Gauge description:
This transponder radio gauge works close to the real instrument. It has full
functional knobs and buttons like the original.
The Buttons and Knobs:
See the picture ExplKT76A.bmp which gives an overview of the functions.
The power/selector knob switches the transponder on and off and selects the
transponder mode.
You can have the power switch always set to SBY and use a central avionic circuit
switch in your main panel to set the power of ALL radios in this package.
Switching to SBY mode, the transponder is powered on and stays in standy mode.
No signal will be replied.
Switching to ON or ALT mode, the transponder replies a signal indicated by a
blinking small yellow light.
Pressing the IDENT button, the reply signal light lights up for 5 seconds if
the transponder is not in standby mode. This simulates the ATC instruction
"Squawk ident".
The code selector knobs:
Click on the left or right side of the small knobs to decrement/increment the
transponder code.
Notes:
This is version 1.0 of this gauge and if any updates are required I will release
them. Send me an email if anything doesn't work as expected.
