ACROWRX - Left & Right Menus

📢 - INFO

This page describes the left and right slide-out menus of the Analysis Window.

Accessing the Menus

The Analysis Window has two slide-out menus accessed from grip tabs on the left and right edges of the screen. Click a grip tab to open the corresponding menu. Click it again or click on the main view area to close it.

Left Menu

The left menu contains controls for loading data, setting the judge/box location, saving locations, uploading flights to the database, and downloading data.

Upload Controls

At the top of the left menu, you can load your flight data and video:

• Choose File — Opens a file picker to load a flight data file (.dat, .acrowrx, .acrowrx_plus, .bin).
• Choose Video — Opens a file picker to load a video file for synchronization. This button is only available after flight data has been loaded.
• Smoothing — A toggle to enable or disable data smoothing. When enabled, the flight data is filtered to reduce noise. This setting is applied at load time; to change it, you must reload the data.

📌 - TIP

Load your flight data before attempting to load a video. The video upload button becomes active only after flight data is present.

Speed Units

These unit settings affect all distance and speed displays across the entire Analysis Window, including the time history chart, HUD displays, and altitude readouts.
