Preflight Settings - Flarm
Flarm
Here you have the possibility to readout and set several Flarm data. On this
page you can upload a selected flight task together with its related data
to the Flarm device.
Window description
In the upper window part are displayed different read only items in the
Flarm Data panel from the Flarm device. If the fields are filled with ???
no data could be read from the Flarm device. In this case there seems to be no
active connection available. The abbreviated labels in the Flarm Data
panel have the following meaning:
SN: | Serial number |
RId: | Radio Identifier |
Sv: | Severity of issue |
Err: | Error code |
ODB: | Obstacle data base version. Empty, if no data base is installed. |
HW: | Hardware version |
Sw: | Software version |
Igc: | IGC version. Empty on none approved IGC Flarms. |
Note! If Flarm reports an error code in the framed box
beside the Err: label, you can click on that error code and will get
a textual description of the error code.
- LogInt
- Here you can define the log interval of the IGC Flarm logger.
The possible setting range is 1...8 seconds.
The default is set to two seconds.
- Priv
-
Here you can set/unset the so called Stealth mode of the
Flarm device. 0 means off and 1 means on.
If you don't know, what it is, let it switched off (0)! That is better
for your personal safety.
- NoTrk
-
Flarm opt-out option for ground tracking (“no track”). If set,
the receiving ground stations should not process or store position data of
your glider. 0 means off and 1 means on.
- Task
-
In the displayed combo box at the right side of the task label you can select a
task to be flown. Preselected is the currently activated task in Cumulus. But
you can change here the current task selection, if you want to do that. The new
selected task will be considered as the task to be used for flying, if you
upload it to the Flarm device.
A task can also be selected at the
preflight task page.

Pressing this button will read out all available data from the Flarm device
and put them in the related fields of the window.
Note, that a set IGC Task cannot be read out. That is not supported by
Flarm.

of this window. On request you can adapt these values to your personal needs.
