Multifunction Display

The AL510 Configurable Multifunction Display provides an adaptable display of test data in aircraft in-strument panels by combining a bright, high contrast TFT LCD display with a programmable data proc-essing unit. In the lab prior to flight, the user programs the display range (e.g., +50° to +350°) that corre-sponds to the analog input signal of 0 to +5V derived from data acquisition subsystems. The data are displayed as either a ‘sweep’ or a single pointer along with a digital readout. The AL510 also provides max and maxmin hold functions and the programmable range arcs are available in up to six different colors. After one series of flight tests are completed, the display can be reprogrammed to support the next set, eliminating the need to buy unique, specialized displays per mission.
