    Gary, if you go to the ABOUT page (CHECK -> MAINT -> ABOUT), it will show the age of all the WX data as well as the number of WX packets received.

    I'm finishing up wiring my ADS-600B to my 4500 and GTX-330 and I'm confused by the pin call-outs in the "ADS600-B to AFS Interconnect Diagram". I understand the need to connect pin 33 on the ADS600B to one of the RS232 out pins on the transponder for remote control, however the diagram also calls for connecting pin 35 to "Transponder Suppression Input" but dos not provide what pin on the transponder to use (I'm assuming by the description it connects to the transponder). I find no other reference in the newest install docs and don't know what it's purpose is. Anybody know?

    Update:
    Got an email response from Bill Moffitt and he said that pin 35 on the ADS600B does in deed connect to pin 31 on the GTX-330. This is required so that both don't try and transmit at the same time.

    Also another tidbit regarding composite TIS. Bill says don't waste time trying to setup for composite TIS since anywhere there is TIS-A, there is now TIS-B. Composite TIS is a old feature that is no longer needed and not worth the extra wiring.

    Do you have it connected using the TIS interface or the display port like our manual shows?

    The EFIS does not limit the number of targets, the ADSB box might be doing it. I just updated the AF-5000 manual with the Navworx software and it should be the same as the AF-4500.

    Rob,

    Yes, I have serial #3 connected to the display port as shown in the manual.

    I'm installing the Navworx ADS 600 with an AFS 3500 and 4500 and GTX 327. I understand the serial connections in/out. I also see the post with connection of the ADS 600 pin 35 to the xponder suppression pin. On the GTX 327 this is pin 17. I don't see any reference to programming the GTX 327 for the suppression function. Is there any programming of the GTX 327 required?
    I have all serial ports used on the 4500 so I am connecting the ADS600 to the serial ports on the 3500. As I understand it in order for the ADS-B to display on the 4500 I need to transfer the port characteristics to the 4500? Or is this only when updating system software?
    Also it took me awhile to find the procedure for getting to the 3500 and 4500 configuration screens. There is reference on page 70 to 'instrument calibration' but no reference as to the button push sequence to get there. Finally found it in appendix J.

    GHOSTING
    In reviewing the GTX 327 pinouts and config for serial out there is no REMOTE + TIS setting for the GTX 327 serial 1 out. Only ICARUS ALT and REMOTE are options for the port. The ADS600 appears to have a config command for the GTX 327 according to the AFS system manual p. 50. Is there/what is the solution?

    Timely question as I'm about ready to install my ADS600B as well this week. I just realised that I had all the settings for this one as well.

    Since the GTX327 doesn't know about TIS, that's not an option. If you look at the NavWorx manul on the ADS600B to GTX 327 interconnect document page, it does talk about the altitude encoder, but doesn't specifically mention setting the port to ICARUS. I think ICARUS is the correct setting. I suspect that the ADS600 just needs some method to validate what the 327 is transmitting to eliminate it as a potential traffic alert.

    1. The ADS600B will only work with a "S" CPU (AF-3400s,AF-3500s or AF-4500s) It will not work with the older non "S" AF-3400 or AF-3500.

    2. The RS-232 serial line from the GTX-327 to the ADS600B is for setting the Transponder code in the ADS600B. When you enter a code on the GTX327 it sends the code to the ADS600B.

    3. I do not believe that there is any programming needed for the suppression line, you should check with Navworxs.

    4. You should not have to do any serial port settings on the screen that is not connected to the Navworx unit.
