The B57 can do nothing without connection to a B50.the B57 is simply a
glider computer with GPS inputs (it also can be used as a dead reckoning
computer without GPS but in any case requires the Vario data available only
from the B50.
the manuals for B50 and B57 are on my website page

A friend bought a glider. It came with a Borgelt B57 in a box (not in
the glider). There is a Borgelt B50 vario still in the glider. From
what I read the B57 must have a B50 to function. Thus the B57 by
itself is useless. Right?
Also, I read in the manual about "GPS" but there are next to zero
details. I don't even see which pins that power is supplied, or the
voltage needed (comes from the B50?). Does anyone have a wiring
diagram for the Borgelt B57? To a GPS? To a PDA (if even
possible)? The manual on the Borgelt site isn't very illuminating.
Thanks, John DeRosa
I believe that the B50 and B57 are totally separate systems. The B57 has
two units, one which is a vario gauge that takes its information from the
main unit. You can't use a B50 as the gauge for the B57.
You can output the B57 info to a PDA if the B57 has the right hardware.
Your best bet is to email Borgelt. He is pretty responsive.
