RMI/OBI

4.9.1 RMI/OBI Function
The MAIN OBI output provides bearing information from the active waypoint for Bendix/King Serial OBI
devices based upon the 500 Series unit's GPS navigation. For the GNS 530, the MAIN OBI output may be
configured so that it sends VOR/ILS bearing information when VLOC is selected by the GNS 530 CDI
key.
The VOR OBI output provides bearing information from the active waypoint for Bendix/King Serial OBI
devices based upon the GNS 530 VOR receiver.
When a localizer channel is tuned on the VLOC window, there is a bit in the data stream set to indicate that
a localizer frequency is tuned which stows the needle or drive it to the 3 o'clock position.
