When I try to import sonar logs made with Humminbird onix10 SI I get an error about "Illegal characters in path"

the recording is a .dat file (I guess pointing at a .son file), anyway I get the error below. I have tried to put the files at different locations but I still get the error. right now I got them at B:\data\rec00002.dat

Illegal characters in path.

Thanks - that is a strange one. Any chance you could zip up the .DAT and associated subfolder (containing the .SON and .IDX files) and share to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ?

Incurred the same issue with ver3.3 Onix. Hope I'm able to bring the file in. Currently trying to find a lowrance to get mapping in for a meeting coming up

Incurred same issue on ver 3.3 Onix

Yes, it's an issue with the new HB file format used in ONIX and SOLIX. We will be releasing an update later this week with provisional support for these files (not perfect, but enough to bring in depth data and use the sonar viewer). We have already issued an update to our standalone Sonar Viewer application so it would be interesting to know whether your files can be viewed OK in the latest version of that.

Hi, I am having this issue now with the sonar files from one solix, but not another, with the files collected on the same day.
Edit: fixed with the update
