Eventide ARGUS 5000 - The Flight Recorder

The Flight Recorder
Improbable as it may seem, your Argus comes with a lifetime supply of breadcrumbs.
Of course, they are figurative breadcrumbs, as they only appear on the screen of the
Argus, and only when you want to see them. As you fly along, you have the option
of using the Flight Recorder mode to record your position. This is an extremely useful
function, as you can see from the potential applications:
Prove that you were where you claim to have been.
Prove that you weren't where they claim you were.
Review your trip at leisure and see how you could have done it better.
Be able to retrace your route to find something you saw previously.
On a search-and-rescue mission, see where you have flown so you don't repeat
an area.
In an instructional situation, be able to review a student's progress or errors.
Note that you can activate and use the flight recorder without viewing the recording,
and you can view a previous recording without recording presently.
Flight Recorder Settings
You activate and adjust the flight recorder settings in
the AMEND mode. The first line, DISPLAY TRIP,
determines whether a flight recording will be displayed
on the map or not.
The DISPLAY LIMITS are updated for each trip. The
Argus attempts automatically to show the data from
your most recent previous trip along with any data
generated on the current trip. Data from other
previous trips are also retained until they are
overwritten by new data.
REC. INTERVAL is adjustable to 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and OFF. This
determines how often a new data point is placed in memory.
You can erase all previous flight recorder data by selecting "Y" in front of ERASE
