I have the compact model of the Body Solid Functional Trainer. The height on it is not really high enough to do a Lat Pulldown that is primarily pulling down like you usually see. On the Chart that came with it they show a Lat Pulldown where the lifter is sitting a bit back from the rack with their back arched and pulling from there. It is over a 45 degree angle but I am not sure that this I am engaging my lats properly with this one.
In my current workout I do Cable Rows and I'm supposed to follow that with a Lat Pulldown. The 3rd excercise is an attempt at Reverse Flyes that I never feel like I have good form on.
See the first excercise on the third row of the linked Excercise Chart
Is there a better way to do the Lat Pulldowns?
