The other two inputs provide redundancy. Below is a table that explains the three inputs and their purposes. All three of these inputs share a common ground signal, wired to pin 3 on the D25 connector.
  • Page 11 (29.92 inHg). This means that adjusting the BARO value on the EFIS-D100 will not affect the altitude output to the transponder. There are four different serial protocols used by transponders. The EFIS-D100 can output any of these formats. To select which protocol the EFIS-D100 sends out its serial encoder output port, you must choose the appropriate protocol via the menu system.
