CHECKLIST INTERFACE

In software 08 and higher a con-
figuration option available at the
time of installation and certifica-
tion, provides Checklist display
capability on the MFD. Checklist
functions are controlled via the
CP 469A, MFD Control Panel,
buttons and joystick.

The user entered checklist data
is organized in a simple page-ori-
ented format with a pro-
grammable index function which
allows quick access to the check-
list entries. The index operates
from user entered title descrip-
tions and relative page numbers
which provides maximum flexibili-
ty in organizing and titling the

index items. It is also possible to
create hierarchies of indices
when desired. An additional
capability is provided to allow
invocation of emergency check-
lists through discrete signals
applied on the rear connector.
Any index or checklist page list
can be mapped to any of the
eight emergency page inputs
allowing a high degree of free-
dom in defining and organizing
the operation of programmed
field units. In addition to being
able to program the index and
emergency page operation, it is
also possible to program the col-
ors used for the text fields, title
lines, and cursor lines for any
indexed list.
All pages are organized as
twelve lines of 32 characters
each for a total of 384 characters
per page. The CP 469A will
store a minimum of 800 checklist
pages and 400 note pages.
Since the actual storage require-
ments vary according to the com-
plexity of the pages themselves,
the actual storage capacity will
vary upward from this minimum.
The upper limit for both checklist
pages and note pages is fixed at
1024 each.
