4.2 Data transfer
In the memory of the 6020-GPS are saved all data entered by the pilot, such as waypoints,
Routes, pilot’s name etc., as well as the automatically by the instrument recorded tracklog-
points of the flights being performed. Each one of these points contains the time of day,
position, GPS-altitude, barometric altitude, as well as the flight speed. In this way it is
possible to graph the Barogram, Variogram, Speedgram and the track (course) of the flight
over a map presentation for later analysis. With Flychart 4.52 it is even possible to retrace
the flight on the PC-monitor in three-dimensional mode over the corresponding territory.
For this purpose the software program Google Earth needs to be installed.
4.3 Data exchange via PC
The basic equipment of the 6020-GPS includes a data cable for a USB PC interface
USB Mini B. Due to this feature data transfer can be carried out in both directions.
The data transmission is effected via serial interface COMX with: 57.600 baud; 8 databit;
1 stopbit; no parity, Xon/Xoff.
Using the USB interface the 6020-GPS can also be operated for data readout and entry:
•
entire instrument configuration (Basic Settings, User def. fields)
•
list of waypoints
•
list of Routes
Only readout of flights saved in the flight memory is possible.
Important: for transfer of a.m. data the 6020-GPS must first be switched-on and the relevant
program for data transfer has been called-up, before the connection cable to the PC is
plugged to the 6020-GPS.
Important: at first the USB driver as provided from Prolific has to be CD installed. Upon
installation of Flychart the USB driver installation is effected automatically.
To perform data transfer the instrument needs to be switched to the Main Setup Menu
by prolonged pressing on the
OK
key.
Please observe the instructions of the software being used for transfer of stored flight data.
(For most software programs it is required to shift to the Flightmemory resp. to the Flight-
Analysis mode).
There are various software programs available for creation of IGC-files, partly even for OLC-files.
For more detailed information please check hom
We recommend the use of Flychart which can be downloaded from the
website.
With Flychart all instrument settings can be effected comfortably on the PC.
