-2.5 3\" \/><\/symbol><symbol id=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon-document\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M6 2.5h7l5 5v14H6z\" \/><path d=\"M13 2.5v5h5\" \/><path d=\"M9 12.5h6M9 15.5h6M9 18.5h4\" \/><\/symbol><symbol id=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon-image\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M6 2.5h7l5 5v14H6z\" \/><path d=\"M13 2.5v5h5\" \/><circle cx=\"10\" cy=\"13.5\" r=\"1.1\" \/><path d=\"M8 19.5l3-3 2 2 3-3.5 2 4.5z\" \/><\/symbol><symbol id=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon-presentation\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M6 2.5h7l5 5v14H6z\" \/><path d=\"M13 2.5v5h5\" \/><path d=\"M9 19.5v-3M12 19.5v-5.5M15 19.5v-8\" \/><\/symbol><symbol id=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon-spreadsheet\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M6 2.5h7l5 5v14H6z\" \/><path d=\"M13 2.5v5h5\" \/><path d=\"M8 12.5h8v7H8zM8 16h8M11.5 12.5v7\" \/><\/symbol><symbol id=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon-video\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M6 2.5h7l5 5v14H6z\" \/><path d=\"M13 2.5v5h5\" \/><path d=\"M10.5 13.5l5 3-5 3z\" \/><\/symbol><symbol id=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon-application\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.4\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M6 2.5h7l5 5v14H6z\" \/><path d=\"M13 2.5v5h5\" \/><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"16.5\" r=\"2\" \/><path d=\"M12 12.5V14M12 19v1.5M8.5 16.5H10M14 16.5h1.5\" \/><\/symbol><\/svg><svg class=\"wp-downloadmanager-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><use href=\"#wp-downloadmanager-icon-application\" \/><\/svg>&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.balloonloggers.org\/?dl_name=setup_blm.exe\">setup_blm.exe<\/a><\/strong><br \/><strong>&raquo; 1.4 MiB - 2,491 hits - August 8, 2019<\/strong><br \/>BLM Balloon Logger Management latest installation file<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLM has moved to Balloon Live.
