(e)
Be patient when switching modes and monitoring the recorder status
changes in the Status Window. It takes the FA5000CVDR up to 5 sec-
onds to stabilize on a mode change and it takes ROSE a maximum of 15
seconds to refresh and display the current operating state of the recorder.
The status update can manually prompted by clicking the Display Status
button.
(f)
When dumping data from the recorder, the type of sync pattern
(ARINC-717) displayed in the file is determined by the type of data set in
the initial Header Word of the 32K-Word Erase Block. This may not initial-
ly match the type set by the ROSE until the dump extends into the next
32K-Word Erase Block.

The following procedures are used to verify the full functionality of the FDR functions of
the FA5000CVDR. This procedure assumes that the ROSE/RI software is installed on
the ROC/7 System and that the RI function is automatically set to activate upon power up
of the ROC/7. Refer to the ROSE/RI, Version 4.5, Operator’s Manual, p/n: 165E1696-03,
for details.

Initial Test Setup (Refer to Figure 201)

face with and fully test the FA5000CVDR Recorder, is already loaded into the Read–
Out Center/7, (ROC/7) Support Equipment.
