3. Software and Configuration
3.1 Configuration Mode Overview
Throughout this document, references are made to the PFD and/or MFD being in configuration
mode. The configuration mode exists to provide the avionics technician with a means of
configuring, checking, and calibrating various G1000 sub-systems. Troubleshooting and
diagnostics information can also be viewed in this mode.
To start the G1000 system in configuration mode, follow these steps:
1. Apply power to the G1000 system by applying aircraft EXT power, selecting the BAT
MASTER and AVIONICS BUS 1 and AVIONICS BUS 2 switches to ON.
2. Pull the MFD, PFD (ESS BUS), and PFD (AVN BUS 1) circuit breakers.
3. Press and hold the ENT key on the MFD while applying power using the MFD circuit
breaker.
4. Release the ENT key
after ‘INITIALIZING SYSTEM’ appears in the upper left corner of
the MFD.
5. Press and hold the ENT key on the PFD while applying power using the PFD (ESS BUS)
circuit breaker.
6.
Release the ENT key after ‘INITIALIZING SYSTEM’ appears in the upper left corner of
the PFD.
CAUTION:
Configuration Mode contains certain pages and settings that are critical to aircraft
operation and safety. These pages are protected and cannot be modified, unless
the technician is properly authorized and equipped. However, most protected
pages are viewable to allow system awareness for troubleshooting.
NOTES
If the specific procedure requires an SD card to be in the top slot of the PFD/MFD,
this card must be inserted prior to applying power to the PFD/MFD. Any time a
card is inserted, the power to the PFD/MFD must be cycled.
For a complete description and breakdown of each Configuration Mode page, refer
to the G1000 System Maintenance Manual listed in Table 1-2.
SET>ACTV Configuration
Throughout the configuration mode pages, there are SET and ACTIVE columns for input/output
settings and other parameters.
SET:
Refers to a setting or group of settings that reside in PFD Internal Memory and/or the
Master Configuration Module.
ACTIVE:
Refers to an ‘active’ setting or parameter currently being used by the LRU. LRUs
store the ‘active’ settings within internal memory.
Data can be manually copied from one column to the other (and consequently from PFD
memory to the LRU memory and vice-versa) by using the following two softkeys, when
available:
•
SET>ACTV (read ‘Set to Active’) softkey: Allows the installer to send the information in
the SET column (data stored in the master config module) to the ACTV column (data
used by LRU).
