Configuration File Storage
The G1000 system is designed to store all configuration settings in various places so that the
configuration is retained in the aircraft during maintenance of units.
During system configuration, each file is sent directly to the applicable LRU where it is stored in
local LRU memory (reference Figure 3-5.). Each file is also stored in the PFD internal memory.
The applicable PFD also sends a copy of all configuration files to the ‘Master Configuration
module’, located in the connector backshell (see Section 6.17). If the PFD is replaced, the
configuration module retains all configuration files in the aircraft.
The GSU 75B, GRS 77/7800, GMU 44, and GDC 7400 configuration/calibration (reference
Figure 3-6) is different than the LRU’s shown in Figure 3-5.

G1000 Master Configuration Module
(located in PFD backshell connector)
Master configuration module contains identical
backup configuration files of PFD configuration
memory. PFD cross-checks these backup files
against files contained with PFD memory. PFD self-
configures to match master configuration module.
