Niborex Electronic E6-B for Palm OS Overview
Current version as of 3/8/06 - 1.3.005
The
right software transforms an ordinary handheld device into a powerful aviation
tool. The Niborex Electronic E6-B provides over 40 calculations, functions,
and conversions required for a safe and successful flight. Of key importance
is ease of use. The Niborex Electronic E6-B product allows for full single-handed
operation without the need for a stylus.
E6-B Calculations, Functions, Conversions
With 21 E6-B aviation calculations and 18 aviation conversions (more than any other electronic E6-B), the Niborex Electronic E6-B provides much more.
Situational Awareness
Just knowing where you are, and where you are headed may save your life. The exclusive, easy-to-use, graphical, electronic holding and landing pattern entry calculators provide pilots critical situational awareness at the touch of a button.
Flight Timers
The best-of-breed, precision timer includes stopwatch functionality for counting up/down, and even tracking holding legs.
Weight & Balance
Very few things in aviation are as critical as proper weight and balance calculations. This fast and easy-to-use weight and balance calculator ensures every flight is a safe one.
Navigation
The NE6B is simple to operate and easy to understand. Navigation is as quick as pressing a button. To perform a calculation, just navigate to the desired function and enter the requested values. Once all the required data fields are filled in, the NE6B will automatically calculate the desired result.
To change a value already entered, just select the desired field by either tapping it or use the navigation buttons built into your device. The current field is indicated by the arrow next to it. As soon as you accept a new value, the results are automatically calculated. Values are accepted by selecting another field, pressing enter, or navigating away from the current field.
To
force a calculation, you may press the
button at any time. If all required values are present, the calculation
will take place and the resulting value will be displayed.
If
necessary, you may press the
button to quickly erase all displayed values.
When
you are finished with a function, just press the
button to return to the previous screen. All entered and calculated
values will be retained for use in other functions.
Menus are selected by either pressing the menu button on the device or tapping in the title section of the screen.
Data Entry
All screens are designed to be processed either by using the stylus or with one finger while holding the device in your hand. Values can be entered using all the standard methods supported by your device including handwriting recognition, the standard pop-up keyboard, or the custom NE6B data entry keypad.
Pressing
the
button will display the custom data entry keypad which is designed for use
with your finger. In addition, a variety of data conversions can be
selected by pressing the
button from the keypad screen.
The data entry screens accept the standard Cut, Copy, and Paste edit menu options.
Once a value is accepted, it is automatically rounded to the appropriate decimal place.
Keypad
When
the
button is pressed, a full screen keypad will appear. This screen will
have the title of the value to be entered. This keypad works like
any standard calculator keypad. You just press the numbers you desire
and they appear.
If
you need to erase a value completely, press the
button.
If
you need to erase just the last digit displayed, press the
button.
To
convert a number from one type to another, press the
button and the conversion menu will appear. You may then select the
type of conversion you desire.
Once
you are satisfied with the value you have entered you may press the
button. If you do not wish to use the value displayed, simply press
the
button. After pressing either button you will be returned to the previous
data entry screen. If you accepted the value, the next field will
be selected for you automatically. If you declined the value, you
will be returned to the same field you where on when you called for the
keypad.
If the value you are entering allows, your keypad will have additional buttons such as :, ., and +/-. If you do not see these buttons, this is an indication that the requested value does not accept such input.
Conversions
The
NE6B provides many standard conversions at a click of a button. When
the
button is pressed from the custom keypad, a list of appropriate conversions
will be displayed. That is to say, if the field you are in is asking
for a distance value, you will be allowed to convert to/from nautical miles,
statute miles, kilometers, feet and meters. If the field you are in
is asking for a time value, you will be allowed to convert decimal hours
to/from standard time formatted values.
To convert any value to any other value, without restriction, please use the generic Conversion function.

Landing
The Landing screen allows you to visualize the various headings required for each leg of the traffic pattern. This screen requires that you enter the desired runway heading. The various wind components will also be displayed if the proper wind direction and speed are entered.
To
change from left to right traffic, press the
button.
To
change the runway, wind direction, or wind speed, press the appropriate
button and the custom data entry keypad will be displayed. Enter an appropriate
value between degrees 1-360. Runway headings are entered as full headings.
For example, runway 18 is entered as 180. Once selected, the
and
arrows will change the values in appropriate increments.
Holding
The Holding screen allows you to visualize the various entries required for an IFR holding pattern. This screen requires that you enter your current heading and the assigned radial. A line will be drawn that indicates your current flight path relative to the required pattern. If a teardrop entry is required, the recommended entry heading will also be displayed.
To
change the pattern from standard to non-standard, press the
button.
To
change the heading or radial, press the appropriate button and the custom
data entry keypad will be displayed. Enter an appropriate value between
degrees 1-360. Once selected, the
and
arrows will change the values in appropriate increments.
The
Timers screen provides two separate timers for your flying needs: a Primary
Timer for basic up/down counting, and a Leg Timer ideal for use during holds.
The Primary Timer
is initiated by pressing the
button. Once started, the timer begins to count in the direction of the
arrow next to time displayed. To change the direction, press the
or
button. You may change direction while the timer is in progress. To pause
the timer press the
button. Timing can be resumed by pressing the
button once again. To set the timer back to "00:00:00", press the
button. If desired, an initial time value can be entered by pressing the
display time button. A keypad will then be displayed, allowing the entry
of any valid time value. Once the new time value is accepted, the timer
can be used to count up or down from that point.
The Leg Timer works
much like the Primary Timer, except that when the
button is pressed, the current time is recorded in one of four leg counters
and the timer is reset to "00:00:00". Each successive press of the
button increments the counter. When the counter reaches position four, it
wraps to the position one and starts over. To erase all the values stored
in the leg counters, press the
button.
Entering Time Values
Time values may be entered in one of two formats: hours, minutes, and seconds separated by colons in the format of "HH:MM:SS", or in decimal hour equivalents in the format of H.h (where H is the whole hour and h is the fraction thereof). If you enter a decimal value, the display will be converted to the standard time format once you accept that value. For example, if you key in "1.252" the display will show "01:15:07". The maximum time value is "99:59:59", if you enter a value greater than this, the field will be replaced with "Err".
Flight
Items
The Flight Items
screen lists all of the current weight and balance items stored on the device.
As you enter individual items, a running total for weight, moment and center
of gravity are calculated. To add a new item, press the
button. Items appear in the order they are entered. The NE6B supports an
unlimited number of items. To edit a particular item, select the item in
the list, then press the
button. To delete a particular item, select the item, then press the
button. You will be presented with a dialog box confirming that you really
want to delete the item. If you respond affirmatively, the item will be
permanently deleted. When you are finished with the weight and balance functions,
press the
button to return to the previous screen.
Item
Edit
The Item Edit screen
allows you to enter the Weight and Arm for each critical flight item. The
Item field accepts a textual description for the item to be calculated.
Once the Weight and Arm fields are accepted, the current Movement, Total
Weight, and current Center of Gravity is calculated. To add a new item,
press the
button. To delete the current item, press the
button. If there are multiple items in the database, the
and
buttons may appear depending upon your location in the list.
To change a value already entered, just select the desired field by either tapping it or use the navigation buttons built into your device. The current field is indicated by the arrow next to it. As soon as you accept a new value, the results are automatically calculated. Values are accepted by selecting another field, pressing enter, or navigating away from the current field.
Pressing the
button will display the custom data entry keypad which is designed for use
with your finger.
To force a calculation,
you may press the
button at any time. If all required values are present, the calculation
will take place and the resulting value will be displayed.
If necessary, you
may press the
button to quickly erase all displayed values.
