WinVIEWS OPERATION:
Windows Virtual Interface to the Enhanced Warning System
WinVIEWS software is a tool developed by Honeywell to monitor or view values within the EGPWS. The WinVIEWS
software provides a monitor function that does not alter the operation of the EGPWS. The monitoring of values
assists in the installation testing of the EGPWS by allowing the operator to quickly determine if the correct signal and
scaling is being used by the EGPWS. Additionally, WinVIEWS provides a detailed status of the software
configuration and input signals which enables quick identification of system anomalies.
The command file is a simple text file that should include each CVT Item used in this test procedure. A sample
command file for this test procedure is found on the following page. The file must be a ‘Text Only’ type of file, such
as those created in the Microsoft Windows NotePad program. It should have a filename extension of .CMD. Once
this file is loaded, WinVIEWS can automatically display the current value of each parameter listed in the file.
Normal Operation for Ground Testing the EGPWS:
STEP 1 - Connect the PC to the EGPWS via the RS-232 cable as defined above.
STEP 2 - On the PC, start Windows 3.1, or higher.
STEP 3 - Start the WinVIEWS program.
STEP 4 - Under the File Menu select the “Load Command File” option and load the appropriate Command
File.
STEP 5 - Use F6 to select Data Display Mode. Each CVT Item listed in the Command File will be
continuously updated at a rate of greater than once per second. The values shown for the CVT
Items listed will be the test values.
