Data Transmission To A Pc - Brauniger IQ-CLASSIC Operating Instructions Manual

The expression final approach should not be misunderstood; this is not a question of the last
thermals before the landing site. Instead, the advantages of speedy progress thanks to
McCready can be used for an entire route or also in competition. Wherever possible, known
sources of thermals should be saved as waypoints in the GPS receiver and included.
To enable the calculations to be carried out, the instrument must also know the altitude of the
waypoint. Most GPS instruments allow you to allocate names consisting of 6 characters to
the waypoints. This name is also transmitted continuously by the GPS to the vario. The
waypoint names must be entered in the following configuration: 3 letters and 3 digits. The
digit multiplied by ten corresponds to the altitude.

For paraglider pilots who fly without a speed sensor, the precalculated altitude over the
destination or the glide path can also be used with limitations. It is important to know that
the vario always assumes that your passage through the air is the one with the best glide
(from the polar). If a pilot flies faster, the instrument will assume a tailwind, which naturally
leads to wrong results.

There are programmes on the market,(e.g.
Fugawi or CompeGPS) that allow the user to
produce, name and transfer waypoint lists
using PC maps straight into the GPS receiver.
This saves the bother of entering the

If, when approaching a destination, the
direction of flight deviates by more than +/-
20°, the precalculated arrival altitude will start
to flash after 30 sec; the influence of wind is
then no longer taken into account.
IQ-Competition instruments can transfer the
recorded flights (altitude and speed) to a PC via
the included serial data cable. (COM1 or COM2)
The programme required to depict flights and to
create a flight log "PC-Graph 2000" can be
downloaded free of charge from our website.
On a PC, the flights are usually arranged by date
as a flight log although other sorting criteria can
also be set. For each flight, comments and
information on the take-off and landing sites as
well as references to the weather can be entered
up.
