Analysis Software Instructions

You installed software on your PC. Check in DATA-SETTINGS which serial port you use. Don't change default values in SETUP 19200,8,NONE,1,NONE. There is also available proved USB/RS 232 convertor which I warrant will work with your ONLY USB PC. This software should allow you to analyse any flight logged by your A2. I'm conviced you won't need any other tool to understand what's going on up there. Well, let's dig in and I will try to give you rough idea about some neat features of this package.

Picture 1

Every download session is called-Module, every flight/log in Module is called-Block. All they have by default increasing numbering, Module1, Module2, inside in Module1 there is Block1, Block2, Block3 etc. Usually I rename (click and drag) Module to named pilot and Blocks I name as flights or tasks (in F3B you can call them 1A,1B, 1C etc.) see 1 and 2. After downloading data (Ctrl+R) I renamed Modules and Blocks as mentioned before.

First pilot-Vitek, Second -Jirka, third-Roman and fourth-Jindra. After renaming Modules and Blocks, save file as liberec see 3, your data are valuable therefore don't rely to Windows and every work save regulary. On the bottom side of working area there two tabs see 5. Info and Graph. Info shows any comments and if any flight is choosen in left part, Info also shows some key data about flight. Icon 4 allows you basic setup of programm which is valid for communication and all downloads.

Always be carefull and watch what's selected or checked in left working area. As you see on picture I selected Vitek 1A (it has blue background). Also is checked Vitek 3A and Jindra 3A, both are just checked, NOT selected! See 1 and 2. Ok, Vitek 1A is selected and in Data Block Information you can see some key data, see 4. In button Calculations...you can always (even later on) change formula under which you want to calculate graph of altitude, see 3. In Info space you can use some limited formatting capabilities using formatting icons or menu Format.

I changed view to tab Graph, see 1. While there are checked Vitek 1A,3A and Jindra 3A, you see all logs in one working place. Just check any other flight and it will be immediatelly showed in window. There are interesting and important icons on top of window-toolbar. Icon 2 allows you to switch ON/OFF Data Measurement Mode, 3 allows you X-time axis zoom (click and drag), 4 is XY zoom (click and drag), 5 is undo last zooms (click), 6 is reset all zooms and be oriented if lost in zooming. 7 allows you to add annotations to any portion of graph. By default is your mouse movement followed by floating XY cross, see 9. It can be changed in Graph, Data Cursor. Position of floating cross is showed in upper left corner of working area, see 9a. You can also change Time axis from minutes to second by checking 10.

Fine, lets compare launch height of Vitek in first duration (1A) and Jindra in third duration (3A)., see 1. I will shift Vitek's flight 1A(green) to Jindra's 3A (red), see 3. Select Vitek 1A and then click check box offsets, see 4. Now shifting sliders 5 (red arrows) you can move Vitek's 1A to any point in working space. Usually I use only time slider. Also works, if slider is selected, with left/right keys on your keyboard. Time axis in sec is selected, see 2.
