Check with Byron and/or the web site. However, I think that the GEEZ
software will handle the download.

The normal approach for most people (or at least for me) was to download at
home.
The g-Analyst can store 8 minutes BUT, as I recall every time you kill
external power to it, such as restarting older cars, the memory "fast
rewinds" to the start and you need to quickly "fast forward" to get past
previously recorded runs to prevent overwriting them.

The only potential advantage of the g-Analyst is the display for at event
playback. I found that it was not much use to me in a Lotus, Mustang, or
Formula Ford.
If the $$$$ Math works out even close, I would get the G-cube and forget
the g-Analyst. The lowest price Palm Pilot that Byron recommends will store
a zillion runs reliably until you get home to download them.
