IQ-COMPEO+ Switch-On and Off
The unit is switched on by pressing the key "Page/ESC On/Off ". To prevent inadvertent
switch-on, it has to be confirmed after the display message „really switch on ?“ by pressing
the key " OK ". For some seconds shall appear general data, such as serial no., pilot’s name,
SW-version, date, aircraft, and also the size of available memory for storage of waypoints
and CTRs (EEPROM). For switch-off you need to press the same key during 3 seconds and
to confirm the display question "really switch off ?” by pressing “OK”.
After ending a flight, the calculation of the digital signature can take up to 2 minutes. Please
wait until the message „Generating Digital Signature“ disappears and press once more the
key Page/ESC On/Off.
1.2 User selectable Fields
In the lower display part beside the compass rose there are 7 user selectable fields which
can be used to the pilot’s choice. In total about 27 selectable measurement data are
available. All user selectable fields can be set comfortably on the PC by use of the
freebie PC-Software Flychart 4.52 and are transferred via the PC-interface to the
instrument. In order to assign a field to a certain measuring press the key ◄. Explanation
of the respective display is provided with a black bar. Repeatedly pressing the ◄key
switches to the next field. The ▲or ▼keys enable you to assign for each field the following
measurements:
Caution: For security reasons it is not possible to change the assignment of user selectable
fields during flight.

If nothing is changed after having selected
a field, the instrument returns to normal
function after 10 sec. and the previous
display is shown again.
By pressing briefly thekey, a 2nd and
3rd page with each time 7 displays is
accessible. Choose Basic Settings / Userfields
for selection of these displays with each
time 4 large fields, or 6 small fields.
In this case the compass rose is hidden,
but the big arrow pointing to the WP
remains visible.
We would like to assist the user by
providing some approved recommendations
for preset of 3 selectable field pages.
Some of the displays are so interesting that
we recommend to present these on each of
the 3 possible field pages always at the same places.
This would be for instance „Groundspeed“ or the wind component „Speed-Diff“.
Page 1) is called up, if the pilot flies without predetermined goal (thus without the “GoTo”
function) In addition to the displays mentioned before, also the fields for: Dist to ^; L/Dgnd;
Flight Time; Alt2 or Temp could be displayed.
Page 2) is used, if a waypoint (WP) to go for has been selected. Instead of the fields
suggested above, values for Dist to WP; Alt a. BG; Alt a. WP should also be displayed here.
Page 3) could be called up for the final glide to the landing area. Even if the pilot selects the
large data representation here, the most important functions should be displayed here,
such as the big arrow pointing to goal, and also Dist to WP; Spd-Diff; Gnd-Speed; Alt a BG;
and Alt a. WP.

Data exchange via PC
The basic equipment of IQ-COMPEO+ includes a data cable for a USB PC interface
USB Mini B. Due to this feature data transfer can be carried out on both directions.
The data transmission is effected via serial interface with: 57.600 baud; 1 startbit;
8 databit; 1 stopbit; no parity, Xon/Xoff
Only readout of flights saved in the flight memory is possible.
By use of the USB interface the IQ-COMPEO+ can also be operated for
data readout and entry:
entire instrument configuration (Basic Settings, user defined displays)
list of waypoints
list of Routes
Important remark: the IQ-COMPEO+ must first be switched-on with visible Main Set-up
Menu before the connection cable to the PC is plugged to the instrument for subsequent
transfer of above mentioned data.
To perform data transfer the instrument needs to be switched to the Main Set-up Menu
(prolonged pressing on the Menu key).
Please observe the instructions of the software being used for transfer of stored flight data.
Data transfer for the OLC (On-Line-Contest Server) or to the XC-DHV Server is possible by
use of the Flychart-Version or with the other programs listed hereunder. There are various
software programs available for creation of IGC-files, partly even for OLC-files.
For more detailed information please check homepage http://www.onlinecontest.de/holc/

In very rare cases it may happen that the instrument shows no reaction at all. In this case
the batteries or accumulators need to be taken out for minimum one minute. As a
result the instrument will perform a reset and should be switched-on again with the ESC key.
