As
an example, let me explain to you what we did with the landing gear lights.
In the Boeing 757-232, there are three horizontal indicator lights positioned
just above the gear lever. These are for the LEFT, RIGHT and NOSE wheels.
See Fig. 1.
 Fig.1 |
In addition, there are two other lights located
vertically above these three. These lights are labeled DOORS and GEAR. The
following sequence takes place in the real aircraft when the gear lever
is lifted to retract the gear: First, the DOORS light illuminates indicating
the landing gear doors are opening. Next, the GEAR light illuminates indicating
the gear is beginning to lift upward. Shortly thereafter, the NOSE, LEFT
and RIGHT lights will extinguish independently. Then the GEAR light will
extinguish followed thereafter by the DOORS. The EPIC 32 point output module,
along with James' sophisticated programming code, was successful in matching
this sequence perfectly! You have to see it to believe it!
Another example.... In the Boeing 757-232
(as well as other configurations including the 767) there are two indicator
lights positioned just under the standby engine instruments. These are labeled
LEFT ENG OIL PRESS and RIGHT ENG OIL PRESS. See Fig. 2
 Fig.2 |
When the turbine engines are off, these
lights are illuminated. As the left engine is started, the LEFT ENG OIL
PRESS light extinguishes. When the right turbine engine is started, then
the RIGHT ENG OIL PRESS does the same. Once again, James was able to copy
this exact procedure using his programming along with the 32 point module.
There are many others that I will add
in the days to come. I will be programming the warning annunciator lights
located

just above the standby engine instruments.
These will illuminate when certain situations occur during the flight such
as WINDSHEAR, AUTOPILOT and AUTO THROTTLE DISCONNECT, GPWS "PULL UP",
GLIDE SLOPE etc. |
