System Overview 1-7
The keypad is a QWERTY layout with a few special function
buttons along the outer edges and a row of number keys along
the top of the keypad.
Just above the keypad is a display that is split into two distinct
areas: a semi-permanent display of the com and nav frequencies
on the left half of the display and a set of user-configurable
datablocks in the right half. This datablock area is temporarily
replaced by a display that is relevant to the operation being
performed on the keyboard (e.g. com tuning, transponder code
input, autopilot target setting, FMS data entry, etc).
