2.9 CHRONOMETER OPERATION
The
chronometer system
has
BOTH
digital
and
graphic
displays
of
various time-related
parameters.
The
digital readout
displays hours
'HRS',
minutes'MlN',
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'.
ln
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
yog
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.
