Altitude source for the
GPS and "encoded data" serializers
GPS Systems require altitude data to
perform
certain correction, including missing satellite
information. Also,
to maintain 3-D accuracy, GPS units cannot receive
gray code
output which was standard on old encoders. They are
designed to accept serial data. Thus, a device was
required to convert 10-wire gray code data from the
altitude
encoder to an acceptable serial format. (That is,
until
Shadin Avionics designed the fine Altitude Encoder
8800X with built-in
serial port! See Falcon Altitude Encoder for more
details.
High Resolution Serializer
Has the capability of sending out 1ft resolution
altitude
data to either the GPS/Loran and/or AMS-2000.
Because a static
input is received, Shadin Avionics' patented
recalibration of the gray
code after the first 200 foot change in altitude
allows for
10ft increments to be displayed on the GPS or
AMS-2000. If used
with the AMS-2000 Instantaneous Vertical Speed (IVS)
is calculated,
which allows for a time based warning as you
approach
your target altitude. Low Resolution
Serializer
Takes existing 10 wire gray code and converts
into
an RS-232
format. This is a straight conversion of 100ft
resolution gray
code into 100ft resolution RS-232 format for you
GPS/Loran.
