Transmitter description - Face-side connections
on the memory card. Within the “LogData” folder there
will be log files, that are designated with names in the
format 0001_year-month-day.bin, 0002_year-month-
day.bin, etc., in sub-folders named “model name”. If
a model memory is still “unnamed” the respective log
files can be found in a sub-folder designated “No-
Name” when the memory card is removed from the
transmitter and inserted into the card slot of a PC or
laptop. There is a PC program available on the trans-
mitter’s download web page at www.graupner.de with
which the stored data can be evaluated on a compat-
ible PC.
Importing voice files
As mentioned in section “Headsets”, here at the right,
the transmitter’s acoustic signals as well as those
signals and announcements associated with the »Te-
lemetry« menu can be output by way of the headset
connector. These announcements are made in Ger-
man language by default. These announcements are
summarized in a voice packet which is stored in a
transmitter-internal memory but can be replaced by a
voice packet of a different language at any time. More
information about this can be found in the section
»SECRET MODE« beginning on page 34.
Transmitter firmware updates
The transmitter firmware can be updated and – if
necessary – replaced at this menu point, using the
procedure described in the previous section entitled
“Importing voice files”; the screen language can also
be changed here. For more details of this please refer
to the section entitled “SECRET MODE” which starts
on page 34.
Updates and more information can be found on the
product page for your specific HoTT transmitter; see
the Download section at www.graupner.de.

If the card has not previously been inserted, the
transmitter first creates a number of folders on it;
this is indicated in the transmitter’s base display by
a card symbol which slowly fills from left to right. The
memory card is ready for use as soon as this anima-
tion ceases.
You can remove the prepared memory card from the
transmitter when required, and insert it in a suitable
card reader. Connect the reader to your PC or laptop,
and copy the files – previously downloaded from the
Download page for your transmitter – into the appro-
priate folder. Now remove the memory card from your
card reader and insert it in the transmitter once more.
Removing the memory card
Press the SD or SDHC card a bit further into the
card slot to release the slot’s latch then pull out the
memory card.
Data acquisition / storage
The storage of data on the SD card is coupled to the
flight timer. If this timer is started – when a suitable
memory card is inserted in the card slot and a te-
lemetry link to the receiver exists – data acquisition is
also started. Data acquisition will stop again when the
flight timer is stopped. The flight timer is started and
stopped as described in the section »Timers (gen-
eral)” on page 162.
The amount of data written on the memory card is
presented as a black bar graph (
) which grows
from left to right as data fills the memory card .
After a data acquisition session is finished, there will
be an (empty) folder “Models” and a “LogData” folder
The transmitter’s card slot for type micro-SD and
micro-SDHC memory cards becomes accessible
once the right face-side cover has been turned away.
Although a memory card is supplied as standard, the
slot also accepts any standard commercial micro-SD
memory cards of up to 2 GB capacity and micro-
SDHC cards of up to 32 GB capacity. However, as
a manufacturer we recommend the use of memory
cards no larger than 4 GB as this is completely ad-
equate for all normal situations.
The type of memory card to be used in the transmitter
is that known in conjunction with digital cameras and
cell phones. It is to be pushed into the slot, contacts
up, until it latches, see photos above. Once the mem-
ory card has been inserted, the transmitter’s cover
flap can be closed again.
If the standard memory card is inserted – or another
card which has already been inserted in the transmit-
ter at least once – then the card is immediately ready
for use when the transmitter is switched on. When the
transmitter is switched on again after inserting such
a card, the stylised memory card icon appears in the
base display:
