1 INTRODUCTION

1.5 Instrument panel interface

The button and knob layout is arranged to suit operation with the left hand which is preferred.

The instrument panel user interface devices are:

• Power/escape button The top left button is used as a power switch and as a

cancel/escape function in XCSoar. This button has an LED

light which is lit when the device is on.

• Menu buttons The four buttons along the left side of the display below the

Power/Escape button are assigned as menu buttons;

pressing any of these brings up a menu of onscreen buttons

along the bottom of the display.

• Select buttons The ﬁve buttons along the bottom of the display are used to

select menu items or for general purpose hot-keys.

• Rotary knob The rotary knob has two rotatable parts, an inner knob and

an outer knob. The knob also has a press button. This

device serves the purpose of a cursor and input device:

- Outer knob Up/down. In dialog forms, moves the selection cursor.

When the map is displayed, this zooms in/out.

- Inner knob Left/right. In dialog forms, adjusts the value of the item

under the cursor.

- Button press Enter. In dialog forms, selects the button under the

cursor. The menu button immediately above the rotary

knob can also be used as an Enter button in dialog forms.

The assignment of functions to buttons is fully customisable, so can be tailored to each owner’s

preferences. Refer to the XCSoar Advanced Conﬁguration Guide for details on customising the

interface.
