External Power Connected?

Featured Replies

HI,

I am trying to program some buttons on my Saitek/Logitech panels using Spad.Next. The problem I am having at the moment is how to read whether Ground Power has been connected to the aircraft (GPU/Jetway plugs). Doesn't matter if its an LVar or EventID. That's the hard part.

The easy part is to read that output and (conditionally) turn on/off Pri/Sec External Power Switches.

Any assistance greatly appreciated

If i understand the question correctly, you want to read the Lvar for ground power.

I would suggest Linda's tracer function.
