NOTES
1.
It is possible for multiple data inputs (barometric altimeter, radio
altimeter, magnetic heading and GPS navigation) from one source to
be received on one channel (e.g., ARINC-429 superbus). Multiple data
inputs will be indicated by the word Multi in the ARINC 429 Receiver
Menu.
2.
The data rate for receive channels 1 and 2 must be set to the same
speed (12.5 or 100 kHz). The data rate for receive channels 3 and 4
must be set to the same speed (12.5 or 100 kHz). The data rate for
channel 5 is independent of the other receivers. Channel 5 can be set to
12.5 or 100 kHz.
3.
Autodetect will configure the equipment type and speed of each
receiver channel. To identify the equipment Autodetect checks for
ARINC-429 label 377 (equipment ID), if that's not present then it
checks for label 371 (general aviation equipment ID). If the equipment
can not be identified then the receiver channel will be set to the default
of NoType and NoSpeed. Autodetect will not work for multiple data
inputs (i.e., ARINC-429 superbus).
a.
The ARINC 429 Receivers menu will appear. With all (source) avionics equipment turned on
highlight and select the RX channel to be configured.
