Ballast dump rate
is used for calculation of water dump rate. If dump rate is specified and
water dump input is installed, system can measure amount of dumped water and thus
automatically adjust ballast. Use this table to specify dump rate for a selected amount of
water. At least one point must be entered. If there is only one point, it means dump rate is
constant all the time.
Press
SPEEDS
button to enter speeds dialog. In this dialog all speed for glider and flap
labels are set. Speeds should be given for a reference weight.
Stall speed
is used to
generate stall warnings which are available only with the LX Voice module. For aircraft with
flap, it is also recommended to enter flap position labels and speed range for corresponded
flap position. Speed range shall be given for reference wing load or reference weight.
Once speed range is entered, the system will be able to display requested flap position
based on current wing loading and g-factor.

Profiles and Pilots
All settings and navigational page layouts 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, WGC2014).
Profile consists of two parts:
Navigational page layout
defines which navboxes and symbols are visible on
navigational page. It defines colour of navboxes, font sizes and colours, how many
navigational pages are visible and which modes are enabled. Navigation page layout
can be setup with LX Styler or on device itself (See chapter 6).
Device settings
includes glider polar, selected databases, selected airspace and
waypoints file, map colours, vario indicator settings and flight computer properties.
Device settings can be modified on device itself through setup menu (See
chapter 5.1) or with LX Styler.
An active profile is selected when the system is powered on (see Chapter 7.1.2).
