Male Voice Program Input
This program input is intended to allow audio annunciation to be selectable for
either male or female genders. A ground on this pin selects the male voice and an
open selects the female voice.
RMP-11D
Flight Data Recorder ARINC 429 and Extended Maintenance Log Program
Input
This program pin is used to specify whether the ARINC 429 Flight Data Recorder
(FDR) is to be used. An open on this pin means that the FDR is not utilized. A
ground indicates that flight data is output as high-speed ARINC 429 data on RA
Display No.1 and No.2 busses. While the FDR is enabled, normal low-speed RA
display bus operation is not available. A ground also enables RA/TA events
recording in memory.
