    How to Transfer settings when Upgrading

    Is there a way to transfer all the settings, particularly the magnetometer calibration data when upgrading from a 3400S to a 5500? I am using the original magnetometer in its original location.

    It would be great not to have to perform the mag calibration again.

    Thanks,

    Chuck

    The 5500 has a new AHRS in it and will require a new mag align. The rest of the settings should transfer without any problems.

    Thanks Rob. For the other settings that can be moved, is this the procedure?

    1) Transfer settings files from the 3400S to SD card
    2) Put SD card with settings into the 5500
    3) load settings from the card into the 5500?

    You've got it. The option is item 4 in the transfer items page in the 5500 "User File Restore".
