Task - LX Navigation Zeus User Manual

*Compass module is a standalone electronic device, which
can be connected to LX Zeus via 485 bus (or CAN bus for
newer versions.) The unit delivers the magnetic track to the
LX Zeus. However, to get accurate measurements, it is
essential to have good compass calibration.

Head/Tail: Shows difference between GS and IAS.

Time for straight flight: Time in seconds that will be taken for one measurement (valid for straight
model). The longer the period the better the result. This is valid only for the compass method and
not for the Head/Tail one.

Drift circles: Sets how many circles are required to calculate the position drift.

Compass assistant: Is a special symbol that appears on the display and helps to keep flight
parameters (speed and direction) stable during calculation.
2.2.11.3 Manual wind settings

Set manually - manual wind speed and direction can be set which will be displayed and used for
all calculations.
2.2.11.4 Influence of wind in final glide
The actual wind data (speed and direction) influences the final glide calculation. In task mode the final
glide indication is based on the remaining distance over all TPs until the finish (not over turn points already
overflown). Wind influence for individual legs is based on actual wind data. Using the Head/Tail method
will define wind direction on actual track being flown and this value will be taken into final glide calculation.
2.2.12
The Task menu allows the setting of
default zones for quicker and easier
task creation.
Under Other settings can be set:
- TDT calculation sets the task delta
time calculation method
- AAT calculation sets whether the
next TP is set automatically or by hand
- Task start navigation sets the point
to which your glider computer will
navigate
- Sync with TP navigation sets the
same turnpoint for Task and TP menu
