To invoke Live Mode, first ensure that your Dashboard is receiving data from the transmitter. Then, connect the

Dashboard to USB, and click the Live Mode button on the App. A window may display asking you whether to record the Live Mode data. After choosing this option, Live Mode should start and display the live parameters.

Note: several of the Live Mode parameters are zeroed when Live Mode is started. Stop and restart Live Mode if the parameters did not correctly zero.

Note: whenever a packet is missed, the previous packet is duplicated in the Live Mode recording. The duplicated packets are marked as duplicated in the “error” fields of the recording – these are visible when viewed in Excel. See the Recorder manual for more information on viewing the files in Excel.

Note: if the 9 volt battery is installed in the Dashboard, the Dashboard will be powered by the battery even when the USB plug is connected. If you wish to monitor or record very long runs with Live Mode, turn off all power to the Dashboard and remove the 9 volt battery. Then, the Dashboard will be powered by USB.

Using the Recorder/Data Logger

Please read the important information below on Recorder operation before using it in your plane.

The Recorder’s LED

The Recorder’s LED serves several purposes. When the Recorder is powered on when installed in your Flight, the LED flashes a number of times to indicate your 4.8 or 6 volt battery’s charge state at power-up time. Five flashes indicates a fully charged battery, and three or fewer flashes indicates that the battery is likely not safe to use. Loading can affect these readings, of course.
