Quick start guide SensBox 3. General information The SensBox is a universally usable Sensor platform for leisure activities in a wide and varied range. The measurements provided by this device serve as information for the user and are intended to support him in his activity. The instrument records his movements in 3D on a SD-card in the internationally common *.igc format. The *.igc file is provided with a digital signature which will make visible possible manipulations of the file.
Quick start guide SensBox 5. Switching on/and -off the SensBox Please press the On/Off key, the display shows „ON“, then press the „OK“ key for confirmation. The instrument will then automatically switch to operation mode via display of the device's serial number and of the installed firmware version. Switch-off: if the Switch-on/-off key is pressed for at least 3 sec., the display shows „OFF“, which is then confirmed with „OK“. By this process all data are stored on the SD card. 6.
Quick start guide SensBox Reset: If the device does not perform as expected (crash of the firmware) one can reset it by simultaneously pressing the keys and as well as the on-off switch. 7. Selection and settings of diyplay mode Handling of the SensBox is in principle self-explanatory and easy. After switch-on the altimeter function is always displayed. The basic setting of the altimeter is adjusted in the factory to the 1013 hPa standard.
Quick start guide SensBox The example presents on the display the altitude of 520 m, however, the actual altitude is 470 m. For access into the Set Mode the key must be pressed for at least 3 sec. Then the SensBox is shifted to Set Mode, the altitude display is flashing. By use of the arrow keys „up“ or „down“ the altitude display can now be adjusted to the correct value – as far as known. Either confirm the value with „OK“ , or wait for 30 sec. until the flashing stops.

Quick start guide SensBox 9. Description of single modes 7.1 Altimeter The barometric altitude is displayed through an air pressure sensor. The altitude value can be displayed in meter = m, or feet = ft. Switching of measurement unit is performed by one of the arrow keys. ‹ Active functions ‹ Selected mode ‹ Measurement or default value, presently altitude 446 m 7.2 Variometer The Vario display is presented exclusively in digital form.
Quick start guide SensBox 7.3 Air pressure display The current air pressure QNH can be displayed in hPa as well as in inHg. The necessary adaptation is performed as described under point 7. ‹ Air pressure display 28,03 inHg 7.4 Magnetic compass Display is executed digitally in degrees.
Quick start guide SensBox 7.5 GPS – Speed over Ground. Through the GPS module Speed over Ground is displayed in case of active satellite reception. Display can be made in km/h – mph – kt – m/s. Selection is performed by use of the arrow keys. ‹ Speed: 0,0 km/h 7.6 Position by GPS In case of active satellite reception the current position is displayed here once in the northern „N“ or „ S“ position, and by pressing the arrow key the „E“ or „W“ position in format degrees, minutes, seconds.

The adaptation to local time in steps of ½ h is possible in Setmode. ‹ Time display 7:23:01 7.8 Recording memory At this item is displayed the storage space of the inserted SD card in percent. In addition it is possible to adjuste here the recording interval and the start conditions.
