horizontal deviation bars when gyro and fluxgate are flagged.

does not affect compass card when a King KG-102 is used as the gyro source.

clarity.
- Added new error message ‘INVERTER CONFIG ERROR’ to
flag invalid system configuration when external 400HZ inverter is required.

maintenance page.
- Added display of software version in system maintenance
page.

3/02/00 |
- Corrected a scenario where the flash memory could be
corrupted, resulting in the unit not powering up.
- Corrected a scenario where the compass card could be erratic
when used with an RS-232 GPS.
- Corrected a scenario where pressing certain key combinations
at the same time (pressing NAV and MAP simultaneously, for example) could cause the unit
to be unable to access the map setup function.
- Corrected a scenario where the A-B function could have
corrupted setup parameters, resulting in the unit powering off when the A-B button was
pressed.
- Added the following diagnostic fields to maintenance page 2:
FG error count, ADC re-sync count and 400HZ loss count.
- Holding pattern, procedure turn and DME arc depictions from
ARINC 429 data are temporarily removed.
|
| 2.03 |
1/21/00 |
- Corrected an occasional instability in the compass card
which was observed on some installations using non KG-102 gyros.
- Correctly flags invalid ARINC 429 GPS output.
- Corrected an issue with keep alive power where SN3308 went
through complete startup procedure following a brief power interruption instead of the
quick startup procedure.

database. Displays airports, navaids, intersections and airspace. Also
displays courselines between active waypoints
- Added map auto-ranging functions through the up and down
arrows
- Waypoints and courselines drawn in standard colors
- Added option to hide course pointer when moving map and
courseline from flight plan is shown
- Corrected handling of direct-to flight plans from IIMorrow
GPS units
- Improved graphics processing to eliminate "barber
pole" effect in course pointer
- Improved gyro smoothing

allows map data over RS-232
- Supports Collins VIR-30A nav receiver
- Supports ARINC 568 DME receivers

excitation

01/28/99 |
- Auto-slew function retains last known course if
communication with GPS receiver is lost. This prevents an inadvertent course
change.
- Fixed a very rare situation in which a map waypoint may be
incorrectly displayed when data source is an RS-232 GPS.
- System is now compatible with Sandel Demonstrator Box
without the need for special software.
|

01/02/99 |
- Northstar receivers are now supported and selectable in the
LNAV setup pages.
|
| 1.11 |
12/15/98 |
- Intermittent NAV bearing pointer fixed. The acceptable
range of composite nav signal levels has been increased, preventing an occasional
flickering of the RMI bearing pointer when connected to NAV1 or NAV2.
|
| 1.09 |
11/25/98 |
- ILS lockout (forcing selection of NAV whenever ILS ENERGIZE
is valid) is now selectable in setup. This allows installers to decide whether or
not tuning an ILS frequency on the NAV receiver should force the HSI to having
"NAV" selected as the primary nav source. Disabling ILS Lockout also
allows for the display of GPS vertical deviation, since the ILS ENERGIZE signal causes the
vertical scale to be displayed for either GPS or NAV. Consult the latest
installation manual or contact Sandel for
guidance on enabling GPS vertical deviation.

- Nav/Glideslope Flag Displays
- Nav and glideslope needles are now visible even if flagged,
for the first 2 minutes after power-up. This is to allow pilot observation of GPS
self-test for the II Morrow GX-series.

frequencies
- Addition of software H/C swap (180 degree phase reversal)
for all XYZ inputs
