CATS for Windows
The CATS for Windows software allows you configure the AFC-877, upload flight data to your PC and graph the data. It also allows you to download new firmware revisions to the AFC-877 and to manage data files. It will even display in-flight telemetry data when used with the AGTS/1 system! The many features of CATS for Windows include: Upload flight data from your AFC-877 to your laptop Save and load flight data to and from disk Import existing flight data text files (and export them too) Enter flight notes that will be saved with your flight data files Display a summary of the flight data Graph altitude, speed and acceleration, combined and separately Print those same graphs Calculate and graph CD and thrust curves Export thrust data in RASP format Edit flight configurations Save the current flight configurations so it's available next time Download flight configurations to your AFC-877 Download new firmware to your AFC-877 Display in flight telemetry and GPS data Record and playback in flight telemetry and GPS data There's comprehensive online help included with CATS for Windows, and it's also fully covered in the User Manual. CATS for Windows has been verified to run under Windows 95, 98SE, XP, 2000 and ME. Download the CATS for Windows zip file, unzip the contents to a temporary directory and run the included setup.exe. When it finishes, you'll find a shortcut to CATS installed on your desktop, and a program group in your start menu. There are a handful of flight data files included with the installation, so that even if you don't have any data in your AFC-877 at the moment, or even if you don't own a FC-877, you can have a look at what you can do with the program. » Download V2.02 [July 9, 2005] Now!

	CATS for PalmOS
CATS is also available for PDAs that run PalmOS. It will even display in-flight telemetry data when used with the AGTS/1 system! CATS for PalmOS has much of the fuctionality of the CATS for Windows, including: Upload flight data from your AFC-877 to your PDA Enter flight notes that will be saved with your flight data files Display a summary of the flight data Graph altitude, speed and acceleration, combined and separately Download flight configurations to your AFC-877 Display in flight telemetry data from the AGTS/1 telemetry system The download contains the CATS PRC file and four sample flight data PDB files. Double click on the CATS.PRC file and any or all of the flight data files, HotSync your Palm, and you're ready to go. (It'll take a while for HotSync to transfer the PDB files, so be patient.) The minimum requirements to run CATS are: Palm OS 3.5 is the minimum OS version required, but Palm OS 4.0 or greater is strongly recommended. A serial hotsync interface is required. Models with this feature include the Palm m125, m130, m500, m505, m515, Tungsten T/T2/T3/C/W and Zire 71, and various models of the Sony Clie. Many newer PDAs are USB only and will not work with CATS. There's also a mechanism to transfer the flight data from your PDA to Windows. With the CATS conduit installed, all you have to do is plug your Palm into its cradle and press the HotSync button. The flight data files on your Palm are transferred, converted to the Windows file format, and saved in the directory that the Windows version of CATS has been using to store its data files, all automatically. Using the HotSync mechanism rather than having the Palm pretend it's an AFC-877 has the additional advantage of being able to use the higher speed offered by USB. A typical flight data set will be transferred in thirty seconds or so. » Download V1.53 [Nov 4, 2004] Now!

	CATS conduit: Palm/PC connection software
The CATS Conduit is a plug-in for the Palm Desktop for Windows. It allows you to transfer flight data from your Palm to your Windows PC, literally at the touch of a button. Using the conduit is about as simple as you could imagine. Once you've installed it (complete instructions are included in the zip file), all you have to do it plug your Palm PDA into your HotSync cable and press the HotSync button. That's it! As the HotSync process occurs, the conduit copies the flight data (and any flight notes you've entered) from your Palm to your PC, and even puts the files into the same directory you've been using to store flight data on your PC! » Download V1.00 [Apr 28, 2003] Now!
