CHAPTER 11
PC150
This chapter describes the differences between the PC150 software kit
and the PCX5 and the PCX5AVD software kits. The additional features
provided with the PC150 kit are the Schedule Editor and the Checklist
Editor. Both are used to quickly and easily edit information and exchange
it with the GPS 150.
11.1 SETUP AND INSTALLATION
The diskette files contained in the PC150 are slightly different and contain
the following differences from the PCX5AVD:
PC150.COM PC150 main program (instead of PCX5AVD)
SAMPLE.CHK Sample checklist file containing several standard
items
SAMPLE.SCH Sample schedule file containing several
standard items
The PC150 program is invoked using the PC150 command in the same
format (i.e. with the same command line switches) as the PCX5AVD.
(See Section 3.1)
11.1.1 CHECKLIST EDITOR (EDIT MENU)
The Checklist Editor is used to create checklists for certain procedures
used before, during or after flight. These could include pre-flight, starting
engines, takeoff, landing, etc. Up to nine checklists of 30 items each may
be created and stored in the GPS 150.
To use the Checklist Editor, select it from the Edit Menu and choose a file
to use or type a name for a new file with the .CHK extension. After
selecting the file to use, the editor will be displayed. The left column is
the Checklist Name (Pre-Flight, etc.). The right column is the Checklist
Procedure (Check Wings, etc.). To begin editing a new file, first select
"ADD" and type the name of the new checklist in the top box on the left.
Next, add procedures for each checklist on the right. You may add all of
the Checklist Names first, then add each procedure, or edit names and
procedures together.
