23 Configuration Options
In addition to the login details the config page allows you to make several configuration
changes:
First you can select between European, Brazilian and other regions depending on
which part of the world you fly in.
The callsign field allows you to enter the callsign of your own aircraft. If the aircraft is
transmitting 1090 MHz ADS-B out this signal will then be removed from the traffic
reports in order to avoid false alerts and the transmitted baro altitude will be used
instead of GPS altitude.
The tracking slider allows activating and deactivating the 10 minute tracking feature.
There are no costs involved for you as the end user so we recommend leaving the
tracking on at all times. It improves the general satellite reception because the device
communicates with the satellite more often.
The firmware control allows updating the ADL170/180 firmware. Firmware updates are
loaded by WiFi.
Finally the AHRS buttons allow calibrating the AHRS. Please refer to the AHRS section
for more details.
24 Your first weather download
Go to the Download page. Select Radar / Infrared / Strikes / Minima: Download and
Wind / Temps: Download. Select an appropriate flight level range for the wind data.
Finally select one ore more ICAO codes for which you would like to download the
METAR and or TAF. Then press "Single ADL Download" and the download will start. A
satellite download will take an average of 2 minutes but this can vary a lot depending
antenna and satellite position etc.
Please note that Iridium satellites move very fast over the sky. Thus, the reception will
vary all the time and a bad or good connection at a single moment does not say much
about the general quality of the reception.
