5.1.13.4 Flarm
On Flarm setup page, information about Flarm serial number, version, database and Flarm
status is shown.
Flarm status message is normally OK. In case of any errors or warning, an error message will
appear. User can change operation mode of Flarm unit, frequency and enables competition
mode.
Three operation modes are available:
• Power off - Flarm unit is switched off
• Power on - Flarm unit is switched on
• Privacy on - Flarm unit works in stealth mode. Other Flarm units will not receive
altitude and vario information about your glider. For collision warnings that mode has no
influence.
Depends on which region/continent you are flying, set the correct frequency band.
Competition mode is prepared only for competition. If that mode is enabled, pilot will not be
able to see any Flarm data on LX8000 map. Status of competition mode is recorded in IGC
file and can be checked during scoring.
5.1.13.5 NMEA output
The LX8000 is capable of outputting position data sentences in the NMEA format for use by
other devices. Data is divided into three groups,
• Gps data will output all gps related data like time, longitude, altitude
• LX8000 data will output all variometer related data like vario, MacCready, ballast
• Flarm data will output all Flarm related data
The NMEA baud rate will be always 19200 bps, any other settings do not matter.
