Display is a high resolution LCD intelligent monitor with a touch screen, communicating with IFC module over TTY serial interface at 115200 baud speed rate.
Currently 3 screens have been designed to provide all the important information about the status of the propulsion components as well as the Avionics data and input fields to enter the configuration and calibrating parameters..
The following screens are shown below:
- Setup Screen
- Battery Screen
- Gauges Screen
After Power up and after Reset the Setup screen shows. Navigation to other screens from the Setup accomplished by pressing respective grey buttons for each of other screens.
Battery page and Gauges page share the same navigation: pressing top area of the screen will switch to the Setup page again. Pressing any middle area will bring another screen – Battery page from the Gauges, or Gauges page from the Battery page.
Only Setup screen uses a touch screen to input user data by pressing buttons. This functionality and respective adjustable parameters described in the IFC: Setup Display Page.
The Gauges page has been designed as the main screen for the pilot in flight. The design philosophy is based on assumption that most of the time in normal flight pilot should not need to operate instruments but should be able to quickly see all the important parameters on the same screen to make right decision in-time with changing status of the system. As the result of this philosophy some parameters from the other pages duplicate on the Gauges page.
Display is 800 x 480 pixels, 65K colors, 16 bit depth, 5″ diagonal, adjustable brightness with a slider on the Setup screen.
