3 OPERATION

3.1 MENU NAVIGATION

The CDP menus are navigated using the Arrow Keys (◄, ▼, ►, ◄) and Enter key (the center key inside the

arrows marked by a circle ◙) on the front of the CDP-300. Use the arrow keys to scroll the menus, and choose a

desired item, and then press the Enter Key to select it. The Right arrow key (►) can be used to fast scroll forward

through the entries (10 at a time) in the Quick Mail and Address Book menus.

In any menu, holding the Enter key ◙ for 2 seconds will return the user to the Main Menu. The current activity will

be aborted.

The CDP has two types of menus – Selection Menu and Information Menu. The operation of these menus is

explained below.

3.1.1 SELECTION MENU

A Selection Menu provides a list of options available to the user. The user can navigate through the menu to

choose and select an item. The Up and Down keys are used to scroll up/down thru a menu and the Enter key

selects and opens the item chosen by the cursor.

As a CDP-300 – Stand alone only the Left and Right arrow keys have the following ‘Hot Key’ functionality from the

Main Menu:

Holding the Left arrow key (◄) down activates the redial function. Holding the Right arrow key, (►) can directly

activate / deactivate the ISAT Emergency mode (see Section 0).

In all other menus the right arrow key has no functionality. In most menus the Left arrow key (◄) will take the user

back in the Menu structure.

An Information Panel provides information appropriate to the menu. For example, in the Main Menu, the

Information Panel shows how many unread email messages are in the inbox, or if any Alert conditions are active.

Caution: While in a voice call the ISAT-200 is unable to send position reports. Users should limit the length of the voice call in order to

allow position reports to be transmitted in a timely manner. All position reports are queued in the ISAT and delivered when the call is

finished.

4.1 QUICK MAIL

Main Menu  Quick Mail

The Quick Mail menu allows the user to send pre-programmed emails. The maximum number supported is 99.

The Quick Mails can be programmed in the SkyWeb application.

To send a Quick Mail Message, select the Quick mail option, then use the arrow keys to select the desired Quick

Mail Message followed by pressing the ◙ Enter key. If combined with a DVI, the DVI ‘Send’ key can be used for

“express send” to the predefined default address.(When scrolling thru the quick mails, the ► right arrow key can

be used to scroll 10 messages at a time. The ◄ left arrow key will return the user to the Main Menu).

The user is then prompted to select the message recipient, and either

Restricted Proprietary and Confidential Information

2. To send the Quick Mail to a recipient selected from the address book, or

3. Enter a New address from the keypad (CDP/DVI operation only)

Note: In the CDP/DVI configuration the user can also edit the quick mail and save the changes.

4.1.1 EDITABLE FIELD MESSAGE (EFM)

Quick Mails, and/or replies can be created to have user editable fields. The fields hold multiple options that the user

can select from, increasing the capability of a single message.

Example: A message can be created to have an editable field for a time value in the form (00:00), where each digit

can be adjusted, separately, enabling any value from 00:00 to 23:59 to be sent using one Editable Field Message.

Editable messages are pre-programmed with selectable options using the SkyWeb application. Please see your

SkyWeb Program Manager or their designate to get these entered.

In order to send an editable message, select the message that is to be sent from the Quick Mail menu by using the

◙ key. If using a CDP/DVI, the DVI ‘Send” key can be used to ‘express send’ to the predefined default address.

(Those that include editable fields will show ‘EFM’ in the top line of the display). Choose the recipient from the

available options (the default location or use the address book) and press the ◙ key. The cursor will automatically

be placed at the field that is to be edited. Use the ▲, ▼ keys to scroll through the preset options and the ►, ◄ keys

to move to the next editable field. (The number of editable fields will be indicated in the top right corner of the

screen).

Once the relevant entries have been made, select the ◙ key again to send the message.

that are queued to be sent from the CDP to the ISAT. If the Outbox messages are not being emptied, then the

CDP is unable to communicate with the ISAT. The user will have the option to either read the messages or delete

them. Once an Email is sent from the CDP to the ISAT, it is removed from the Outbox and stored in the Sentbox.

4.4 SYSTEM

Main Menu  System

The System menu has many sub-menus for viewing system information and configuration items, and performing

Diagnostics or clearing Quick Mails, Emails, and Address Book entries. Functionality available under the System

menu is further described below.

Values can be generally changed using either the keypad or the up and down arrow keys on the CDP/DVI. The

arrow keys are the only option on the CDP-300.

The system menu has the following sub-menus to set and view various system parameters and information:

 Address Book

 Brightness

 System Setup

 Enter Flight Num

 Display Off

4.4.1 ADDRESS BOOK

you wish to add to the Address book.

4.4.1.2 EDIT

Edits an existing address book entry.

4.4.1.3 DELETE

Permanently deletes an existing entry.

4.4.2 BRIGHTNESS

There are up to five options selectable from the “Brightness” menu:

 Use Optical Mode

 Use Dimmer Mode

 Manual Adjust

 Dimmer Ext Rng Mode (not available in FW Ver 5.x)

 Configuration

4.4.2.1 USE OPTICAL MODE

In optical sensor brightness mode, the CDP-300 senses the aircraft cabin ambient lighting using the light sensor

present in the Display panel and sets the brightness of the display, indicators and backlight proportional to the

aircraft cabin ambient lighting.

