FLARM Terminal can be used to monitor and control a FLARM device via the standard RS232 interface. Just hook up your FLARM to a Windows PC using a FLARM programming cable (RJ12 <-> 9 pins RS232) and fire up this tool.
You can easily make this cable yourself, or buy one from your local gliding equipment dealer.
Once connected, use the Command menu to request information or change some of the settings of your device. The command set is based on the documentation provided by FLARM.
