Low frequency (one flash every 2,2s)
-
Normal frequency (one flash every 1,5s)
-
High frequency (approximately 1Hz)
9.2.1.4
Baud rate
The Baud rate is set to 19,2 kbps by default. There might be (especially multi-function-)
systems, that require a higher baud rate. You can change the value by pressing “Baud
rate”. Normally it is not necessary to change it. Please check the documentation of your
connected system.
You can decide between the following options:
-
9600 bps
-
19200 bps

Test mode
By pressing “test mode“, the canopy flash begins a 15 seconds test-mode and shows the programmed
flash frequency allowing the pilot to check the functionality of the canopy flash system. Please do not
interfere during this mode. (No programming during test mode).
Handling on ground: do not look directly into the light!
9.2.3
Finish programming
To finish the programming process, press “send”. The program confirms a successful programming by
showing the following message “programming successful”. After receiving this message, please restart
the connectBOX (turn off the onboard power), wait for at least 3 seconds and restart the system.
