EXTERNAL CONTROL
Control inputs such as squawk code, call sign, and mode control
(IDENT, Altitude Inhibit, Transmit Standby) are needed by the
KGX 150T/130T. The KGX 150T/130T can receive control inputs from
the KGX Control Panel, compatible transponder, and/or MFD. If an
external controller is configured and functional with the KGX Control
Panel installed, the KGX Control Panel displays status, but locks out
user control inputs. When control inputs are locked, the KGX Control
Panel displays reverse video of the transponder squawk code, as
shown in Figure 2--5.

Reverse Video of Transponder Squawk Code
If control inputs are received in ARINC format, then the call sign on the
Call Sign/Flight ID page cannot be changed and is displayed in reverse
video, as shown in Figure 2--6.

The KGX Control Panel will remain locked for approximately
70 seconds for Mode A/C transponders and 7 seconds for other
controllers each time they are interrogated. During this time the
IDENT
and
VFR
buttons on the KGX Control Panel are disabled and the
squawk code cannot be changed using the KGX Control Panel.
However, the
FN
button can still be used to view other information.
