ITEM DESCRIPTION
Internal Software Strap Internal strap code derived from internal circuit
jumpers CJ1 and CJ2 located in the unit bezel
assembly. These internal straps are used by
software to identify the version of unit hardware: 0 =
Dual Axis with Altitude Preselect (--7xxx), 1 = Dual
Axis (--5xxx), 2 = Single Axis (--2xxx).
Aircraft Strap Strap code derived from open/ground discrete inputs
which represent the harness strap value for a
particular aircraft installation. Identified as
STRAP_6 through STRAP_1 in the harness,
STRAP_6 represents the most significant bit and
STRAP_1 the least significant bit. A ground on the
input represents logic “one” and an open represents
a logic “zero”. During preflight test, these inputs are
compared against the strap code defined in the
certification data stored in the configuration module.
