·Slow Connection - Check if using a serial connection with long delays. Useful for radio modem serial logging.

Note: When the Fuel Equation Mode is set to Modelled - Multi Fuel PCLink will always use Lambda units.

Note: The Speed selection also dictates fuel volume, big distance units and fuel consumption per distance units (kph is km, l & l/100km. mph is mi, gal(US) & mpg(US)).

Directories

The directories tab allows the user to specify folders where Basemaps, Log Files and Layout files will always be loaded from.

By default, the default boxes will be checked meaning PCLink will use it's hard-coded default folders.

By unchecking the default box and leaving it unchecked, you can set your own directories for PCLink to open for each file type.
