Proper operation of the interface and system, with the specific equipment
configuration, must be demonstrated at installation time.
B.3.1 Configuration
Certain third-party EFIS displays have the capability to send barometric
pressure altitude data and control the mode and squawk functions of the
tailBeaconX through an available RS-232 serial output. Position data is not
required to be provided by the EFIS, as the tailBeaconX has an integrated
GPS function. tailBeaconX configuration must take place through the
“skyBeacon Installer” application as guided in Section 9.
Only the EFIS serial OUTPUT is required. If no configuration information is
provided in the compatible equipment table above, the parameters should
be set as follows.
