Serial port choices

[Rob Hickman]

The good news is that we are making a software change to enable the EFIS serial port to receive aviation and transmit ICARUS altitude data.

EFIS Serial Ports:

#1 RXD Aviation <- GTN650
TXD ICARUS -> GTN650 + GTX330

#2 VP-X

#3 SL30

#4 ARINC Module

Then connect your 330 to the 650 and use it to display traffic.

I'm wiring McCurdy's panel now and need the extra port for a 496 as GPS2. What release will this change be in?

Thanks, Deene Ogden

In the AFS Install manual, it says I can use the EFIS can act as an altitude encoder on Serial
Port 2.

I wired my Serial Ports per your suggestion.

I will soon be putting the forward top skin and I want to make sure the wiring is as
complete as possible before I do it. Will the 4500 provide encoder data on Serial
port 1 as wired, provided the settings are correct?

Thanks,
