WingX 2.0 User Manual - FAASafety.gov

Screen Layout
The WingX Agent screen is divided into logical sections which are explained below.
Account Information
WingX Agent will display the date of WingX registration as well as what
level of subscription is active and how long until it expires. In the
example on the right, WingX was registered on August 2, 2006 with a
Level B subscription which has another 9 months to go until it expires.
Database Download and Install
The central part of WingX Agent is the database download and install
functionality. Having current WingX databases is obviously important
and WingX Agent ensures that even if the Pocket PC is unable to obtain
an Internet connection, that the databases can still be downloaded and
updated. Each of the databases has its own download button. When
one of the buttons is pressed, the appropriate database is downloaded
and its download progress is displayed in the progress bar. Additionally, the Cancel button becomes enabled
and allows the user to cancel the download at any time. Once the download has completed, the database is
copied to the device and WingX Agent displays the following message:
Backup/Restore
Pocket PCs are meant to be carried around and used ‘on the go’. As a
result, occasionally a Pocket PC gets dropped, breaks, or otherwise
becomes unusable. While the WingX application itself can be
reinstalled, and the databases downloaded, the pilot’s personal Aircraft
Database, Route Database, and Waypoint Database may not be recoverable from the broken device. Therefore
WingX Agent provides the ability to backup these important files to the desktop. We suggest backing up
WingX at least once a week or more often if aircraft, routes, and/or waypoints are being added, removed, or
modified. Before backing up and/or restoring, select the Backup/Restore directory via the File menu option.
