What is multiplexing?

Process of transmitting information from several sources through one system with different signals staggered in time to form a composite pulse train

What is the biggest advantage of multiplexing?

Saving time and weight of avionics units

What are the four elements of the MIL-STD 1553B data bus system?

Bus controller, remote terminal, bus monitor, data bus

What may sophisticated bus controller do in the event of data bus failures that may jeopardize the aircraft mission or imperil aircraft safety?

Alert the aircraft's pilot

What is a protocol error?

When incoming command and data are electrically correct but the message is illegal by protocol

What factors affect MIL-STD 1553B data bus system reliability and signal quality?

Length of main data bus, position/length of stubs, number terminals connected to data bus

When are transformer-coupled stubs used in MIL-STD 1553B the data bus?

Stub lengths over 20 feet

What are the types of words used on the MIL-STD 1553B data bus?

Command, status, data

What is a command word?

Directs a remote terminal to transmit or receive information across the data bus

What is a status word?

Provides information on status of the remote terminal

What is a data word?

Contains information to be transferred from one avionics unit to another

What is the speed of the fiber optic data bus in its basic figuration?

50 Mbps

What do some fiber-optic data buses use to gain high-speed message transfer capability?

MIL-STD 1553B controlling protocol

What type of bus allows for faster transmission of data than traditional data buses?

Ethernet

What type of protocol does ethernet use?

Carrier sense, multiple access, collision detect (CSMACD)

Where most data flow through when it is sent between two processors?

Through a digital switching module

What is the function of the SGU?

Processing, analog-to-digital conversion, and symbology generation

What component provides the electro-optical interface for the symbology to the pilot and copilot night vision goggles?

VSDU

What is the purpose of the optical combiner assembly?

Transfers image generated by VSDU and mixes it with the forward operating view of NVG's

What is the purpose of the pitch correction switch on the VSDS control unit?

I was artificial Verizon up or down to center on HUD and HDD field of view

What does the VSDS display?

Navigation data, airspeed, altitude, attitude, and various cautions

How is inertial navigation data provided to the SGU?

Via MIL-STD 1553B data bus

What do mission computers manage?

Overall control of aircraft systems and displays

What contains the fault isolation procedures for controlling the mission computer in aircraft equipment during maintenance activities?

OMP software

What will cause a digital video reformatter to remain at its last setting?

Failure of TMIT or central processor

Why is the TMIT classified as an intelligent terminal?

It contains it's own central processing controls and memory

What systems interface with the FSAS in order to provide in-flight advisories to minimize fuel consumption?

FMAC

What fuel indications does the FSAS provide the aircrew?

Fuel quantity, fuel transferred, fuel transfer rate, low pressure warning, and low quantity warning

How is advisory data transmitted?

Over MIL-STD 1553B data bus from FMAC to CDU

What displays the optimum thrust settings and indicated airspeed?

MFDs

How are the FMAC and CDUs connected to the FSB?

Bus couplers

Why is ADC output data provided to the FMAC?

For airspeed calculations

What happens when the IDS detects a fault that is classified as a caution or warning?

Associated light is illuminated

Where are the IDS fault codes recorded?

personal computer memory card international Association (PCMCIA) Removable memory modules (RMM)

What happens after the mission computer determines the BIT status of all LRUs connected to the MIL-STD 1553B data bus?

BIT status of LRU is monitored

Where is recorded IDS diagnostic data downloaded for analysis?

MMS

What is static pressure?

Weight of air above and area

What is the standard datum plane?

Pressure of the alternate source is lower than atmospheric pressure

What are the three basic pitot-static instruments?

Airspeed, vertical velocity, and altitude
