KEY BEEP: This allows you to select the beep that occurs when you
press a key or move the joystick on or off.

LOGGING RATE: This gives you the choice of tuning off the LOG
TRAIL or setting how often your position is stored in memory for play-
back in Demo Mode or to a PC. A total of 2000 fixes are stored in con-
tinuous wrap around memory (i.e. newest data overwrites oldest). To
calculate total logging time, divide 2000 by the logging rate per minute
(30 sec logging rate = 2 per minute). This will give the total logging time
in seconds (i.e. 2000 points divided by 2 = 1000 minutes = 16 hours 40
mins).

POSITION REF: This is the geographical item used to describe your
position to you in Map Mode. Please refer to the Map Mode Screens
Section of this manual for more details.

AIRSPACE ALERT: This allows you to turn on, off or set the distance
from an airspace boundary at which the alert annunciation is displayed.
May be set from 0.5 to 10.0 statute or nautical miles, whichever has
been selected in the MAP UNITS discussed previously.

Screens 22A, 22B and
22C, the Data Class
Setup Screens are
accessed by repeatedly
pressing Key 5, NEXT. If
there are too many items
to be displayed on any of
the data class screens
they will be split across
two screens. It is impos-
sible to include every
item from the database
within the graphic map
display, especially when
zoomed out to the smaller
scale maps. The Data
Class Setup Screens allows you to choose the level of zoom at which
you wish each of the classes of data to become visible and at which level
of zoom you want their corresponding labels to become visible. You can
also select different aircraft icons to represent your present position
when in Track Up mode, however zoom level settings are not available
for the aircraft icon because it must be visible at all zoom levels. You
can set many of the data classes display colors for both Topo On and
Topo Off display modes and also set the icon or line style for several of
the data classes.
