6.4. Basic settings
The settings of the GPS-Logger 2
can be made with our software “SM GPS Konverter” on
your PC or laptop, with our UniDisplay, or via the Jeti or HoTT telemetry.
The settings are always backed up in parallel in the GPS-Logger 2 and on the memory card.
When using the PC software “SM GPS Konverter” new settings are written to the card, these
are then taken up next time you start the device.
In this way it is possible to use different memory cards for different models and
automatically get the correct settings.
The following settings are important so the GPS-Logger 2 can measure correctly :
"
Telemetrie Auswahl“
specifies the telemetry used.
"
Datenrate
" selects the recording speed
The higher the value the larger the recorded file, but also the fine detail is recorded more
accurately. In model operation 10 Hz makes a lot of sense to capture all the detail.
“Startmodus”
sets the recording start method. See section 6.6.
“UTC Zeitzone”
defines the time zone fixed relative to UTC time (=universal time). E.g.
in Germany in summer time set to UTC +2, in the winter set to UTC +1.
“Vario Schwelle”
is the threshold for the Vario signal via telemetry, and a Vario tone is
only generated via telemetry if the climb / sink is greater than the threshold.
“Vario Ton”
sets whether the Vario is active during climb / sink or both. The Vario tone
can also be switched off completely here.
“Vario Faktor”
specifies the factor by which values are multiplied by the Vario for
telemetry. Normally it is 1.0 so that the actual m/s can be displayed. However in special
cases with a factor greater than 1 the tone output of the transmitter can be made more
sensitive if the transmitter itself cannot do this.
“IGC Modus”
specifies whether the GPS-Logger 2 records an IGC file.
This is a special operating mode activated for competitions of the Online Contest (OLC)
where a digitally signed IGC file is written on the memory card. This file can be used
directly for the exchange of competition flighs. More under section 9.
“Autostop”
sets the recording stop. See section 6.6.
6.5. Telemetry Alarms
These alarms are output via the connected telemetry to the transmitter. Depending on the
system a beep is sounded and / or there is a warning by voice output.
Once the model has landed the acoustic output stops automatically to ensure that no
disturbing messages are output before the model is turned off.
“Hohe”
The alarm is active as long as the set level is exceeded. Well suited for a
tow plane to fly to a certain level.
“Speed”
The alarm is active when the set speed is exceeded.
“Entfernung”
The alarm is active as long as the set distance (straight line from start
point by GPS) is exceeded.
“Strecke”
The alarm is activated when the set route distance is exceeded.
“Rx Spannung”
to monitor the receiver supply. The alarm is active as long as it is
below the set voltage threshold.
