1-28 System Overview
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Optimal Touch Performance
To maximize touch performance, the more surface
area of a finger that can make contact with the
glass, the better. Try to avoid using just fingernail
contact or just the tip of a finger. Increased
pressure on the glass by your finger should not
have any positive effect. Many types of gloves will
work (see “Use of Gloves” section in the back of this
manual), but performance will likely be degraded.
DUAL IFD OPERATONS
Some installations may involve two IFDs (e.g. IFD540-IFD540,
IFD540-IFD440, IFD440-IFD440) that can work in a more
integrated fashion.
Method of Data Share (Dual IFD Operations)
Dual IFDs will be connected via the Byteflight digital Databus.
While any of the com ports can be configured for the dual IFD
“CrossSync” communication, it is generally recommended that
Com 3 be used to stay consistent with the vast majority of fielded
GNS530/430 systems that the IFD will be replacing. In those
cases, Com 3 is already wired for box-to-box communication and
that connection is used for dual IFD connections with no further
work.
Keyboard Convenience Mode (Dual IFD Operations)
When Keyboard Convenience mode is enabled via the “User
Options” LSK of the SETUP tab on the AUX page, the second
IFD will automatically present a virtual keyboard when the other
IFD is in a mode where data is being entered or edited. In other
words, if Keyboard Convenience mode is turned on, a virtual
keyboard will be displayed on the “other” IFD at all the same
times as if the aircraft were configured for a single IFD and a
keyboard is displayed on that unit.
