Add the following XML template to the instrumentation section of the plane's ''plane''-set.xml file (above the <tt></sim></tt> tag). Set the main property <tt>instrumentation/mk-viii/serviceable</tt> to <tt>true</tt> to enable the MK VIII module.
== Instrument List ==
Add the device to your plane by adding it to the sim/instrumentation section (usually in a separate instrumentation.xml file).
 
Example:
<PropertyList>
  <sim>
  <instrumentation>
    '''<mk-viii>'''
        '''<name>mk-viii</name>'''
        '''<number>0</number>'''
    '''</mk-viii>'''
  </instrumentation>
  </sim>  
</PropertyList>
Usually planes only have a single GPWS installed - so using multiple instances wouldn't be too common.
 
== <Plane>-set.xml file ==
Configuration parameters are stored in a different section.
Add the following XML template to the instrumentation section of the plane's ...-set.xml file.
Do not mix up this section with the one above (section above was ''within'' the <sim> tag, this section is ''outside'' the <sim> tag).


'''Notes''':
'''Notes''':
* The values in the <tt><configuration-module></tt> section (below) list the module's default. You can omit specific <tt><category-''n''></tt> lines unless you need to change the  default.
* The values in the <tt><configuration-module></tt> section (below) list the module's default. You can omit specific <tt><category-''n''></tt> lines unless you need to change the  default.
* All configuration categories require valid settings. If you do explicitly configure a category to change the default, you must provide a valid value. See sections below for valid options.
* All configuration categories require valid settings. If you do explicitly configure a category to change the default, you must provide a valid value. See sections below for valid options.
* Do ''not'' omit the <serviceable>true</serviceable> part...

The example above provides the decision height as a fixed value. Since this value is an input, you can also provide this value at run-time instead - e.g. depending on whether an ILS or visual approach is flown.

== Electric Power ==
The mk-viii module needs (virtual) electric power. The module also simulates the behavior of the original hardware device when applying over or under voltage - i.e. it withstands short periods of too low or high voltage (within certain limits). Supply a nominal value of 28 volts. Usually you'll provide power via Nasal by connecting the module to the electrical bus simulation. If you're plane doesn't provide such a simulation you can also configure a fixed value (i.e. '''28''') to the following property:
/systems/electrical/outputs/''<name>''[''<num>'']
where ''<name>'' and ''<num>'' match the values you specified in the instrument list, e.g. for ''<name>=mk-viii and ''<num>''=0
/systems/electrical/outputs/mk-viii[0]
