transfer
All data entered by the pilot, including Waypoints, Routes, pilot’s name, etc. as well as the
automatically recorded track log points of the flights undertaken by him are in the memory of the
FLYTEC 6040 GPS. Each of these track log point 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, speed gram and course of the flight on a map for later evaluation. In Flychart 4.52
it is even possible to show the flight on the PC monitor in 3D on the corresponding landscape.
For this purpose the program Google Earth needs to be installed, along with an active internet
connection
6.1 Data exchange via PC
The basic equipment of the FLYTEC 6030 GPS includes a data cable for a USB PC interface USB Mini
B.
Due to this feature the data transfer can be carried out in both directions. The data transmission
is effected via serial interface COMX with: 57.600 baud; 8 data bit; 1 stop bit; no parity; Xon/Xoff.
The FLYTEC 6030 GPS can also be operated for data readout and entry via USB interface:
•
entire instrument configuration (Basic Settings, user defined fields)
•
list of Waypoints
•
list of Routes
Only readout of flights saved in the flight memory is possible
.
Important: for transmission of a.m. data the connection cable to the PC may only be
plugged into the FLYTEC 6040 GPS, after the instrument has been switched-on and the
program required for the data transfer was called up.
Important: at first the USB driver from Prolific included in the scope of supply needs to be
installed from the CD. For the installation of Flychart the installation of USB driver is effected
automatically
To perform data transfer the instrument needs to be switched to the Main Setup Menu by prolonged
pressing on the Menu key.
Please observe the instructions of the software being used for transfer of stored flight data.
(for most of the software programs it is required to switch to Flight Memory resp. to Flight
Analysis mode). There are various software programs available for creation of IGC-files, partly even for
OLC-files. More detailed information under
We recommend the use of Flychart which you may download from the Webs
.
With Flychart it is possible to perform all instrument settings comfortably on the PC
