3.1 Communication with PC
After PC communication art was chosen by the pilot, a PC connected to the 5P round connector normaly positioned on
the instrument panel, can be used. All kinds of PC communication can be provided using of IGC port available on the
rear side of he unit. Use standard IGC cables.
Note!:
The LX 7007 pro IGC uses .CUB format of airspace data structure. Ensure that the version of LXe used to load
airspace is build 25 April 2005 or later; never use old versions of LXe to load airspace.
Communication with a PC is via the RS232 serial COM port. If your computer only has an USB port and noreal serial
COM port, then you will need to obtain an USB to serial adaptor, available in every computer shop. To couple the unit
to the COM port, a special cable is supplied with the LX 7007 PRO IGC which terminates in a SUB D 9 pin socket, on
the PC side.
A CD with the following programs is supplied with LX 7007 PRO IGC:
• LXe Windows program for communication, basic flight evaluation and database management.
• SeeYou (1.9) - for task preparation and detailed flight analysis.
• LxasBrowser for airspace management and its manual.
• ConnectLX for communication with PDA, no navigation functionality required
Using the LXe program, the following procedures can be carried out:
• Read logger
• Read *.da4 (TP and TSK files)
• Read flight info
• Write *.da4 (TP and TSK files)
• Write flight info *.hdr
• Write APT
• Write airspace (.CUB files only)
LXe will automatically recognize an instrument requesting .CUB file and will offer browse function to find adequate
.CUB airspace file.
Another very useful function of LXe is the preparation of task details such as start, TP and finish sectors. Using the
menu ZONES in Lxe, the details of AAT sectors can also be programmed. All this data can then be transferred to the
LX7000 PRO IGC.
LXe can also be used to update the APT and airspace database. Such updates are free and and no update code is
necessary any more.
Note!
LX 7007 has a memory capacity for maximal 6 .CUB airspace files. To replace one with another simple load a new one.
Replaced will be overtime time the active airspace file. Flying a competition where some special versions of airspace is
issued, overwrite the airspace which you normally don’t use, to prevent missing of airspace data after returning home.
