12. Modifying Aircraft Information
After agreeing to the EDM Configuration Editor Usage Agreement, you
will have the opportunity to view a quick slide show describing the basic
operation of the EDM Configuration Editor.
If the EDM is a primary instrument configured for a particular aircraft, only
values associated with non-primary gauges can be modified. In addition,
the aircraft type, aircraft tail number, and engine information will be read-
only.
Tip: The EDM uses gray text whenever the value to be modified is
“protected.” Protected values are those when require an extra step to
prevent accidently modifying the value. Holding the left two keys (NEXT
and PREV) unlocks the value to be edited. When you have made the
desired changes to the value, hold the two left keys again to store the
new value. If the EDM is configured as a TSO or Advisory Only unit, you
will be allow to change nearly all EDM configurable parameters, including
the aircraft ID and engine information.
13. Change Number of Engine Cylinders
The CYLS= prompt allows you to change the number of cylinders
monitored and displayed by the EDM. Hold the two left keys to start
changing the number of cylinders. Tap the PLUS or MINUS keys to
increase or decrease the number of cylinders. Acceptable values are 4,
6, 7, 8 or 9. Hold the two left keys to save the modified value.
After changing the CYLS= value, you may also need to change the R-
FACTOR value. The R-FACTOR is used to specify the number of pulses
per revolution output by your RPM sensor. Available values are 4
– 12.
Changing Engine Temperature Units
The ENG °F / °C prompt allows you to change engine temperature units
displayed by the EDM. Hold the two left keys to start changing the
number of cylinders. Tap the F or C keys to change to Fahrenheit or
Celsius. Hold the two left keys to save the modified value. Note: If the
EDM is configured as a PRIMARY unit, you will be not be allowed to
modify the Engine Temperature Units except OAT.
