This appendix contains information not covered in the main section of the manual. This section contains reference tools
such as a detailed description of the serial data format output by the FlightDEK-D180, a specifications sheet, and a
troubleshooting guide. This section also contains details regarding FlightDEK-D180 servicing.
Appendix A: Serial Data Output
The FlightDEK-D180 has two RS232 serial ports: one on the EFIS 25-pin connector and one on the EMS 37-pin
connector. Each of these serial ports outputs data for its respective instrument function. Technical information on the
installation and connection to these serial ports can be found in the FlightDEK-D180 Installation Guide. To log both
EFIS and EMS data, you must connect both serial ports to a PC. This serial data can be logged using any standard serial
terminal program such as HyperTerminal®. It can then be parsed into its respective columns by many spreadsheet
programs including Microsoft Excel®. All numbers are output in decimal and are standard ASCII. To view the data
using a terminal program, the following settings should be used for both serial ports:
Baud rate:
115200
Data:
8
bit
Parity:
none
Stop:
1
bit
Flow control:
none
The following sections detail the format used for both EFIS and EMS data output.
