2.3.1 Wind vane sensor The IQ-BASIC-GPS is provided with a very precise speed measuring system, i.e. one entry with evaluation electronics for Flytec wind vane sensors. Advantage: wind vane sensors trigger correct readout already from approx. 1 km/h speed, these sensors are also perfectly suitable for detection of weakest wind strength values at starting site . -

Page 19: Assessment Of Gps Reception Quality
Operation Manual IQ-BASIC-GPS Assessment of GPS reception quality The IQ-BASIC-GPS is fitted with a 20-channel GPS-receiver which is featured with lesser power consumption and also a significantly shorter satellite detection time. Precision of position is between 5 to 40m. As an average one may assume approx. 20 m. -
Page 20: Track And Bearing
Waypoints and Coordinates A waypoint is any single point on the earth’s surface that you would like to go to. The IQ-BASIC-GPS can save up to 200 waypoints. Each name of a waypoint can have up to 16 characters, e.g.: In determining the waypoint, it is also necessary to enter the "Fiesch Airfield". -
Page 21: Display Of Actual Coordinates
Operation Manual IQ-BASIC-GPS 3.3.1 Display of actual coordinates If the IQ-BASIC-GPS receives satellites by GPS-Receiver, the actual position is displayed in the information field of the instrument by briefly pressing the key Info. After 20 sec. the previous display screen will automatically reappear. This function is useful in relaying your location to some person after landing for your pick-up from there. -

Page 25: Competition - Start
Operation Manual IQ-BASIC-GPS 3.4.3 Competition - Start For a competition is normally ruled a start cylinder of the EXIT type (flying out of the cylinder) or ENTER type (flying into the cylinder) and one, or several possible start times (Startgates). -
Page 26: Competition Route - Data Display For Task Exit Cyl
Start cylinder. 3.4.3.5 Approaching a WP Cylinder The GPS-Receiver of the IQ-BASIC-GPS calculates its new position every second, therefore it takes only this one second to inform the pilot about his crossing of the turning point of cylinder circumference. -
Page 27: Flight Optimisation
Duration time for one full circle should at least be 16 seconds, some more time would be better. Whilst circling, the IQ-BASIC-GPS determines the direction of least speed over ground, and checks also synchronously if in opposite direction there might be the fastest speed over ground. -
Page 28: Relocating Thermals
The recording mode does not need to be specifically activated. Each flight is automatically saved. The flight memory provided with the IQ-BASIC-GPS not only records flight altitude but it also logs the position and the GPS-altitude of the pilot in the WGS84-coordinate system. -
Page 29: Data Transfer
Data exchange via PC The basic equipment of the IQ-BASIC-GPS includes a data cable for the USB interface Mini B. Due to this feature the data transfer can be carried out in both directions. The data transmission is effected via serial interface COMX with: 57.600 baud; 8 databit; 1 stopbit; no parity; no Xon/Xoff. -

IQ-BASIC-GPS. In order to be able to write into the IQ-BASIC-GPS flash memory with a PC, the program „Flasher.exe Vers. 1.5 or higher“ is required, which is available in zipped file format under the name of “Flasher.zip”. -
Page 31: Miscellaneous
Operation Manual IQ-BASIC-GPS Important: make sure that the IQ-BASIC-GPS is not switched-on when the connection cable to the PC is plugged to the instrument. Caution: never leave the PC cable hooked to the instrument for a longer period when it is turned off. -
Page 32: Additional Information
This means that the altimeter has to be set precisely before take-off for any flight to a well-known altitude value. The IQ-BASIC-GPS sets altitude after energising automatically to GPS-altitude. However, it may also be subject to variations. -
Page 33: Navigation
1/1000 of mobile radios, these radio sets and other disruptive factors (like notebooks) should be operated as far away as possible from the IQ-BASIC-GPS . The IQ-BASIC-GPS is fitted with a highly sensitive Sirf III 20-Kanal GPS-receiver, which is featured with lesser power consumption and also a significantly shorter satellite detection time. -
Page 34: Flight Memory And Igc File
Since the proof of a completed flight depends entirely on the GPS recording, it is important to ensure before take-off that the GPS-receiver indeed receives satellite signals. Therefore please switch-on the IQ-BASIC-GPS at least two minutes before take-off so that even pre-flight events are included in the recording. -
