Could you send me a small file. I will need the .dat file, and the .son files in the coresponding folder. Looks like you have a new software version that has made changes to the header structure. Shouldn't be a issue to find out what has changed.

Got it! I will let you know.
 

Re: Humminbird Sonar Data File Converter and Playback Software - Download!

I didn't catch it to start with, but you are running old firmware 3.6. The latest is 4.180.

Have you registered your unit with Humminbird? You will need to do this to get the latest updates. The header file in your unit is much older and is not compatible with the HBSI converter. I have broken down the header and may add it to the HBSI structure, but it will be some time before this gets done. The easiest way would be to update the firmware.

Good Luck,

Robert

Re: Humminbird Sonar Data File Converter and Playback Software - Download!

I can probably fix you up a quick fix for the old recordings if they are important. The old 58 byte header was before I created the new HBSI converter.

Robert,

Would like to get the $INGGA string out of the 997SI realtime to go into a PC (serial) for input into a logging program which is storing other sensor info. Do you know the best way to do this? Can I get the GGA string directly from the GPS receiver (as a second device hooked up) or do I have to use the NMEA out function of the HB unit? The HB NMEA string that comes out of the unit has alot of other strings I don't need. Just wondering what the best way to do this is. I am not interested in playback, just in realtime.

Thanks,

Tom
 

Dumb question here from a guy who simply found this thread interesting:

To get greater depth, why not run your towfish a short distance behind a downrigger weight, suspended from a regular heavy duty fishing downrigger ? Easy to lower to a known depth and easy to retrieve. A surgical rubber tubing "snubber" could be used between the downrigger weight and the attachment for the towfish to help dampen any vibrations from all of the upline cabling.

Just an old engineers 2 cents worth.............................

I too have thought of doing this, since the humminbirds can link through a cannonlink downrigger, you can automatically raise and lower for depth.
