ADS-B In
ADS-B In data is received by sending the Target Request Message (Type 0x0B). The Target Request
message is under the Config (Cfg) tab. Operators can configure the number of targets, report types,
transmit port, etc.
ADS-B in data is output in a table format at the top of the GUI. If Auto-output is selected, then the ADS-B
In information is automatically output to the selected communication port. If Default is selected, then the
reports are sent out to the communication port where the target request message was received.
The MXS will send target updates to the Host/Autopilot within 500ms of receiving the update. For systems
that only want the ADS-B In data to be sent upon request and at defined payload lengths the summary
report can be used. Individual Target ADS-B In information can be requested via the Target ID report. The
Auto-output and summary reports will automatically filter on the closest number of targets in reference
to ownship. For Diversity Installations up to 400 targets can be tracked and for single antenna installation
200 targets can be tracked. The Ethernet interface or one of the serial communication ports set at 921.6k
baud rate must be used to guarantee performance when using the Auto-output method and tracking 400
Targets per the DO-260B MOPS.
