Display Features
Barometric Pressure Digital Display
The barometric pressure digital display is located in the upper right
corner of the display, above the altitude tape. The barometric pressure
setting is used to correct displayed altitude for local barometric
pressure. Release 1.2 adds a black background to the display.
When the Pilot menu is closed the knob is used to change the barometric
pressure setting. The Barometric units can be changed using the Pilot
menu. Three units are available: “in. Hg”, “hPa” and “mb”. the standard
barometric pressure setting can also be set by pressing the knob. The
barometric (baro) pressure ranges and standard values are shown in
the table below:
Unit Standard Value Lowest Value Highest Value
In. Hg 29.92 16.00 32.50
hPa 1013 542 1100
mb 1013 542 1100
Conguration Options:
• Digit Color - White, Green or Cyan
If congured, the vertical speed digital readout is located on the
altitude tape below the altitude digital readout. The vertical speed
digital display range is from -9900 feet per minute (FPM) to +9900
FPM. See Figure 3-6.
The vertical speed digital display digits is displayed to a resolution
of 100 FPM when the magnitude of vertical speed is greater than or
equal to 1000 FPM and 20 FPM when the magnitude of vertical speed
is less than 1000 FPM. When the magnitude of the vertical speed is
less than 60 FPM, the vertical speed indicator shows 0 FPM.
An up/down direction arrow is displayed in front of the digits pointing
up for positive speeds, down for negative speeds, and removed when
speed is 0.
When the vertical speed is not within the normal range the readout
has an amber outline and the digit and arrow color changes from white
to amber.
Vertical Speed
Vertical Speed Invalidity
When invalid vertical speed data is detected, the vertical speed digital
display is removed.
