4.4.2 Altitude Check
The altitude check displays the current state of the altitude inputs. Individual
Gillham code lines are shown to assist in fault tracing.
4.4.3 Lighting Bus
The lighting bus check displays the voltage on the lighting bus to assist in
verifying the correct operation of the lighting bus.
4.4.4 Temperature
The internal temperature of the transponder can be displayed. The display is
in degrees Celsius.
4.4.5 GPS Interface
The GPS interface check provides a simple confidence check that the
transponder is receiving data on the RS232 input. Note that this check does
not attempt to decode the received data; it is intended only to provide a quick
wiring check in the hangar. To assure that the interface is fully operable the
aircraft should be tested with the transponder in normal operating mode, with
the GPS receiver operating correctly, and a ramp test of the transmitted
parameters completed.
