iBox Output "Script file"

Post by pavel569 »

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get one of the outputs from iBox's "Encoder/MISC Connector" to ground a small LED in my annunciator once autopilot is activated but cannot see any option for that. In the manual it states that -

"O1,O2,O3,O4 These four outputs are open collector darlington transistors capable of sinking
500mA of current each. The function of these outputs is determined by the EFIS panel. For
MGL EFIS panels you can create a “script file” that will switch these outputs depending on
defined conditions."

I haven't found any info on how to create or upload the above mentioned "script file". Anybody can help me with that?

Thanks and Happy New Year,

Paul

There used to be a script file you could create for older EFIS systems.
For iEFIS this has not been included - rather there is a menu system where you can assign functions to outputs. This is under system setup. Autopilot status is not one of the options. The outputs are mostly used for alarms.
However I'll add a autopilot status option for you with next update.
