B. To display a decimal point in the AUX Display Mode, set the AUX Channel Control Setting #2

to "000." The decimal point would be used when monitoring fuel pressure, manifold pressure, gyro
vacuum, volts, etc.

9. GPS Receive Format (FP-5L only):

The GPS Receive Format configures the FP-5L to receive data from a GPS. The data received is used to

calculate fuel to destination, fuel reserve and miles per gallon. If the FP-5L is not receiving data from a GPS, the
display will show " OFF" (the GPS receive wire may be open or connected to the wrong pin on the GPS). If a
signal is present but the baud rate is wrong, the display will show " 'on" (note the tick mark in the upper left
corner of the display). Check the following settings and check that the GPS receive wire is connected to the
proper pin on the GPS. If the baud rate is correct but the ground speed and distance data to waypoint are not
available, the display will show " on" (verify that the GPS is receiving satellites, the GPS output port is config-
ured properly and a waypoint has been set).

The GPS Receive Format may be set for the following:

" In1" - Receives moving map data at 9600 baud. All panel mount GPS

units we know of output this format. This format enables the FP-5L
GPS output port.

" In2" - Receives data from a Northstar unit at 1200 baud. Some newer Northstar units output moving

map data (use " In1").

" In3" - Receives NMEA data from most hand held GPS units at 4800 baud.

10. GPS Transmit Format (FP-5L only):

The GPS Transmit Format configures the FP-5L to transmit data to a GPS. The data transmitted may or may

not be used by your GPS (check your GPS Operating Manual). The FP-5L GPS output port will only be
enabled when the GPS Receive Format has been set to " In1." For all transmit formats the baud rate is 9600.

The GPS Transmit Format may be set for the following:

" Ot0" - Disables the output port. If your GPS is not going to use the FP-5L

transmitted data, set the GPS Transmit Format to " Ot0."

" Ot1" - Outputs the older Shadin fuel flow data. Works with many older

Arnav, King and newer Garmin GPS units.

" Ot2" - Outputs the Shadin fuel flow sentence. Works with Garmin and many other units.

" Ot3" - Outputs a modified Shadin Fuel/Airdata sentence. Works with many UPS GPS units.
