Inertial sensing in Butterfly Vario, TE vs Airmass indicators

Dear Dale,

when having a two-seater installation always the settings of the device with the speaker take effect. So you will have to adjust the deadband in this device.

Other settings like volume, QNH, NAV-target, MC are kept up-to-date in both units.

Thanks again,

I use both speakers when flying my ASH25. On my last flight I had the rear seat passenger turn his volume completely down and attempted to set the dead band on my unit. Changing the numbers plus or minus up to 100 seemed to make no difference. Do I need to disable one of the speakers or perhaps set it from the back seat? Does increasing positive or negative numbers increase the wide band?

Dale

Dear Dale,

it is very important in a two-seater setup that you setup both display units with the appropriate peripherals-settings.

In Detail:
Go to Menu Setup Device Peripherals and set all the connected peripherals in each unit.

Please also set the CANaerospace Node ID of one Display to "2", you can do this in Menu Setup Device.

Best wishes
Marc

Marc, is there a document describing the menu tree? The manual available online is not comprehensive.

Marc,

If I connect one of my butterflies to a portable flarm with the RJ45 cable, will it then send the flarm data to the second butterlfy?

Thanks
Dale

Dale,

yes it does. You tell the system where the FLARM is connected, then the other unit with no connected FLARM gets all the data passed through.

Marc,

I flew this weekend and now I have more questions.

1. I connected my power flarm portable to the rear seat vario, and turned on the flarm designator in both units. The rear seat display worked but not the front. How do I get both to display traffic.

2. Does the flarm screen with the bigX only change when traffic is near, or should it have a different screen once the Flarm is connected? In my case the rear unit switched to a flarm screen only when traffic was near. The front display never did anything.

3. I tried all kinds of settings for the SC dead band, and had my rear seat passenger duplicate those settings. At no time did I achive a deadband, or notice any change at all. What am I doing wrong? What settings would you suggest for a fairly wide cruise audio dead band?

4. What baud rate, and sentence should I select in the Flarm setup page?

5. Where do I change the volume for the voice commands and alarms?

The rear unit is designated #1 and the front #2 . The Flarm is connected to the rear #1 unit.

Thanks once again for your help. I love the instrument in spite of all the teething problems.

Dale
