User Guide for the Envoy Data Link
Document Number: UG-15000 Rev. A Page 97 of 173
When on the ground, details such as label ID, label name and values being received from an I/O
on SYS MON 4/6 and 5/6 can be viewed by selecting the adjacent LSK.
A typical read out of an ARINC 429 label, in this case RX3, configured as the FMC General Output
Bus (GOB), is detailed on two pages, as shown in Figure 6-10.
TX/RX Details Pages 1/2 and 2/2
The data received by the equipment configured at a TX or RX port on SYS MONITOR pages 3/6,
4/6, and 5/6 can be viewed when the aircraft is on the ground.
By pressing the respective LSK, one or more pages of data sent on a specific discrete can be
viewed, or refreshed.
In the example below, the FMC General Output Bus (GOB) supplies details about the flight, which
can be consumed by the Envoy in constructing CPDLC and ACARS messages.
