LX 7007 pro IGC V1.0 Apr.2005 Page 9 Before leaving the FLIGHT INFO menu, the actual name can be sav ed into pilot list, if not already present. LOGTIME is an important parameter as it shows the total memory availab le for recording the flig ht. TOTAL MEMORY is the capacity of memory in ho urs that can be stored and only depends on the settings.
LX 7007 pro IGC V1.0 Apr.2005 Page 10 K-RECORD: This record can be used to store non-essential flight paramet ers and is not active by def ault. It should not be activated unless the IGC reco rd format is fully understood. If required to be activated, the J-Record (see below) will select the flight parameters that are st ored in the K-Record.
LX 7007 pro IGC V1.0 Apr.2005 Page 11 2.1.1.3 INIT The following parameters can be set using this option . • VARIO FIL: This sets the time constant of the vario from 0.5sec up to 5 secs; the defa ult setting is 2.0 secs • S.V. : S.V. m eans Smart Vario , giving four levels of dynamic d amping of the vario indication and off .
LX 7007 pro IGC V1.0 Apr.2005 Page 12 2.1.1.4 DISPLAY This option sets the contrast of the LC display. The actual c ontrast can vary with viewi ng angle, ambient light level and temperature. The contrast is changed by rotati ng the UP/DO WN selector. Default contrast setting is 50%.

LX 7007 pro IGC V1.0 Apr.2005 Page 15 • A21: Orientation ( Options: TO NEXT , RAD.1. TP , and US ER VALUE ). If TO NEXT or RAD.1.TP are selected, then AUTO is also displayed not permitting a ny rotation. I f USE R VALUE is selected, the sector can be rotated.
LX 7007 pro IGC V1.0 Apr.2005 Page 16 It i s therefore recommended that the graphics page is displayed during the start procedure to ensure th at a good start is achieved. Other possible options for the setting of A21 are: • RAD.1.TP : This type of start sector was used in the 1999 Wo rld Gliding Cha mpionships in Bayreuth.
LX 7007 pro IGC V1.0 Apr.2005 Page 17 2.1.2.3.2 POINT ZONE This s etting defines the turn point zone, sometimes referred to as the observation zone. The procedure is very similar to setting the START ZONE except that more options are available for A2 1 .
