6.2.2 Changing parameters with NanoConfig
Run the NanoConfig program and go to the settings screen. The settings screen is split into
two sections. Settings dedicated to the NANO
3
and settings for NanoConfig.
Parameters for the NANO
3
include recording interval, NMEA output and Bluetooth enable
settings.
In NanoConfig you can change the distance units used in the task declaration and the format
of latitude and longitude.
6.2.2.1 Flight recording interval
The flight recording interval is set to one second by default. It is recommended that you
keep this setting. Even with the recording interval set to one second, the NANO
3
is capable of
storing approximately 28000hours of flight. Having a recording interval of one second will
allow you to do more accurate post-flight analysis and increases the probability of obtaining
a data point in the observation zone.
If you wish to change these settings, use the up/down arrow or type a new value.
6.2.2.2 Automatically finish flight
If this option is enabled, the flight will be automatically finished and digitally signed once
conditions for finishing the flight are met. The NANO
3
must fulfil the following conditions for
30 seconds. GPS status is ok, ground speed is below 4m/s, vertical speed is within 0.2m/s
and altitude is below 3000m.
6.2.2.3 Start recording on power on
If this option is enabled, recording of a new flight will be automatically started when the
NANO
3
is powered on. If this option is disabled the NANO
3
will start recording when vertical
speed is above 1m/s and the ground speed is above 8m/s. This option is most useful for
hanggliders.
When this option is enabled, option Automatically finish flight is ignored.
