Menus

All interaction with the EFIS-D10A is accomplished through the use of its menu system. The
menu system is accessed and navigated via the six buttons located on the front of the unit.

PAGE-SENSITIVE MENUS

On a screen where no menu is already present, buttons two through five are used to display a
menu. With no menu displayed, pressing any one of these buttons causes the menu for the
page above it to show at the bottom of the screen. For example, if a screen is divided into two
pages with the left page occupying 1/2 of the screen and the right page occupying 1/2 of the
screen, then pressing EFIS-D10A buttons two or three (all below the left 1/2 of the screen)
displays the main menu for the left page and pressing buttons four or five (below the right 1/2
of the screen) displays the main menu for the right page (see the figure to the right).

FUNCTIONALITY

A menu consists of two rows of gray boxes containing text. The upper row contains one tab
that denotes the currently displayed menu. The lower row contains six labels that denote the
function of the button below it. Many of the onscreen elements move up to avoid the menu.
This prevents the menu from obscuring useful data while it is up. Upon exiting the menu, the
screen returns to its normal appearance.

The configuration of the
pages on the screen
determines which
buttons are used to
display a page's menu.

Pressing a button either displays another menu or adjusts a parameter. If there is no text above
a button, then that button does not have a function in the context of that menu. Occasionally, a
button label spans two or more buttons. In this case, any button below the label invokes the
command.
