Now, you should see the list of ECU
parameters that can be displayed on the
Dashboard, as well as the other Seagull
Parameters. Select the desired
parameters and configure alarms on the
new ECU parameters as described in your
Seagull Pro Flight System manual.
Here is specific information about the
ECU parameters:
ECU Throttle % - this indicates the
throttle deflection percentage
ECU Turbine Temperature – this
indicates the turbine temperature. Note
that it is ALWAYS in Degrees C on the
Dashboard, even if English units are
selected in the application
ECU Turbine RPM – this indicates the
turbine RPM. IMPORTANT: please
make sure that you place the RPM display
on either the left upper or left lower
display location (not on the right side of
the screen). This is because RPM can go
about 99,999, which means it won’t
display properly on the right side.
ECU Status – this page on the Dashboard
indicates the status of the ECU. The messages vary depending on which ECU you have, and should be similar to the
messages your Data Terminal/GSU currently displays. When no ECU is detected, “ECU NOT DETECTED” is displayed
on the ECU status page of the dashboard.
ECU Pack Voltage – this indicates the voltage of the ECU’s main power supply.
ECU Pump Voltage – this indicates the current pump voltage. NOTE: on the FADEC, this indicates the pump duty
cycle.
Live Mode Application Display
All of the ECU parameters can be displayed in application Live Mode, when either the Dashboard or the Recorder is
connected to your PC/Laptop via USB. To configure the parameters to display in Live Mode, click “Tools, Choose
Instruments to Display on PC Screen” and the ECU options should appear on the righthand side of this page.
Range Checking and Flying
IMPORTANT: It is unlikely that the installation of the Eagle Tree system will cause problems with radio range. But, as
always, it is critical to do an antenna-down range check, per your jet/radio manufacturer’s instructions, after making any
changes to your jet’s electronics (and frankly before every flight session). Eagle Tree recommends that the range check
be done with the turbine running, to completely verify operation (if this can be done safely).
Happy Flying! We’d love to see pictures of your installation and get your feedback. Just email us at
