When setting the dimming curve with the dimming control set to external input (EXT
5V/EXT 14V/ EXT 28V), the X-axis of the dimming graph will read VOLTAGE and will
range from 0 to (5, 14 or 28). This represents the voltage input of the lighting bus and
shows the current input with the vertical blue line. The Y-axis represents brightness of
the display. It will track the dimming curve with the horizontal blue line as the input
voltage increases or decreases. With a lighting bus input, the dimming curve adds a ‘low-
level output’ feature. This allows the unit to be set to a high-brightness level to maintain
daylight visibility when the lighting bus is turned down very low or off, as it may be
during daylight hours. The best method for setting the dimming curve is to simulate the
range of lighting inputs or conditions to match other instruments. This is best done after
installation, in the actual aircraft instrument panel, but can be simulated in various
environments. See Figure 4.10.
1)
Change the lighting bus input until the vertical blue line matches (or nearly
matches) the yellow highlighted point on the graph.
2)
Adjust the control knob to increase or decrease the brightness of the display
to the desired level at that lighting bus position (the point will move up or
down, respectively).
3)
When satisfied, press the control knob.
4)
The next point will be highlighted.
5)
Repeat Steps 1-4 for each point on the sloped line of the graph.
6)
The next highlighted point will be on the vertical zero line. As the lighting
bus is turned down or off, there may be a point where it should default to a
set level (typically for daylight visibility). Adjust this dot horizontally with the
control knob to set the low-input level of the lighting bus where the default
brightness takes effect. You can verify where this occurs by adjusting the
lighting bus input. Press the control knob to accept the position chosen. If
this point is not set, the display will follow the dimming curve previously
programmed and will be respond to the position of the first point when the
lighting bus is turned off.
7)
The next highlighted point will set the default low-input brightness. With the
lighting bus input to the left of the previous set point, adjust the brightness
up or down to the desired level. Press the control knob to accept the position
chosen.

CONFIGURE AIRCRAFT
The CONFIGURE AIRCRAFT menu option opens the sub-menu shown below in Figure 4.11. Note the
sub-menu title at the top of the screen and indication (>) that there is a parent menu associated with
it. The CONFIGURE AIRCRAFT will return the user back to the CONFIGURE MENU.
