display manufacturer. Higher protocol versions support additional features. Higher
baud rates support a higher number of concurrent aircraft shown on the display.
Note: Some displays automatically set the required baud rate and/or protocol
version during startup. Other displays may adapt to the already configured
baud rate.
Note: Newer protocol versions transport more information than older versions. It
is thus recommended to use the highest protocol version supported by the
connected display. Similarly, it is recommend to use the highest supported
baud rate to prevent loss of information due to an overwhelmed serial
connection.

system. It requires a valid obstacle database with license to work. There are
different databases covering various geographical areas and use cases. An
installed obstacle database should be renewed as part of the annual maintenance
and before it expires. They can be purchased under the following link:
