Datalogs Download - Avidyne IFD540 Installation Manual

For multiple IFD installations, the database uploads must be performed individually for each
IFD to be updated.
Due to some of the upload durations, Avidyne recommends creating a fob for each IFD to be
updated so that the updates can happen in parallel and not stacked serially, thereby
extending the overall time to accomplish a full update.
A clear indication is presented when the data uploads have been completed. Likewise, if the
USB fob was removed prior to finishing the data upload, an error message will be presented
and the entire process will need to be manually restarted once the fob is reinserted in the IFD.
When you are all done press the "Done" LSK, which will restart the IFD into flight mode.
Remove the USB fob and perform a normal start up. It is highly recommended to verify the
data was updated from the "Setup" LSK of the SYSTEM tab on the AUX page.
If an IFD is in normal operating mode (not maintenance mode), the presence of a USB fob is
ignored and these pages cannot be accessed.

10.2 Datalogs Download

There is extensive data-logging that is automatically done on all IFDs. These datalogs can be
accessed post-flight and used for a number of purposes.
There are five types of datalogs employed in the IFDs:
System Log – This log provides an in-depth record of the
navigation state. From this log, you can re-create many aspects
of the FMS output and IFD state. It logs at a rate of
approximately 1Hz;
Flight Log – This log provides a detailed record of your aircraft
state as measured by the various IFD sensors. It logs at a rate of
approximately 5Hz;
