Reference Inputs:
General Description...........................AC or DC excitation used to excite the heading bug on the HSI
or DG. The GDC31 uses the reference input to produce a
steering signal with correct phase and amplitude characteristics.
Two reference inputs are provided. Use only one, depending on
the autopilot type. The unused input will be a no-connect. See
typical interconnect diagrams later in this manual.
