flightConnect edit
FlightConnect Edit is a user interface where users can manage FlightConnect database files,
change settings to FlightConnect fueling software (DMS and LCR 600 units in the network),
and convert FlightConnect files into text files (and text files into FlightConnect files).
At the top of the FlightConnect Edit window, there are eleven tabs. Tabs are opened with a
mouse click. The first tab, Database Management, contains buttons which activate several
FlightConnect Edit commands and a window that displays the status of these commands. The
remaining ten tabs provide interfaces to specific FlightConnect database files. In these tabs,
new records can be added, edited, and deleted in the master database file.

fIle ConVeRsIon
The Read TXT and Write TXT buttons are helpful
in building and transferring FlightConnect files
and databases. Read TXT converts .txt files in the
FlightConnect database into .501 and .slf files. Write
TXT converts .501 and .slf files into .txt files. The check
boxes, to the right of the buttons, determine which
FlightConnect files will be converted by the two buttons.
The Select All button checks each box. The Clear
All button unchecks each checked box. The Success,
Errors, and Totals of each file conversion are displayed
in the columns on the right side of the window.
To use Read TXT and Write TXT:
1. Open FlightConnect Edit.
2. In the
Database tab, select the check boxes of the
individual files for conversion or click Select All to convert
all files.
3. Click Read TXT, to convert .txt files to .501 files, or
Write TXT, to convert .501 files to .txt files.
4. When the Select Folder for Source TXT Files (for
Read TXT) or the Select Folder for Target TXT Files
(for Write TXT) window opens, select a folder where the
converted .txt files (for Read TXT) or the .501 files (for
Write TXT) will be placed.
5. Click OK. The files generated will be placed in the
C:\DMS folder.