The Optical sensor updates the brightness about every 5-7 seconds to prevent display flickering in varying

ambient lighting conditions that are short duration.

4.4.2.2 USE DIMMER MODE

In the Dimmer Bus Mode, the brightness of the CDP-300 backlights and LEDs will simply follow the voltage on the

dimmer bus until the voltage set by the “Dimmer Bus Volt” Menu is reached. Afterwards, the display and

backlights will remain at maximum brightness.

UNCONTROLLED COPY IF PRINTED

CDP-300 User’s Guide

Document Rev. 01.008 DOC0500 Page 19 of 42

Restricted Proprietary and Confidential Information

This method only functions if the dimmer bus has been wired to the CDP.

The exception is when the voltage falls below a configured minimum threshold, and the optical sensor indicates a

bright cabin, then the backlights and LEDs will be set to maximum brightness. This feature ensures that during

bright daylight when the dimmer bus is off, the Display and indicators are at their maximum brightness.

The threshold at which this occurs can be configured at the “Dimmer Threshold” menu option. Setting the Dimmer

Threshold to 0 disables the daylight mode behaviour, and this may be desirable for certain conditions. The user

can also vary the relative ambient brightness required to trigger a daylight response via the “Daylight Threshold”

menu option.

4.4.2.3 MANUAL ADJUST

Manual Adjust overrides any previously selected automatic modes (Optical Sensor Mode or Dimmer Bus). It

allows the user to manually adjust the brightness to one of 15 levels. This setting will persist in the system until

the next factory reset or until the setting is changed again, to one of the automatic modes or different manual

setting.

4.4.2.4 DIMMER EXT RNG MODE (NOT AVAILABLE IN STANDALONE MODE OR WITH FIRMWARE

VERSION 5.X)

The Dimmer Ext Rng Mode or extended dimmer bus mode allows the dimmer bus input to the CDP to make the

display brighter at the top end of the dimmer bus range and dimmer at the low end of the dimmer bus range. This

is useful for night vision equipment users who may need the display to go dimmer than the dimmer bus mode.

Note: The extended range dimmer bus mode must first be enabled using the CDP/DVI configuration menu:

System Setup  Extended Dimmer Bus Cfg Enable Ext Dim Bus.

By default, use of the extended dimmer bus mode is not enabled and the option is not presented to users. The

effect of enabling adds the extended dimmer bus mode as an option in the brightness menu.

If the dimmer bus is not physically wired in a given installation, selection of the extended dimmer bus mode may

leave the display off (0 volts on the dimmer bus input pin). The configuration option prevents users from selecting

the extended dimmer bus mode when a dimmer bus has not been connected.

CDP-300 User’s Guide

Document Rev. 01.008 DOC0500 Page 20 of 42

Restricted Proprietary and Confidential Information

When the CDP is installed and the extended range dimmer bus mode is to be used, the lower third of the dimmer

bus input voltage must be adjusted prior to use. To do this:

 Set the brightness mode to use extended dimmer bus mode.

 Using the dimmer bus, adjust the display to the lowest visible setting.

 When the display is showing the Main Menu, the ► right arrow on the CDP will adjust the display refresh

rate.

 Repeatedly pressing the ► right arrow will cyclically go through the 11 possible refresh rate adjustments.

 Go through all the settings until the best setting is found.

 Turn the dimmer bus up and down in the lower third of the dimmer bus input’s settings (the lower third of

the dimmer bus knob’s travel) to make sure that all the low dimmer bus settings are good.

 After the best setting is found, the setting will be saved 2 minutes after the last adjustment. This saved

setting will be recalled every time the unit is powered on.

Note: The ► right arrow may be used to adjust the refresh rate whenever the CDP is displaying a menu (as

opposed to displaying a data entry screen, for example). Again, the last refresh rate adjustment will be saved 2

minutes after the user has completed the adjustment. This feature is not available in Standalone mode or FW Ver

5.x.

4.4.2.5 CONFIGURATION

This menu shows the current configuration values set for the brightness parameters:

 Optical Gain (Values from 00 to 99)

 Night Time Max (Values from 05 to 15)

 Daylight Thresh (Values from 0 to 9)

 Dimmer Thresh (Values from 0 to 9)

 Dim Bus Voltage (Values from 00 to 35)

4.4.3 SYSTEM SETUP

Main Menu  System  System Setup

Caution: When using the extended dimmer bus mode, the display can be turned off by turning the dimmer knob all the way down. This

is different than the standard dimmer bus mode which can be set to make the display go to daytime brightness levels if the dimmer bus

is turned all the way down. The reason for the difference is that for the normal dimmer bus mode, turning the dimmer bus all the way

down is interpreted by the CDP as the user turning off the dimmer bus (i.e., it is daytime). This is not interpreted in the same way for the

extended dimmer bus mode. In this later circumstance, having the display go to daytime levels as a result of turning the dimmer bus

down may cause an uncomfortable glare in night vision goggles.
