2.13 CHRONOMETER SYSTEM OPERATION
The chronometer system has BOTH digital and graphic displays of
various time-related parameters. The digital readout displays hours
'HRS', minutes 'MIN', and seconds 'SEC', continuously. The exclusive
positive-action rotary switch is used to select the various operating
modes.
The CHRONOMETER displays time in a 24 hour format. Both local
hours 'LOC' and universal 'UTC' time functions are provided. The stop
watch timer will both 'count up' and 'count down'.
In the 'Count Down mode' the graphic display initially starts at full
scale, and as time counts down, decreases in size proportionately
(i.e. when half the initial time remains, half of the graph remains). This
is very handy for timing instrument approaches, fuel tank changes
and next fix arrival.
An additional feature is the alarm annunciator. When time expires, the
entire display flashes alerting you to this fact. This is great for
applications such as timing approaches, time to destination or
expected checkpoint, or time to change tanks -- to name just a few.
The following page contains easy steps for initial setup and operation
of your chronometer.
