D
18 characters per line maximum
D
One message status line
D
CAS display declutter through the EICAS bezel rotary knob
D
Master warning/caution button acknowledgement of messages

CAS computed system messages.
The display shown in figure 5--8, is controlled from the No. 1 symbol
generator (normally) that receives warning, caution, and advisory signals
from various subsystems in the aircraft. The symbol generator processes
these aircraft inputs, including multiple combinations, to determine which
CAS message to display. Some CAS messages are the result of several
aircraft inputs, these inputs are computed messages.
