Functional Description
J1-34
CONFIGURATION STRAP #2 INPUT (NO):
For -84X and -88X units, this pin programs the VSI/TRA to use the
remote light sensor input at pins 24 and 25. If CS2 is open, a Boeing
Airplane Company remote light sensor type (-10 to +10 V) is expected at
pins 24 and 25. If grounded a Douglas Aircraft Company remote light
sensor type (0 to 18 V) is programmed. Also see pin 25.
For -89X units, CS2 is used to program the VSI display for English or
Metric. If pin J1-34 is open, information is displayed in English. If
grounded, the information is displayed in Metric.
For -86X units, CS2 is used with CS3 (pin 17) to program the Lighting
Curve. The following applies: O = Open, G = Ground

CONFIGURATION STRAP #4 INPUT (NO):
For -86X, -88X, and -89X units, CS4 is paired with CS5 (pin 36) to
program the VSI/TRA to display VSI only, VSI/RA or VSI/RA/TA. The
