10) On the EFIS-D10 press the 3 rd from the left button labeled AIRLFT. The DC Calibration
Program window will display “Collecting data for WEST.” After about 15 seconds, the
message “Finished taking data this position” will appear.
11) Press the EFIS-D10 button labeled END. This will cause the EDC Calibration Program
on the laptop to calculate the calibration constants and upload them into the EFIS-D10.
The program will also display the average error. This value can be rounded to the nearest
integer and used to adjust the magnetic heading in the EFIS. To do this, navigate the
EFIS-D10 menu structure to SETUP->MAGADJ. Use the up/down arrows to enter in
the suggested magnetic adjustment value.
This completes the EDC-D10 calibration process. The process can be repeated as often as
desired. The overall accuracy of the compass depends on the installation location (away from
any ferrous materials or current carrying wires), the installation alignment (aligned with the
EFIS-D10 in pitch, roll, and yaw), and the calibration procedure (accurately aligning the aircraft
with North, East, West, and South and having the correct magnetic dip angle loaded into the
EFIS-D10.) If the compass performance is not adequate for your usage, we suggest that you
investigate each of these factors and try to optimize your installation for each factor.
Configure Airspeed Color Thresholds
To configure the airspeed bar color thresholds for your unit, you must use the EFIS-D10 Support
Program. With the PC connected to the EFIS-D10, select “Configure Airspeed Constants” from
the Configuration drop-down menu. Here, you may enter the values for five airspeed constants
(Vso, Vs1, Vfe, Vno, and Vne) at which various color transitions occur. You may enter these
values in units of knots, mph, km/h, or mps. Once you have entered the five values, press “Send
EFIS constants.” You will see the screen of the EFIS-D10 go black for a few seconds during this
process. Once completed, you should find that the colors on your airspeed bar match those on the
preview in the PC program.
Configure Checklists
To configure checklists, please refer to the help-file accompanying the latest version of the EFIS-
D10 Support Program, available from the
