Profiles and Pilots

All LX8000 settings and navigational page look and feel are stored in a profile. Profiles can
be used in different ways:

•

For club operation or multiple pilots sharing the same glider. Each pilot can have his
personal profile.

•

When the user is flying a glider which can have a different wing spans. In this situation
the pilot has two profiles, one for each configuration.

•

When a pilot is flying in several different locations. A separate profile for each location
can be created (examples: France, Spain, Namibia, WGC2008).

An active profile is selected when LX8000 is powered on (see Chapter 7.1.2).

Use this dialogue to add a new profile, delete a profile, load/save a profile, change name for
an existing profile and to activate a profile. The active profile is the profile which is currently
being used.
Press

TO USB

or

TO SD

for the profile will be stored to a USB stick or SD card. A profile is

stored to a file with the

.lxprofile

extension.

Press the

LOAD

button to load a profile from a SD card or USB stick. A profile will be copied

to the LX8000.
Press the

EDIT

button to edit the profile name.

A  profile  can  also  be  locked.    This option  is  very useful  for  club  operation  where  one  does
not  want  a  global  club  profile  to  be  changed.    When  a  profile  is  locked  all  settings  will  be
read-only.
A  profile  file  can  be  opened  and  manipulated  with  the  LXStyler  program.    LXStyler  is  a
special  program  designed  to  customise  the  look  and  feel  of  navigational  pages.    It  can  be
downloaded free of charge from our web pages
