- 7. Downloading Information from the TP3PCAS Using a CF Card
- 1. Obtain a New or Blank Compact Flash (CF) card.
- 2. Copy to the New or Blank CF card the appropriate ‘Header File’
- a) Header files are files copied to the New or Blank CF card that will instruct the computer unit what is desired to be downloaded.
- b) Header files needed to download Maintenance Data, Event Data and CRC Part Numbers can be obtained from ACSS Customer Services at +1-623-445-7070 or crc.acss@l-3com.com.
- 3. For downloading Maintenance Data, Event Data or CRC Part Numbers the aircraft does not need to be in an on-ground configuration.
- 4. Apply power to the computer unit.
- 5. Insert the CF card.
- 6. For ACSS part numbers 9005000-10000, -10101, -10202, and -10204 the DATA STATUS LED will UblinkU green once; this indicates the unit recognized that a CF card was inserted.
- 7. For ACSS part numbers 9005000-11203, -11801 and -55801 the DATA STATUS LED will UblinkU green while reading the header file and performing the action defined in the header file.
- 8. Flight Data Recording
- 1. T3CAS part numbers 9005000-10000, -10101, -10202, and -10204 only support FAT16 CF card formatting. T3CAS part numbers 9005000-11203, -11801 and -55801 support both FAT16 and FAT32 CF card formatting.
- B. Flight Data
- 1. Obtain a New or Blank CF Card.
- 2. Copy to the New or Blank CF Card the Appropriate Header File.
- 3. Header files are files copied to the New or Blank CF card that will instruct the computer unit what is desired to be downloaded.

ARINC 429 inputs are classified as one of the following: high-speed (H),
low-speed (L) or either (H/L). The A429 receivers are capable of
receiving high- or low-speed data. The ports are designated H or L if they
are designated for a function with a known bus speed, otherwise H/L is
assigned (there is no hardware difference between the H, L or H/L ports).
ARINC 429 outputs are also classified as either high-speed (H), low-
speed (L) or selectable (H/L). A429 outputs designated as H/L speed are
capable of operating in either high- or low-speed modes, selectable by
the APM or program pins through the ASDB database.
(b) Ethernet 10 Base-T Signals
Ethernet 10 Base-T is specified in IEEE Standard 802.3 Ethernet 10
Base-T provides communication at a data rate of 10 MBPS over two
pairs of wires, where one twisted pair is used to receive data and the
other twisted pair is used to transmit data. Segments of approximately
100 meters in length can be constructed when twisted pair wire that
meets the EIA/TIA Category 3 wire specifications is used.
