King Air 1150XL and ND42

GKW

Hello everybody,

Would appreciate a little help with this.

King Air cold and dark. I believe the Bendix 1150XL device is powered on once avionics are switched on, but the device can only be turned on by mouse. I am able to map radar mode events after it is turned on, but I cannot deduce whether it is possible to map events to actually turn on the device: Dev Mode and the behaviours xml appear to offer little guidance. Will this require a custom B: var?

Also, is it possible to map events for the ND42? Again, Dev Mode and the behaviours xml are of little help.

Installed version: 0.1.4.

I'm sure I've missed something, so any pointers gratefully received.

Cheers

Looking at the code, I think I see how the behavior with radar is a little different than what I currently do in the rest of my aircraft. The King Air is the last of my aircraft that have not received a complete overhaul in years. We should be able to get you what you're looking for, even if it take a couple extra steps.

I assume you're speaking of the DME42? This unit uses HTML events, which might explain why you didn't initialy see what you were looking for.

H:DME42_1_channel
H:DME42_1_multiMode
H:DME42_1_dmeHold
H:DME42_1_power

For the radar, it's the L:Var L:var_radarMode (0-4), but you also need to set the electrical circuit too, which can be done with "131 >K:ELECTRICAL_CIRCUIT_TOGGLE".

Let me know if that gets you what you're looking for!

Thank you so much for the prompt response. I love your products and exemplary customer support.

I'll give this a try in a wee while. Yes, I am referring to the DME42. The Bendix 1150XL challenge arose from my attempting to replicate the RPN that included the circuit switch on:131 conditional; it is not exposed to spad.neXt - I assume it is a virtual circuit?

Your solution above now makes sense to me! L:var_radarMode (0-4) worked fine; it was the power state that flummoxed me.

Thanks again. All the best
