Rainier, Thanks for the response. I know we both believe that the Hobbs should NOT be Counting with a 9001rpm, but it is. It might be fooling you because it is running at 1/4 speed and it takes 2:24 minutes to get the first 0.01 tick to show up. This is on a live, installed iEFIS not the SIM. I set ...

I have an 8.5" Explorer iEFIS Lite that monitors a Rotax 912is engine via an RDAC-CAN

I am having trouble getting the Hobbs and Tach meters to operate correctly. My RPM 1 setup is as follows... 100%RPM= 5800 Display = 6000 Hobbs Minimum RPM = 1000 Hobbs TACH 100% RPM = 5000 The engine is a 912is monitored through an MGL RDAC-CAN. The problem... With the Engine stopped and the Lanes O...

Thanks, Paul,
I saw that option and assumed it was configured as NMEA-IN for connecting an External GPS to the EFIS and not a NMEA-OUT port.
I will give it a try and let you know the results.

I have an ACK E-04 ELT installed. It has the ability to receive NMEA GPS Location Data via RS-232. This allows the ELT to immediately tell the Satellites exactly where to send Search and Rescue as opposed to the satellites taking 5 minutes to figure out where you are within 2 miles, assuming post cr...

This might help...

FE: (Fuel Endurance) Fuel endurance is only shown if fuel level and fuel flow is enabled.
The fuel endurance will alternate with the GPS NMEA speed value if enabled.
The text color will turn magenta if receiving valid NMEA GPS data.

Sometimes we just miss the easiest option. The Bottom Right Button is labeled ROT ate. Push it until the Radio Knobs appear on the Right Side. There are direct entry Volume and Squelch knobs and also direct entry VHF Active and STBY Freq knobs. Here you can change the Active or STBY Frequencies inde...

If your local "Altimeter Setting" is 1018mb and the F3 is showing 867mb, you need to turn the knob on the front of the F3 until it shows 1018. Don't push it in, just turn it. The Barometer would display ~867 on a standard day if you were at ~3900ft above seal level. The Altimeter setting is the pres...
