Makito X1 Rugged Encoder

Configuring Serial Metadata Sources

Note

The Makito X1 automatically creates the Serial metadata source if the COM Port Mode is set to Metadata. See (1.3 2) Managing the COM Port.  

You can configure the Makito X1 to extract either KLV or CoT metadata packets from the serial port. You must specify the Data Format, and for CoT metadata, the Max AirCraftSPI Delta.

  1. From the Metadata List View, click the Settings icon AR_settings.png on the Serial metadata source (i.e., the first source in the list).

  2. On the Serial Source Detail View, type in the Name for the source.
