Ben;

 

I think the right answer is to use the EM2; and to get Tracy to give us the info needed (data format, baud rate, which leads, etc) to feed a converter that allows displaying the data on the GRT screen.  I can get the converter made if I can get the needed input.  I have raised the issue with Tracy but haven’t pressed – maybe if we both do.  Tracy? (Pressure, pressure).  It’s not urgent; I don’t think it is that tough; but I’m just guessing.

   I sent Tracy an email regarding using both his EM2 and my GRT EIS. The

reason I want to use both is, I have a GRT EFIS and want to display the

engine parameters on the EFIS and utilize its user definable limits. I

also want EM2's auto tune capability. Tracy answered my question very

well, but I hate to bother him again, as I know he has a million things

going on, as well as trying to get ready to be gone for a while. So let me

pose this question to you all. He says the pressure functions will not be

able to be shared. But temperatures would. What parameters does the EM2

use to auto tune? Meaning, what are the neccessary measurements for it to

do its job, and what are just on there for pilot information. I was

thinking, that if there are parameters that have to be shared, I could put

in switches to switch from one monitor to the other. Most of the time

utilizing the GRT EIS, but for tuning and engine set up or changes, switch

to the EM2. Thoughts? Am I just crazy? Is the auto tune that difficult

manually that it is worth all this trouble?

 

Thanks...

Ben Schneider
