Which VX1 version still requires datapod?

Just want to clarify something. Is the Spartan VX1e the only version that you can setup and adjust in the Studio PC software without needing a Datapod?

I just assumed that with the Studio software you have the choice of either that OR the Datapod but just saw something indicating the DP is still required for the VX1 and VX1N.

(I have been using the DP since the beginning so the only time I have used Spartan Studio is for flight logs)

You need the data pod on the VX1 and VX1n because they do not have a usb socket to use the studio software and to upgrade firmware....
VX1e has usb socket so all ok.....

OK, that clarifies it. I thought maybe there was a special cable adaptor for the VX1 / VX1N and as I didn't have such an adaptor I connected mine via the Datapod.
