This MAY work.....

power up your HDS and go into the simulator files configuration. Set the xtf file as the source. Now run the simulator - go to structurescan and hit "record all channels". You should have an sl2 when its finished.

Your depth data should already be in an slg file created alongside the xtf.

I'm a Lowrance mapping partner so have access to the HDS emulators. They aren't available in the wild unfortunately !

Annoying. I've done this on my (real) HDS1 with no problems at all - what model are you using ? It may be that Navico have closed this particular avenue of pleasure......

Its a HDS 7 Gen2 Touch....

The file that is created upto that point doesnt even work - guessing it doesnt get saved correctly when it restarts. I get this error if i try to load it into RM

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

I'm not using DEMO mode - I'm using the simulator mode.

Aaaaah i think that sorted it!! Didnt realise you could turn off the demo bit and just simulate - Still getting used to the unit!! .... seems to be working now (its got alot further than before anyway - still going, theres about 20 mins of log to get through)

Fingers crossed!!!

Thanks very much for your help!!!!

"Simulate" can be used so that you can sit in the boat and go through logs without having to stick the card in a computer and get all geeky. The only thing missing is fast forward / pause etc....

hope it works for you.

I'm interested in this. Have some old xtf files from a few years ago. How do you pick up the file to replay in the HDS?
