The indicated airspeed tape is in knots | The indicated airspeed tape is in knots or km/h, the unit is refered as speed init later in this documentation. You can modify the speed unit by the dedicated window. | ||
On the tape major ticks are | The black pointer shows the current IAS.<br /> | ||
There may be some Vspeeds marks (pink, text in white) specific to the aircraft (cf installation guide). It is possible to modify these values of the Vspeeds references | On the tape major ticks are displayed with 10 speed units interval, minor ticks at 5 speed units interval. The trend can show up to 1000 speed units. A pink trend vector shows the estimated speed in the next 6 seconds (in the limit of +/- 30 speed units).<br /> | ||

=== Altitude indicator === | === Altitude indicator === | ||
The altitude tape is in feet, | The altitude tape is in feet or meters, the unit is refered as altitude unit later in this documentation. The altitude can show from -990 to 99990 altitude units. The black pointer shows the current indicated altitude (determined from the air pressure), 20 altitude units graduated. A trend vector indicates the readched altitude in the next 6 seconds in the limit of +/- 300 altitude units.<br /> | ||

It is graduated in inHg or hPa, which is refered as pressure unit later in this documentation. The pressure unit can be modified to hPa or inHg quickly by using the softkey menu <code>PFD > UNITS</code> and press <code>INHG</code> or <code>HPA</code> | ||
The selected altitude is indicated by a lightblue bug along the altitude tape. It is blocked at the upper or lower corner of the tape until the tape has in its range the selected altitude. While the selected altitude isn't in the +/- 300 | {{note|It won't be saved this way for another session. To save it see the zkv1000 settings part in this documentation}} | ||
The setting to standard barometric value (29.92inHg or 1023hPa) can be automatically set by the menu <code>PFD > STD BARO</code>. The barometer setting is essential and can be done by turning the BARO knob in front of the device (left side, under the COMM knob).<br /> | |||
The selected altitude is indicated by a lightblue bug along the altitude tape. It is blocked at the upper or lower corner of the tape until the tape has in its range the selected altitude. While the selected altitude isn't in the +/- 300 altitude unit range a black box indicates the selected altitude above the altitude tape. This box disappears when the indicated altitude is +/- 100 altitude unit of selected altitude. | |||

The vertical speed indicator is on the right just near the altitude tape, and is graduated with major ticks every 1000 ft/min | The vertical speed indicator is on the right just near the altitude tape, and is graduated with major ticks every 1000 ft/min or m/min refered as vertical speed units later in this documentation. Minor ticks are displayed every 500 vertical speed units.<br /> | ||
A black pointer containing the vertical speed with 10 | A black pointer containing the vertical speed with 10 vertical speed units precision moves along the non-moving tape. If the vertical speed exceeds +/- 4500 vertical speed units the pointer is locked to the upper/lower of the non-moving tape, and the vertical speed is detailed inside the pointer. | ||

==== Adjust selected course ==== | ==== Adjust selected course ==== | ||
Select the corresponding GPS, NAV1 or NAV2 display by pressing the CDI softkey, then turn the <code>CRS</code> knob to adjust the desired course for VOR.<br> Unless you aren't in OBS mode you cannot change the course for GPS. To do so, select GPS by pressing <code>CDI</code> softkey, then <code>OBS</code> softkey is displayed as available. To enter in OBS mode, press the <code>OBS</code> softkey, now you can adjust course by turning the <code>CRS</code> knob. | |||
== Set your zkv1000 preferences == | |||
Press the <code>MENU</code> button, a window appears with settings. Navigate into the available settings by turning the outter FMS knob. The inner FMS knob changes the selected setting.<br>To quit and save changes press <code>CLR</code>. | |||
=== Brightness === | |||
You can adjust the luminosity of the whole device (PFD and MFD). Select the first entry <code>Brightness</code> and turn the inner FMS knob to increase or decrease brightness (from 0% to 100%). This setting isn't saved from a session to another. | |||
=== Device lights === | |||
For a night flight you may need to change the device enlightment. With outter FMS knob, select the entry in front of <code>Light</code>. With the inner FMS knob select the device light level to fit your need from 0 (lights off) to 3 (lights very bright). This setting isn't saved from a session to another. | |||
=== Units === | |||
Select the unit domain ou want to change with outter FMS knob, and select the unit with the inner knob. Once choosen, apply the change by pressing the <code>ENT</code> button. Quit the window with the button <code>CLR</code>, the settings will be saved for future session. The settings are only for that aircraft, so if you use another aircraft you have to set to fit your needs again.<br> | |||
The unit will be used everywhere on the zkv1000, MFD and PFD, and all corresponding data will be displayed in the unit set here.<br> | |||
Here is the list of available domains and their units, at the time of writting: | |||
* Pressure: inHg or hPa | |||
* Altitude: feet or meters | |||
* Distance: NM (nautic miles) or km (kilometers) | |||
* Speed: KT (knots) or km/h (kilometers per hour) | |||
* Vert. Speed (for Vertical speed): ft/min or m/min | |||
* Temperat. (for Temperature): F (Fahrenheit) or °C (degrees Celsius) | |||
* Volume: L (liters), M3 (cube meter) or GAL (US gal) | |||
<note>It is possible to quickly set the pressure setting from the <code>PFD > UNITS</code> softkeys sequence</note> | |||
=== Time === | |||
The default displayed time is GMT. You may want to display time in UTC, LCL (local, dependant of your aircraft location), or RL (Real Life, the time of your computer). This setting isn't saved from a session to another. | |||
== check and adapt Vspeeds references == | |||
You may check the Vspeed references for your aircraft (if any). Press <code>TMR/REF</code> softkey. A window is now displayed presenting a timer, eventually Vspeeds if they are set, and minimums settings (which isn't used at the time of writing).<br> | |||
Turn the outter FMS knob to select successively the displayed Vspeed. 3 are shown but the list may be longer so continue until you reach the minimums settings.<br> | |||
You can modify the Vspeed reference by turning the inner knob to adapt it at your situation (altitude, temperature, weight, etc.) | |||
If the device is configured with stall angle of attack (see installation guide) then the softkeys menus <code>PFD > AOA/WIND > AOA ON</code> shows up a window just near the airspeed tape. This indicates the current normalized angle of attack, a LightBlue mark shows the best normalized angle of attack for approach.<br /> | |||
The softkey menu <code>PFD > AOA/WIND > AOA AUTO</code> make the AoA indicator showing up automagically if the gears are down and flaps out. | |||
