Argus

Terminal

Mode

The

Argus

can

be

used

as

a

display

terminal.

When

this

feature

is

selected,

the

Argus

screen

can

depict

alphanumeric

information

and

graphics

sent

to

it

by

an

external

device

such

as

a

fuel

flow

indicator,

transponder

data

link,

or

other

source

of

serial

data.

The

first

part

of

this

section

describes

operation

of

the

Argus

as

a

terminal,

and

is

intended

to

be

used

in

conjunction

with

information

provided

by

the

manufacturer

of

equipment

connected

to

the

Argus.

The

second

part

contains

the

technical

information

necessary

to

use

the

Argus

terminal

capability,

such

as

interface

data.

This

part

is

intended

for

programmers

and

developers

who

wish

to

connect

their

own

equipment

to

the

Argus.

It

also

may

be of

interest

to

builders

of

experimental

aircraft

who

wish

to

use

the

Argus

as

a

display

for

their

own

avionics

sensors

or

other

equipment.

Terminal

Mode

Operation

There

are

two

possibilities

for

terminal

mode

operation:

dedicated

and

on-demand.

When

the

Argus

is

set

up

as

a

dedicated

terminal,

the

only

Argus

control

defined

explicitly

is

the

ON/OFF/BRIGHTNESS

knob.

When

the

Argus

is

powered

on,

it

will

go

through

selftest

and

display

the

serial

number

page.

At

this

time

the

brightness

control

is

active

and

may

be

adjusted

for

the

desired

illumination.

To

enter

terminal

mode,

press

any

button.

This

causes

the

Argus

to

enter

the

terminal

mode

with

a blank

screen.

The

display

is

now

completely

controlled

by

the

external

device

to

which

it

is

connected,

with

the

exception

of

power

on/off.

Any

information

on

the

Argus

screen

is

generated

by

the

external

accessory,

and

if

you

press

any

buttons

on

the

Argus,

they

are

communicated

to

the

external

accessory.

Therefore,

all

further

information

about

Argus

operation

in

this

mode

must

be

supplied

by

the

manufacturer

of

the

accessory.

Important

Note:

If

the

accessory

is

not

turned

on

or

is

defective,

it

can

appear

that

the

Argus

is

not

working.

If

you

suspect

this

may

be

the

case,

it

is

possible

to

go

into

the

SETUP

mode

to

see

if

the

Argus

works

in

other

modes.

If

you

do

so,

be

sure

to

make

a

note

of

the

baud

rate

and

other

SETUP

parameters

on

the

page

immediately

following

the

page

on

which

the

terminal

is

selected

so

you

can

reset

them

when

returning

to

terminal

mode.

(See

SETUP.)
