IYFFS0803USB TX Interface

The NexSTAR USB Transmitter Interface ’ - - - - A A D D D D I I N N G G T T O O T T H H E E R R E E A A L L I I S S M M By definition, the R/C transmitter is a key component in all types of R/C flying. This unique method of control is part of what separates R/C from every other type of aviation. Consequently, a realistic transmitter is important to an authentic simulation of the R/C experience. With this in mind, we at Great Planes are proud to offer our NexSTAR USB Transmitter Interface. The NexSTAR USB Transmitter Interface Features of the NexSTAR USB Transmitter Interface: • USB compatibility and convenience. The ultimate convenience of “plug and play”, “hot pluggable” installation and removal, as well as the high-speed digital performance made possible by Universal Serial Bus (USB) technology. • Use your Actual R/C transmitter. The Transmitter Interface allows you to use your NexSTAR transmitter to control the action. This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the controller before heading to the flying field. • Easy setup and use. Pre-calibrated so you don’t even have to calibrate your NexSTAR transmitter, unlike other computer joysticks. Simply plug it in and go! T T R R A A N N S S M M I I T T T T E E R R I I N N T T E E R R F F A A C C E E F F E E A A T T U U R R E E S S This awesome interface brings you: • Full USB compatibility. The Transmitter Interface plugs directly into your computer’s USB port with little, if any, additional setup required. • High-speed data transfer ensures rapid, digitally precise response to your control input. • Hot pluggable—connect/disconnect your Transmitter Interface adapter without shutting down or rebooting the PC. • Total control with your actual R/C transmitter. You’ll get the ‘feel’ for controlling the NexSTAR with the same unit you’ll be using at the field. CONNECT THE USB TRANSMITTER INTERFACE Finally, plug the RealFlight NexSTAR Edition Transmitter Interface into a USB port on your computer (see diagram). On most computers, the USB ports are clearly labeled. Please note, the Transmitter Interface is hot pluggable or hot swappable. In other words, you can normally plug/unplug the Transmitter Interface without turning your computer off or rebooting. While your Transmitter Interface is plugged in, and your computer is turned “on”, a small green light on the Transmitter Interface should illuminate. This light, labeled “USB Active”, indicates that the Transmitter Interface is connected and working. Grasp the remaining Transmitter Interface cord (the one with the square connector) and firmly plug this into the trainer jack (a.k.a. buddy box) port located in the back of the NexSTAR transmitter. Turn the transmitter’s power “on.”

It was located more than required distance away from the shielded room wall. Radiated Emission Testing was performed according to ANSI C63.4:1992 at the open field test site. The EUT was placed in a 0.8m high table along with the peripherals. The turn table was separated from the antenna distance 10meters. Cables were placed in a position to produce maximum emissions as determined by experimentation, and operation mode was selected for maximum. The frequencies and amplitudes of maximum emission were measured at varying azimuths, antenna heights and antenna polarities. Reported are maximized emission levels. 1.9 Standards Applicable for Testing Table of tests to be carried out under FCC Part 15, Subpart B, CLASS B Test Standards Status FCC Part 15,Subpart B, Class B Applicable Deviation from Standard No Deviation 1.10 Summary of Results The data collected shows that Model NEXSTAR .46 SELECT ARF complies with Part 15.109 and 107 of FCC Technical Rules. The highest emission level observed was at 0.27MHz for Q/P mode conducted emission with a margin of 18.5dB and at 0.27MHz for AV mode conducted emission with a margin of 18.0dB and at 528.04MHz radiated emission with a margin of 4.83dB.
