3.2.14 Variable Display Field – Upper Line
The right side of the upper line (normally the XTK field) may be reconfigured to allow any
of the parameters displayed on the bottom variable field to be selected for display. The
parameter to be displayed is selected by using a combination of the DISPLAY button and
the L-R switch. To change the displayed parameter, do the following:
1. Press and hold the DISPLAY button
2. Momentarily “bump” the L-R switch until the desired parameter is displayed
3. Release the DISPLAY button after the desired parameter is selected
You may bump the L-R switch either direction to change the displayed field.
Note that this function can only be used in the TRK mode since the L-R switch is used in
the CRS and INT modes to adjust the course-to-track or intercept angle.
3.2.15 Other Display Presentations
On occasion, when a new waypoint is manually selected on the GPS, the data in the
GPS input stream might be corrupted momentarily. The EZ Pilot is programmed to
detect this and will set the display fields to “----“ (dashed lines) or may enter the NO
FPLAN mode when the condition is detected. This is usually a condition that clears after
another GPS sample or two is transmitted to the EZ Pilot. No pilot action is required.
Normal TRK mode tracking computations are inhibited until the GPS data integrity is
restored
4.0 Setup Screens
The EZ Pilot provides a quick and easy method to set up certain parameters that are normally
only changed at installation. The setup mode allows adjustment of the following items:
1. LCD contrast (LCD model only)
2. Setting of the initial servo position (mechanical zero)
3. Selection of the servo rotation direction
4. Selection of a manual or automatic (bank angle limited) turn rate
5. Selection of a programmable input / output signal for remote dimming or remote mode
selection
6. Selection to circle a last waypoint or proceed outbound from a last waypoint.
7. Selection of a large or small format rate electronic rate of turn indicator (EZ Pilot II only)
8. Setup of a custom startup screen
9. Display of the EZ Pilot software configuration and serial number
To enter the Setup Mode:
1. Turn off power.
2. Press and hold the DISPLAY button
3. Turn on power
4. Release the display button.
NOTE
The MODE button is used to sequence through the available settings on a selected screen and to
sequence to the next available screen. All settings are saved immediately after the change is
made, so to do a quick exit from the SETUP mode you can turn the unit OFF and then back ON,
or rapidly press the MODE button to sequence through the various screens back to the TRK
mode of operation
