MGL Avionics User Forum

During this cold weather (Yes, I'm in the northern hemisphere), I'm learning the "Screen Designer" software and hoping to design my own custom screens.

Quick question: Where do I find the definition of each icon? For example: "ASP Info" is clearly "Airspace Info" - but, what will it tell me and where does it get the data?

Another example would be: "GPS" on top of a road. What will this icon do if pushed?

Does anyone have a complete listing of all the icons - and there corresponding definition / Input/Output? Or, can point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,

Bill

In order of the list:
Icon holder - always shows, effectively a container used to hide other icons. For each icon you select whether or not to "reveal" the icon if the icon holder is touched.
GPS Goto - opens the list of waypoints sorted by distance from current position so you can select one as current GPS destination (note there are filters you can use to include/exclude waypoints and you can also do a search by ICAO (short waypoint name) or the long descriptive name - you can select to search for parts of a name or exact match.
GPS Nearest Airfield - similar to above but only show airfields. If an airfield is already the next destination it will go straight to that airfields information (frequencies, runways etc). From there you can step back to a general nearest airfield search.
HSI Source - select from the available navigation solutions for your HSI.
Info+ and info- page info sections if the have been created for the current page (effectively sub pages) - nice for creating checklists or aerobatics diagrams (using image component to show the graphics) or anything you don't need to see all the time. Note: G4 only.
Weight&Balance - go to weight and balance function if the required files have been loaded.
GPS VOR Nav - similar to GPS goto above but filter VOR stations and allow sending of frequencies to navigation radio.
GPS marker - create a waypoint in the supplementary waypoint database based on current position.
Route step forward, back and off - not used that much anymore with the latest live flightplan functionality but still available.
ECB - bring up the built in ECB control and status panel (if ECB configured and available)
AHRS - show AHRS control menu
VIDEO - allow selection of video source (on systems that have video inputs).
Airspace info - show a list of airspaces that are of current relevance with information such as limits.
Alarm Acknowledge - what it says. The same as simply touching the alarm display message. However there is one difference - the alarm acknowledge remains visible. Touching it again with the alarm condition still active reactivates the alarm message display.
