5.3.20 TRAFFIC Page
NOTE
The following pages are only available if one of the RS-232 inputs is configured for the
Ryan TCAD or one of the ARINC 429 inputs is configured for Traffic Advisory,
GDL 88, GDL 88 w/TCAD, or GDL 88 w/TCAS.
Select the TRAFFIC Page (see Figure 5-26). This page
shows the modes of operation and current traffic situation
for traffic systems connected using an ARINC 429
interface..
For traffic systems connected via ARINC 429, this page
shows:
1. The altitude mode—below (BLW), normal
(NORM), above (ABV), or unrestricted (UNR)
2. The operating mode—standby (STBY) or
operating (OPER)
3. Current altitude (ALT)
4. Altitude limits being imposed (LIM A and LIM B)
5. Heading, and barometric (BARO) and radio (RAD) altitude status.
For traffic systems connected via ARINC 429 (see Figure 5-26), verify that the 400W Series unit can
change the traffic system operating mode (STBY or OPER). In standby mode, verify that the traffic
system may be placed in self-test mode by highlighting ―Test Mode?‖ and pressing ENTER on the 400W
Series unit. Refer to the appropriate traffic system installation manual for traffic system checkout.
For Ryan TCAD (see Figure 5-27) systems connected using
an RS-232 interface, this page shows the current shield mode
and altitude. Verify that the TCAD shield mode may be
changed—Ground (GND), Terminal (TML), Standard
(STD), En Route (ENR), or Unrestricted (UNR), and that the
TCAD is reporting the correct altitude. Refer to the Ryan
TCAD installation manual for system checkout.
NOTE
For main software version 3.20 or later, an alternate traffic color is available by pressing
the MENU key while on the TRAFFIC page and selecting ―Use Alternate Trfc Color?‖
Selection of this option causes non-TA traffic to be displayed in cyan instead of white,
which is the default color.
