straight through DB9/DB9 extension cable to PC for loading programs and data to B2000 without
removing plugs from the back of the instrument.
Controls and Display
The B2000 unit's Liquid Crystal display is a high contrast, wide temperature range type and little
difficulty will be experienced in viewing it under all lighting conditions likely to occur in a
sailplane cockpit. The B2000 software is organised so that information is displayed on PAGES.
Many of the pages are only used for setup on the ground or in flight only if the task is changed. The
CURSOR can be moved on each page but only to variables which the pilot can CHANGE or select.
Results of calculations are displayed "as is" and you cannot be mislead into trying to change these
as the cursor cannot be moved over these display fields.
The RAT controls operate as follows:
There are 6 square buttons of which 3 are marked with symbols for PAGE,
CURSOR movement ( UP/DOWN arrow ), CHANGE ( +/- ) value and a rotary
encoder knob. Pushing one of these buttons programs the rotary encoder knob to
perform that function until another of these buttons is pushed. If you forget which
one you pushed last it doesn't matter as you can just push the one corresponding
to the function you need when you need to change either PAGE, CURSOR
position or VARIABLE value.
The remaining 3 buttons are marked with:
A TARGET symbol - pressing this button marks the current position
An EXIT or DELETE symbol (X) - pressing this deletes a turnpoint(see later) or
de-selects the navigation to the last marked point and resumes the task.
An ENTER symbol - pressing this provides navigation to the marked point
These 3 buttons are useable for MARK position, GOTO the marked point and RESUME task
without reference to the screen displays. The RAT buttons require a firm push to operate so you can
select by feel without looking at them, without fear of inadvertent operation. The B2000 main unit
has a toggle switch on the rear. This switch should ALWAYS be in the down (RUN) position
unless a new B2000 operating program version is being loaded.
GETTING STARTED
As supplied the B2000 will have turnpoint and airspace databases loaded for factory test purposes.
You will need to edit and load your own for the area in which you fly using your PC. Similarly
there will be a user file loaded with factory defaults for display contrast, polar, turn and finish
arrival altitude, measurement units and magnetic variation. On request we will load values suitable
for your sailplane and a turnpoint and airspace database provided that the database is provided to us
in electronic format . WinPilot or CAI formats will be fine for the turnpoints, airspace files should
be in OpenAir format(WinPilot). The airspace file should be intelligently edited to remove
irrelevant information as this speeds up screen redraws. We take NO RESPONSIBILITY for the
accuracy of any database.
The B2000 will be far more useful if the GPS provides the NMEA GGA message which contains
GPS altitude and if the turnpoint database contains the elevation of all turnpoints and airfields.
Supplied with the B2000 is a load/simulator cable and a suite of programs for setting B2000 default
