[CA] [CA11] Axiom XL card readers

Mig888,

Q1. Can a third A80440 be connected to the two Axiom XLs?
A1. Negative.

Q2. If i am able to get CMOR to put the files of its charts on a USB memory stick instead of a micro SD chip, would the Axiom read the chart just as if it was on a micro SD chip?
A2. While untested and would officially be unsupported, this would appear possible. I have verified that LightHouse 3 will utilize LightHouse Charts which have not been encrypted from a thumb drive which in turn has been interfaced to the MFD's A80440 RCR-SD-USB-Card Reader. I have further verified that LightHouse 3 software will automatically populate the thumb drive with a LightHouse_ID.txt file ... a requirement for being able to then populate a memory device with LightHouse charts. CMOR charts for Raymarine products utilize the same cartography encryption scheme used for LightHouse charts.
