Page 3: Introduction
Robbe/Futaba FASSTest S.BUS2 JR DMSS FrSky The telemetry used in the GPS-Logger 2 must be specified, once only, in the settings. This is done either through our PC program "GPS Konverter" or the UniDisplay. On delivery HoTT is selected. The GPS logger 2 comes with a built-in high-resolution pressure sensor giving via telemetry a high-quality Vario, and the integrated TEK connection enables also the use of compensation nozzles. - Page 4 Translated by R.Whitehead 10-3-2014 (my best effort – accuracy is not guaranteed) In addition to its own measurements, the GPS-Logger 2 can also read all the data live from the UniLog 1/2 via a direct cable connection and write it to the memory card.

GPS-Logger 2, the same functions. As of firmware version v1.13 with the introduction of GPS-Logger 2 this guide will only be available in the version for the new GPS logger 2. All areas which also affect the GPS- Logger 1 shall, of course, also apply to this. -

5. Measured values The following measured values are captured by the GPS-Logger 2. Most of the data is written on the memory card and also transmitted by telemetry. Depending on the telemetry used, it is possible that only part of it is available on the transmitter. - Page 8 Translated by R.Whitehead 10-3-2014 (my best effort – accuracy is not guaranteed) Motorgeräusch Volume of the drive for the IGC mode in Online Contest (OLC) (Motor sound) HDOP Horizontal accuracy The smaller the better and the value should be below 1.5 ...

We recommend the use only with the card provided or available as an accessory from us. The card is inserted into the slot on the back and pushed in until it clicks and is flush. The GPS-Logger 2 does not have an ejector for the memory card so the card is simply pulled out again with the fingers. -

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. -
Page 11: Starting And Stopping Recording
With the option “Autostop landing” the recording ends automatically 10 seconds after the landing, that is if for 10 seconds the speed is less than 10 km/h. With each start of recording the GPS-Logger 2 begins a new file. The file names are numbered consecutively and have the following format: “2014-01-01 SM GPS 2 Logdatei 0001.nmea “... -
Page 12: Vario
This of course is not a constant value but depends on the speed, buoyancy, and other factors. The GPS-Logger 2 has a TEK port on the top. The hose of the TEK nozzle is simply plugged into this. In principle all types of TEK nozzle can be used, including the well known Nicks nozzle or the Brunswick nozzle. - Page 13 Translated by R.Whitehead 10-3-2014 (my best effort – accuracy is not guaranteed) “Vario Schwelle” (Vario Threshold) is the response threshold for the Vario signal via telemetry, so if, and only If, the rise/ fall is greater than the threshold will a Vario tone be generated.

In addition the “Min / Max per Rx” option must be enabled in the settings of the GPS- Logger2. If this option is not used, the single receiver connector of the GPS-Logger 2 can simply remain free. 7.3 Connection as a telemetry sensor The GPS-Logger 2 is connected directly to the telemetry port. -

Translated by R.Whitehead 10-3-2014 (my best effort – accuracy is not guaranteed) 7.4 Connection of the GPS-Logger 2 and UniLog 1/2 or UniSens-E The GPS-Logger 2 can be connected directly to the UniLog 1 / 2 or UniSens- E with the leads stock no. 2720 or 2721. -
Page 16: Using The Unidisplay
The UniDisplay and GPS-Logger 2 are connected with the cable provided with the display. The connector location can be seen on the top of the GPS-Logger 2 and is labelled “COM”. The cable connection can be made either way round, which end is used is irrelevant. - Page 17 The last line shows the servo pulse measured at the Rx port. Setup: Here the menu for all settings of the GPS-Logger 2 appears. In the second line is the firmware version of the GPS-Logger 2 and also the serial number. Move through the menu options with “Plus” and “Minus”, and select the appropriate point with “Enter”.
- Page 18 UniLog Alarms: Alarms can be set here for operation with Jeti Duplex and the UniLog 1 / 2 or UniSens-E connected to the GPS-Logger 2. When the arrow is in the left column and the appropriate menu option activated with “Enter”, the value of the alarm can be set.

Page 19: Using In Online Contest (Olc)
The GPS-Logger 2 can directly produce the IGC file which is needed for the flight evaluation in Online Contest. So no more conversion of files is necessary, just the .igc file transferred from the memory card directly into the OLC system and the flight is evaluated. -

The measured GPS values can be transferred live to the ground and be displayed directly on the Multiplex the Royal Pro or COCKPIT SX transmitter. - Page 24 Translated by R.Whitehead 10-3-2014 (my best effort – accuracy is not guaranteed) As an additional feature the GPS-Logger 2 writes all data continuously on the Multiplex M- Link bus system and stores it in parallel with its own data on the memory card.

The GPS-Logger 2 is in this case connected like any other sensor to the S.BUS2 slot of the receiver. - Page 28 See the same values in the T14SG as follows (here the names cannot be changed): 10.4.2. Alarms In principle with S.BUS2 the alarms are defined in the transmitter. The GPS-Logger 2 has no way to directly trigger an alarm on the transmitter.
