VS RATE (Vertical Speed Rate)
This field is the typical vertical speed for climb/descent of the aircraft. The settable number determines the
rate of climb the GTX 33/330 assumes as liftoff for operational functions. The range is 100 feet per minute
to 9999 feet per minute, and is set to 500 fpm at the factory.
SQUAT SWITCH
The squat switch field may be set to either YES or NO. Selecting YES in this field sets the GTX 33/330 to
use the squat switch to determine lift off. Selecting NO sets the GTX 33/330 to use Automated Airborne
Determination from other sources.
It is important that installations without a squat switch input to the GTX 33/330 be
configured with NO in the SQUAT SWITCH field. Otherwise, the GTX 33/330 can
incorrectly report the air/ground state over the Mode S data link.
SQUAT SENSE
The squat sense field may be set to either HIGH or LOW. If the squat switch field is set to YES, the squat
sense field is used to define the state of the squat switch input which is recognized as being on the ground
(weight-on-wheels).
DELAY TIME
This is the number of seconds the aircraft must be on the ground before the AUTO STANDBY feature
automatically switches to standby mode when the airborne source is the squat switch. It has a range of 0
(zero) seconds to 99 seconds, with the default set to 24 seconds.
MODE S ADDRESS (GTX 33/330 ONLY)
It is VERY important to enter the Mode S address correctly in the GTX 33/330.
