Setup Page: Data Field Conﬁguration

Conﬁguring the Auxiliary Data Field:

1)Select ‘Data Field Configuration’ from the Setup Page, using the steps described at the beginning of this section..

2)Turn the small right knob to select an option from the Auxiliary Configuration Window (Figure 10-43). The following options are available:

•VOR/LOC Data - Displays the identiﬁer, distance, and radial from the tuned VOR station active

in the VLOC window. When tuned to a nearby localizer; the localizer identiﬁer, associated air- port, and runway are displayed instead.

•Conﬁgurable Data Fields - Displays a user-select- able data ﬁeld of navigation data (see Table 10-3 for available options).

•Trafﬁc Watch - If the GNS 530 is connected to other equipment providing trafﬁc alert informa- tion, a window is provided to display trafﬁc information. This allows trafﬁc monitoring from any page to quickly identify trafﬁc hazards.

NOTE: The ‘Trafﬁc’ selection in the Auxiliary Conﬁguration Field is only available if the GNS 530 is conﬁgured for interface with a trafﬁc information device (see Section 14).

3)Press the ENT Key to accept the data type.

4)If ‘Conﬁgurable Data Fields’ is selected, a second selection ﬁeld appears. Turn the large right knob to highlight this second ﬁeld, then turn the small right knob to display a list of available navigation data types (Table 10-3). Continue turning the small right knob to select the desired data type and press the ENT Key to conﬁrm the selection.
