Menu System

Six buttons lined up across the bottom of the LCD provide all the pilot interface to the instrument. Each button acts as a “Softkey” control or function as defined by the menu system label presented immediately above each button. The menus are normally hidden to maximize the use of the screen when not in use. Pressing any of the buttons activates the menu system which then assists the pilot to the desired function. Hotkeys are additionally included to facilitate quick access to in-flight functions as well as handling split-screen modes of operation.

The menu system is arranged in a hierarchy with those most frequently used near the front end. Softkey functions include:

• Selecting the desired page to be viewed
• Setting the Barometer
• Setting Bugs for Airspeed, Heading and Altitude
• Initiating the Leaning function
• Displaying Checklists or Aviation Data Panels
• Starting the Timer or Setting the Clock
• Dimming the screen for night flight
• Powering the instrument
• Setup parameters
