RS-232 input #1 is used to receive pressure altitude control commands. RS-232 output #1 provides unit
status and TIS data. RS-232 #1 input and output are also used for software upgrades.
For installations that enable ADS-B, RS-232 input #2 should be connected to a GNS 400W/500W-series
WAAS enabled unit or a GTN 6XX/7XX series unit. This connection provides the GTX 23 with GPS data
for ADS-B. The RS-232 output #2 is unused on the GTX 23.
The RS-232 outputs conform to EIA Standard RS-232C with an output voltage swing of at least ±5 V when
driving a standard RS-232 load. Refer to figures in Appendix C for the RS-232 serial data interconnect.
