to change where TeleGPS reads and writes data files.
3.6.3. Callsign
This value is transmitted in each command packet sent from TeleDongle and received from an
altimeter. It is not used in telemetry mode, as the callsign configured in the altimeter board is included
in all telemetry packets. Configure this with the TeleGPS operators call sign as needed to comply with
your local radio regulations.
Note that to successfully command a flight computer over the radio (to configure the altimeter, monitor
idle, or fire pyro charges), the callsign configured here must exactly match the callsign configured in the
flight computer. This matching is case sensitive.
3.6.4. Imperial Units
This switches between metric units (meters) and imperial units (feet and miles). This affects the display
of values use during flight monitoring, configuration, data graphing and all of the voice announcements.
It does not change the units used when exporting to CSV files, those are always produced in metric
units.
3.6.5. Serial Debug
This causes all communication with a connected device to be dumped to the console from which
TeleGPS was started. If you’ve started it from an icon or menu entry, the output will simply be discarded.
This mode can be useful to debug various serial communication issues.
3.6.6. Font size
Selects the set of fonts used in the flight monitor window. Choose between the small, medium and large
sets.
3.6.7. Look & feel
Switches between the available Java user interface appearances. The default selection is supposed to
match the native window system appearance for the target platform.
3.6.8. Menu position
Selects the initial position for the main TeleGPS window that includes all of the command buttons.
3.6.9. Map Cache Size
Sets the number of map
tiles
kept in memory while the application is running. More tiles consume more
memory, but will make panning around the map faster.
3.6.10. Manage Frequencies
This brings up a dialog where you can configure the set of frequencies shown in the various frequency
menus. You can add as many as you like, or even reconfigure the default set. Changing this list does not
affect the frequency settings of any devices, it only changes the set of frequencies shown in the menus.
