PFD / ND / EICAS management

[Niben]

I've tried the 600 to the 604 values, and the Main DU selector works fine, the problem is with the Lower DU, I have tried all the values from 610 to 632, weird things happen, perhaps I'm not using the right ones, what I have seen is that the lower eicas doesn't work, the values for some strange reason writes only to the upper eicas.

Am I doing something wrong?, please help!!!!

Hey Delphi, try the values from 620 to 623 for the FO...

Thanks

Unfortunately I do not have the lower engine DU running. Is on of the next project steps.

FO PFD and ND are working find and can be swapped with

Value 610 + is for Engine DU's, 620 + is for F/O panels.

Hi -

I too have not been able to get the lower Eicas to switch to anything (the ops manual says that the lwr eicas can switch to the ND and the Upper Eicas)

In my set up, I cannot select anything other than page F7 in the Lwr Eicas PC/monitor - it's almost as if PM knows that this is my Lower Eicas and will not let anything else display....

So I don't know if I can get the lower 6xx offset to work, as I cannot select the F6 page -

Hi,
unfortunately I do not have the lower EICAS running. I have planed the integration of the lower EICAS in the next couple of weeks.

Hi -

it turns out the reason I could not select any other page in the lower du is that I had a PM Key for just the engine pages - one has got to have a PFD/ND/ENGINE KEY for all pages to show in the GC -

After using the new key, I'm still not being able to change the lower du using the 63x values -

Will check with PM and report -

I beleive PM can issue you a key that is for the Lower DU only. just ask pm, and you will be all set.

Hi Trev -

Did get the full GC Key from PM - apparently you need this for the lower du to display the ND (747 option) - still no Joy for the Lower DU's though - the Capt side is switching OK - havent tried the F/O yet -

Values for offset 04F4

For LWR CRT:
631 (NORM)
LWR-CRT = Lower EICAS
632 (EICAS PRI)
LWR CRT = Upper EICAS
630 (ND)
LWR-CRT = Cpt-ND

will keep trying - !

Hi Again:

Checked the 737 manual and the Lower DU switching options are the same as the 747 -
