General - MGL Avionics IEFIS G4 User Manual

General

The iEFIS panels are available in two versions – a "full" version which includes one or two
iBOX units that contain all interfacing or a "lite" version which has built in sensors and some
interfaces. The two versions are not compatible with each other and are not used mixed in the
same aircraft.
All iEFIS devices with the exception of the MX1 use a single firmware file with the name of
"exp4" (no file extension). The system detects the iEFIS variant on startup and configures
itself accordingly.
IEFIS consists of one or more panels, one or two iBOX units (full version only) as well as
sensors and control interfaces as required.
