4.5.1 SET and ACTIVE Softkeys
When troubleshooting the system the technician can look for inequalities (configuration
mismatch) between SET and ACTIVE columns. Certain problems can be resolved by pressing
the SET>ACTV softkey which reloads settings to the specific LRU from the PFD (this can also
be accomplished by reloading the configuration files for the LRU, using the G1000 SW Loader
Card. Use the ACTV>SET softkey with care. If an improperly configured unit is installed, this
softkey causes the wrong configuration to replace the correct one.
SET
—refers to a setting or group of settings that reside in the PFD’s internal memory and/or
master configuration module.
ACTIVE
—refers to a current setting stored and used in a LRU. LRUs store the ‘active’ settings
within internal memory.
Data can be manually copied from one column to the other by using the following two softkeys:
SET>ACTV
(Set to Active)—allows the installer to send the information in the SET column
(data stored in the master configuration module) to the ACTV column (data used by the LRU).
