What is a Serializer?

The Shadin Avionics serializer line of products take 10 wire gray code from your existing Mode C encoder and converts that into an RS-232 format. The converter also has the capability of driving 2 independent altitude devices: at the same time your GPS/Loran, and the Shadin Avionics AMS-2000!
Low Resolution Serializer
High Resolution Serializer
The low resolution serializers are a family of Shadin Avionics products which take gray code as an input and output serial data. They are referred to as 9000 series products.

They are referred to as "low resolution" because the gray code has a resolution of 100 feet increments. So the altitude which they transmit on their serial ports always has 0's in the 1's and 10's places.






The high resolution gray code converters are a family of Shadin Avionics products which take gray code and pressure sensor inputs and output serial data. They are referred to as 9200 series products.

They are referred to as "high resolution" because they use their pressure sensor inputs to get a better resolution than the gray code's 100 foot increments. They are not calibrated as a part of the manufacturing process. Instead, the gray code inputs provide automatic
calibration during use, and the high resolution altitude is obtained by interpolating the sensor input between the gray code increment/decrement points.
