It is recommended to keep the instrument ON for a few minutes
after landing; this will ensure base line of baro trace. Simple wait
until a very significant message on the display will appear;
This shows that flight recorder is terminating the flight and data security
operation is in progress. After calculation of security, statistics page will
be replaced with
Log book

or flight download process can start.
8.3.1 Downloading of flights
LX Zeus can full interact with Colibri II in case that Colibri is used as a flight recorder. That means that
downloading of in fact Colibri flights is possible after operation on LX Zeus. The flights will be finally stored
on USB stick. After no connection to Colibri II the unit (Zeus) will produce its own “flights”, which are not
IGC conform. The structure meets IGC standard and therefore such flights could be evaluated by any
program which accepts .IGC data format.
In case of Flarm (RB IGC version) connected to LX Zeus, its flights will be stored to Flarm SD card,
without any Zeus interaction.
