GolfWhiskeyHotel Posted July 13 Posted July 13 I'm usinh a DynonD6 recently and I see some acronyms on the screen MX- CR -MN with ciphers (I attach a photo.) can anyone tell me what they are and how to remove them? Thanks . G
BrendAn Posted July 13 Posted July 13 Have they been on the screen all the time or have they appeared later. My d6 does not have them and the owners manual doesn't show them. . Nor does the calibration section of the installation manual. Have you tried going into setup and scrolling through the menus. 1
onetrack Posted July 13 Posted July 13 (edited) Brendan is correct, the D6 manuals do not show these symbols. They appear on the D10A and they're identified as G-meter values. The values can be reset in the menu, but it doesn't appear that you can remove the G-meter symbols from the screen in any way. The manual only says you can have a choice of displayed symbols. See page 5-11, or page 49 in the PDF page numbering. https://www.dynonavionics.com/includes/guides/EFIS-D10A_Pilot's_User_Guide_Rev_L.pdf Edited July 13 by onetrack 2

Bosi72 Posted July 14 Posted July 14 1 hour ago, BrendAn said: It may be a reading from turbulence Not likely. The recent Singapore 777 turbulence accident experienced severe turbulence from -1.5G to +1.5G. +3.9G is likely the 4th quarter of the loop (or reverse half cuban, or some other loop-like manouever). 1 1
kgwilson Posted July 14 Posted July 14 Also not likely in a Jabiru/Rotax. Seems more likely to be a firmware glitch to me. A complete re-image of the firmware or an upgrade would probably resolve this. The latest Dynon firmware is 1.1.4. I am currently using version 1.1.2. The D6 is no longer manufactured. 2

I didn't know what plane it was. I was thinking of ultralights like mine , they can experience high g because of the light wing loading. That's why a lot of ultralight aircraft have higher limits than faster aircraft. 1 1

I don't know how he has those readings on a d6 unless it's a software update that I haven't downloaded. 1
kgwilson Posted July 14 Posted July 14 Firmware is often written for the top of the range hardware and lines of code edited out for lower specified gear. From the screenshot of that D6, there is a heap of information missing. The display is quite customisable to lessen clutter if required. There is usually a ribbon compass on the top of the screen, ASI, VSI, digital readouts & trends, turn co-ordinator, pitch & roll indicators & a voltmeter where the G meter info is. It is 3 lines exactly the same but lableled M for master voltage, E for External backup power input and I for internal battery. Almost all of these things can be toggled on or off in the Cluttr menu. There is also an AoA meter if the AoA probe has been installed. 1 2

kgwilson Posted July 14 Posted July 14 Correct, I have a D6 as well. That's why I mentioned the firmware glitch. A firmware re-image or upgrade would most likely fix it. 2 1
Blueadventures Posted July 14 Posted July 14 Have you emailed the Australian supplier and the parent company tech support? 1
facthunter Posted July 15 Posted July 15 My Citabria had a "G" meter. Handy to equate what you're doing with stresses. Can be reset anytime. Usual spin recovery 2.5. Pull out from dive at recovery. A very ROUGH loop could register 7 positive. if you work at it. Nev 1
