FSBUS Display, DME

[fmw]

Hi

I am bulding a FSBUS Display to DME1 and DME2 distance, now i try to test it in FSBUS 2, and i also try to program it into fsif.ini, but can not get the right value out.

In the fsif.ini there is a mode and type value. Do anybody now this value, for DME distance-

Can you give me a hint, Dirk.

Hi Finn,

this needs to be explained in a future doc.
In short:

Lvl the depth level in tree hierarchy
Name a self defined name for this param
ID a UNIQUE identifier. All internal references use this
Mode all params which needs internal algorithms have assigned a mode number. 0 is the value without extra internal functions
Offset the fsuipc offset
Type data type I8 = (unsigned integer) 8bit S8 = signed int
Opt optional values
flags optional flags Read Write +(Add)
scan the system polls fsuipc any 50ms. if this field contains 3, it is polled any 3rd loop = 150ms
mul multiply a scanned value by this
div devide a scanned value by this


I hope this helps a bit. If you define some more parameters, send it to me. I will take it into the standard file.
Remember to let the ID a unique ID. It may not occur in a second parameter.

Ups,

the editor suppresses multiple blanks. I wasn't drunken, when i wrote the previous posting.
The first word in a line is the parameter name in the ini file

Hi Dirk

I hav put this in the .ini file:
3, "DME1", 492, 0, 0x0c29, I8, 0,RW+, 10,1,1,

But the readouts by a DME on 79.1 is in the FSBUS 55.

What are you meaning when you say "a unique id"?

Hi,

i looked into fsuipc description and saw, that there is a string dataformat in length 5 Byte. This can't be converted automatically, because there is no such format.
I have to code this (later).

unique means. The id must not occur a second time.

Hi Dirk

Okey, then i now why i have the problem. I am building the display now, so it will be ready when you have made the code.

Thanks very much, for you answer
