Data Entry Display

The DED is the small display above the right color MFD or just right of the HUD. The ICP (the panel below the HUD) can control the DED. The DED can also be brought up on the HUD, to do that set the switch on the left side of the flightstick to DED DATA.

FLIPPING PAGES

The default page is called CNI. There are three ways of accessing other pages. The COMM pages can be accessed by depressing COM1 or COM2 on the ICP. Similar for IFF page. The primary set of pages is accessed only from the CNI page. To return to the CNI page no matter which page you are on, flip the RTN-SEQ switch to RTN. Notice that the numpad on the ICP has written something above the number on them, these are the pages that button will show when pressed when on the CNI page. The secondary set of pages is accessed by depressing LIST on the ICP. Then click the number on the ICP numpad to select the page wanted. On the secondary page list depressing '0' brings up another miscellaneous page list.

INPUTING VALUES

On some pages, values can be input. A value that is selected and ready to be changed is shown with * symbols around it, for example *1256*. If a page has more than one value that can be input, click on the small up-arrow just above the Data Control Switch (marked with RTN-SEQ) switch to go to the next input (see image below).

If the input is N, S, W or E for GPS values, then use key 2, 8, 4 or 6.

If the input are other letters, use 0 on ICP to cycle the value. If the input are numbers, use the numpad on the ICP to enter the number, then depress ENTR.

Entering GPS values

Start with the direction letter, for example W for western longitudes. Longitude always expect 3 digit degrees and latitude, 2 digits. That means that when entering longitude less than 100 degrees, make sure to prefix with zero. For example do not type in 60, but type in 060. Similar for both longitude and latitude, if degrees is less than 10, type in 08 for latitude, and 008 for longitude.

HACK Timer on TIME page

The DED has a built-in stopwatch. To access this, use key 6 ("TIME") on the ICP to select TIME page. Then use the up arrow button on the ICP to start the HACK timer. The up arrow button toggles the timer while the down arrow button resets it.

M3 and M4 on IFF page

M3 is the civilian transponder. M4 is a military IFF transponder. Other modes are not implemented.

Laser code on LASR page

The page can be found on the miscellaneous page list. The laser code must be from 1111 to 2888.
