See what you've been missing! Get traffic information on your Hangar B-17 system straight from your XRX. Zaon and Hangar B-17 have teamed up to provide highly-accurate traffic information directly on the screen of your Palm, Pocket-PC or tablet based system.

Hooking up an XRX to your Hangar B-17 system is simple and easy. An available Bluetooth device enables your XRX to send traffic wirelessly to the Hangar B-17 device. Or, a serial cable is available for devices that may not have an available Bluetooth channel.

What you see

TCAS-style Icons and Info Similar to weather and terrain info and alerts, traffic information is overlayed directly on any view within the Hangar B-17 environment. The top three threats are displayed at the same time on the screen. Traffic information is displayed in the form of a white open diamond (no threat), white closed diamond (advisory) or an amber circle (threat). The traffic's relative altitude is also displayed next to the traffic icon. For example, an aircraft 400 feet above would be displayed as +04. The climb or descend trend is also displayed as either an up or down arrow.

Traffic Alert! If traffic becomes a threat, as determined by the XRX, several things happen. A “traffic alert” message will appear on the Hangar B-17 display, and XRX provides the standard female voice and beep alerts to get your attention.

How to hook it up

Wireless Simplicity  To make hookup as painless as possible, Zaon has developed a Bluetooth module that sends XRX information wirelessly to any Bluetooth-enabled device, including PDAs and tablets. For non-Bluetooth-enabled devices, a serial cable is available from Hangar B-17.

Minimum Requirements

The minimum requirements are needed to show traffic:

• XRX with any version of software
• PalmEFIS, WinEFIS, PocketEFIS Software 2.0+ running the traffic module and at least one of the following modules: attitude, moving map, terrain, weather. Note: Palm hardware cannot run weather and traffic at the same time. 
• Zaon Bluetooth module or serial cable provided by Hangar B-17
