.

  NEAR TP:        

This sets the recording (logging) interval, which is used as the glider nears the 

Turnpoint

.

         2s

Inside this radius around the TP, the logging interval (as set above) is used. Radius can be from

0.1 – 2 km.

   

1.0km    

Dimensions can be set by the user.

  PEV  INT:        

This setting defines the logging interval which is used after the 

EVENT

This determines the

 

number of fixes stored after the 

EVENT

         30

.

For example: If PEV INT 2s, PEV FIX 30 is set, then after the EVENT key is pressed 30 fixes, 2-

has been defined. After pressing ‘ENTER’ in the OBSERV. ZONE menu, the following sub menus will be
available. Use the ‘Up/Down’ arrows to cycle through the menu list.
