Introduction
Telonics Download Utility ('DU') is a program designed to facilitate the downloading of GPS data stored on
board the Telonics Gen2 and Gen3 systems. The data are converted to readable form and files are created. The
delimited files can be directly accessed using Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet programs. The other file format
('aux') may be read using a text editor program.

Features

and / or other data analysis tools.

What's New in Version 1.41?
- Added compatibility for use in the Windows Vista operating system.
- Added ability to find available COM ports for use in data download.
What's New in Version 1.33?
- Corrected a comma delimited (.csv) file generation bug that caused the 2D fix data in the 'Latitude' through 'Satellite Data'
columns to be offset one column to the left.
What's New in Version 1.32?
- Added the ability to process existing downloaded binary (.tfb) files without the need to re-download data from the device.
What's New in Version 1.31?
- Changed delimited data file extension from 'dat' to 'tsv' or 'csv'. The 'tsv' extension is applied to tab delimited files
and the 'csv' extension is applied to comma delimited files.
- The user may select tab or comma delimiters in the 'Configura
tion' dialog tab frame of the 'DU' program.
- The 'dat' extension was eliminated due to the following: Double-clicking on a file with the 'dat' extension while under
the Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating systems brings up a warning message cautioning the user against modifying the file.
Windows considers the file extension 'dat' related to system files that should not be modified. Changing the extension to
'csv' or 'tsv' also allows spreadsheets such as Microsoft® Excel® to list these files without looking for
'all files'.
