Badge Edition. Screen pages
Regardless of the screen page being selected, the Badge Edition does execute the same background tasks all the time.
It means that, when your primary traffic display is the XCSoar or LK8000 app running on a mobile device connected to the Badge by Bluetooth LE - it is safe to switch the Badge into 'UTC clock', 'Status', 'Baro' or 'G load' screen mode and you will not loose anything this case.
ACFTS - a number of aircrafts 'in sight'
BAT - battery voltage
ID - unique device ID of this Badge unit
PROTOCOL - current radio protocol in use
RX - radio packets received
TX - radio packets transmitted
This illustration shows one traffic object located about 1 km left and it is higher than the Badge carrier aircraft.
Present GNSS CoG is 33 degrees relative to North.
Full scale of the radar screen is currently set to 4 km. Thus, the 'radar' coverage area is 2km left, 2 km right, 2 km ahead and 2 km behind - all relative to your SoftRF device location.
Important
'Radar' screen needs for the Badge to get a positive 3D GNSS fix first. When the fix is not available - 'NO FIX' message will appear on the display.
Note
'Radar' screen may depict less traffic objects than reported by 'Aircrafts in sight' value when the 'Traffic filter' setting is active.
Important
'Text' screen needs for the Badge to get a positive 3D GNSS fix first. When the fix is not available - 'NO FIX' message will appear on the display.
Note
At least one air traffic object has to be located within operating range of the device. In the case if there is no any traffic nearby - 'NO TRAFFIC' message will appear on the display.
Note
'Baro' page is not available when the air pressure sensor is missing.
Warning
Reported values may deviate from true values at any time.
The Badge uses internal RTC component to operate the clock. The clock is powered by a separate battery and/or main 3.7V Li-Po battery.
Every time you power on the Badge - the device will try to sync the clock up with precise GNSS satellites time. So, if you see that the UTC time on the screen is not available or invalid - move your Badge into an area of good GPS/GLONASS reception, then wait for a first fix.
Tip
Small 'battery' icon in the right upper corner indicates battery charge level.
Tip
When the Badge has positive Bluetooth LE connection with a wireless client - the Bluetooth icon will show up near the battery one.
Note
'G load' page is not available when the IMU sensor is missing.
Warning
Uncalibrated reading is displayed - it may deviate from true 'G load' value at any time.
