DB-9 (Port 2)
Port 2 is a male DB-9 connector. This is used as an RS-232 COM port on the
CPU for an alternative altitude input if the FMS does not supply altitude
information. In this case, it is recommended that an Icarus serializer is used,
and pinned to Port 2. Set the serializer to communicate at 9600 baud, and
change the following line in the Vista.ini configuration file:
[Icarus]
…
Use Icarus=True
Contact Flight Display Systems for more information on configuring the
Vista.ini file.
Note: The COM port can also be used with Heads-Up’s XMD076 XM
Receiver in order to provide data for the Weather Upgrade.
