Turn-Point Observation Zone
OZTyp defines the Type of Observationzone (
either
Line (Start-/Finishgate)
or
Sector/Cylinder). (It is possible to define a Line as Observationzone for a Turnpoint, but
it should be used for Start-and Finsihgate only).
The Width of the Line is calculated by Multiplication of the two defined values. This
seems unusual, but a better way was prevented by the existing Structure of the Logger’s
Firmware.
OZType: Line
Width: 2 x 5 km
Observationzone Line
Width of Line (this: 2x5 = 10 km)
or
OZType: Sct/Cyl
radius:3km 500m
Observationzone Sector/Cylinder
Sector-Radius / Cylinder-Radius
Line Width:
Numeric
Range:
(0...15) x (0...15km)
Note:
0 = Line not present
Cylinder Radius:
Type:
Numeric
Range:
0…1500m in 100m steps
Note:
0 = Cylinder not present
Sector Radius:
Type:
Numeric
Range:
0…15km in 1km-steps
Note:
0 = Sector not present
15 = Sector with Radius Infinity (FAI-Sector)
Note:
The radii remain in metric units even though nautical miles are selected for distances.
The proper input of values for the Turn-Point Sector is a mandatory prerequisite for the
proper functioning of the following performance attributes of the VOLKSLOGGER
:
•
Acoustic signaling for the positive “rounding” of the turn point
•
Automatic switching to the next turn point within the route / task
•
Automatic change of the recording interval upon reaching the turn point
