Data transfer
The memory of the IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS contains all data entered by the pilot, such as
Waypoints, Routes, name of the pilot etc.,
as well as the automatically recorded track log points
of the flights which were performed.
Each one of these track log points contains 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 diagram 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 over the corresponding landscape.
For this purpose the program Google Earth needs to be installed, along with an active internet
connection.

Data exchange via PC
The basic equipment of the IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS includes a data cable for the USB interface
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 databit; 1 stopbit;
no parity; no Xon/Xoff.
The IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS can also be operated for
data readout and entry
via USB interface
:
entire instrument configuration (Menu all functions)
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
IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS
while it is switched-off.
The instrument shifts
automatically to PC-USB transmission mode.
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.
For transmission of a saved flight the instructions of the used software are to be followed.
Various software programs allow to create IGC-Files, to some extent even OLC Files.

We recommend the use of Flychart, which you can download from the website
www.flytec.ch
.
With Flychart it is possible to perform all instrument settings comfortably on the PC!

Flight instrument settings
All settings, such as pilot’s name, time zone, battery type and also all units for the display of
altitude, speed, temperature etc. may be set in
Main Menu
Instrument settings
to the
personal requirements.
By use of the PC software Flychart, it is possible to adjust all
characteristics of the instrument simply and comfortably, and to memorise and save them in a file.
The management of several instrument settings is also possible, which may be transmitted
again to the IQ-MOTOR-eco GPS at anytime.
7.1.2
Waypoints and Routes
Within the same Menu it is also possible to transmit in Flychart the Waypoints and Routes to
the instrument. Flychart is also suitable to import Waypoint files from SeeYou or CompeGPS
or Garmin for transmission to the instrument.
