Avionics operation
This section explains how to use Option 006 when fitted to a 2050T series Signal Generator.
Familiarity with the normal operation of the instrument is assumed.
The Avionics option offers modes of operation suitable for testing ILS and VOR systems. It also
provides efficient testing of ADF (Automatic Direction Finders) and SEL-CAL receivers. It is
assumed that the operator has some knowledge of the operation of these avionics systems.
The Avionics mode is selected by pressing the [UTIL] key and selecting the
[Mod'n Mode]
key on
the Utilities 1 page shown in Fig. A-1 to obtain the menu shown in Fig. A-2. Selecting
[Avionics
Mode]
from this menu will result in the
Avionics Mode Selection
shown in Fig. A-3 being
displayed. Pressing the appropriate soft key will result in the instrument entering the required
mode of operation; pressing
[Other Modes]
returns the display to the
Modulation Mode Selection
menu
