In particular, it also allows to drive the opening sequence manually rather than automatically and has a software bypass implementation for the case of a failed main payload bay door switch. All functions of the original screen are implemented in FG. | In particular, it also allows to drive the opening sequence manually rather than automatically and has a software bypass implementation for the case of a failed main payload bay door switch.

The crew monitors the cabin environment - atmosphere, water, temperatures - on DISP 66. The various sections show (clockwise from upper left): 1) Cabin atmosphere with pressure, partial pressure of O2, fan action and pressure change. 2) Avionics bay fans and temperature readings 3) supply water quantities, tank pressures and exhaust line and vent temperatures 4) waste water quantity, pressure and vent temperature, 5) regenerable CO2 removal system status (this is not installed on 'Atlantis') 6) IMU fan and humidity separator status and 7) oxygen and nitrogen system pressures, flows and valve status. | |||
With the exception of waste water quantity, all parameters on the display are real in FG, i.e. simulated in some way. In particular, the simulation of cabin atmosphere is rather faithful. | |||
