Page 12: Section 1 - Omnia57 Family System Overview
FLYBOX ® Omnia57 Family System Overview OMNIA57 FAMILY SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Omnia57 instrument family has many innovative features, common to all models as described below. 1.1 CONSTRUCTION FEATURES Omnia57 instrument family is built from solid aluminum alloy, CNC milled and powder coated to last a long time over the years always showing a new appearance. -
Page 13: Interconnection Ability
FLYBOX ® Omnia57 Family System Overview 1.3 INTERCONNECTION ABILITY All the instruments of the Omnia57 family can be connected together to form a communication network, making some data exchange operations simpler. The software update of a Omnia57 instrument connected in group takes place through the CAN bus communication with the instrument that has the USB pen drive connected. -
Page 14: Easy Software Update
1.4 EASY SOFTWARE UPDATE The user can download any new firmware, when available, from Flybox website, connect a USB pen drive to the instrument and freely update it with the last features. With one USB connection only, it will be possible to update every instrument installed in the panel. -
Page 15: Interfaces
2 separate CAN BUS: they can be used to connect the Omnia57 instruments together, to interface them with other Flybox instruments or with external devices like Engines ECUs or new devices that will be possibly developed in the future. -
