As with a GPS or XM receiver, the Zaon XRX unit needs to talk to the computer. See the Zaon manual that was included with the XRX device to configure the Com Port.

The Zaon XRX unit needs to be told that it is communicating with an external device (the computer). On the Zaon device press the Menu/Select button. Use the arrow keys to scroll down to COM and press the Menu/Select button. Scroll up to PROFILE 1 and press the Menu/Select button. 

Open the Bluetooth Devices on your EFB computer. and add the new device. Make note of the COM port that is assigned or requested. Use the same COM port in ChartCase Edit/Preferences/Traffic (see above).

 The appropriate Airframe Shadowing needs to be selected in order for the Zaon device to best account for signal blockage to the device from the aircraft structure. These four diagrams may help make the appropriate selection. Graphics used with permission of Zaon Flight Systems, Inc. See here for the comprehensive Aircraft Compatibility Guide from Zaon.

The Drawing Preferences change how the traffic information is diplayed. The default view of the dedicated traffic page is black on a white background. For night flying it may be easier to view the Inverse Colors (white on black background).

As the target graphic closes on our position the distance and bearing may not be displayed so that it will not obscure the aircraft icon.

The Simple Text Display option displays only the altitude along with the diamond indicating the traffic’s relative location. 

The Simple Text Display options also applies to the Vector map. Below is a portion of a Vector map showing a full traffic listing (left) and the Simple version (right).

Preferences for Traffic may also be accessed through the [Traffic], [Traffic Configure…] menu. The information below is also presented in the In-Flight section under Traffic Status.

 A vertical arrow to the right may be present to indicate climbing or descending traffic.
