Hi,
I've just finished a completely new panel for my flying "Brand X" experimental (GlaStar) so I hope all y'all don't mind my question -- I think the answer is here somewhere.
The supplier that provided my "pre-wired" panel used the only input to the 696 for the Zaon XRX traffic, as I asked them to do. But I would also like to have the 430W automatically load flight plans into the 696. I understand that you can daisy chain up to about four serial outputs from the 430W to various devices but has anyone been able to hook up two inputs to the 696? (I understand that I'd have to go to system settings and change the input format to switch back and forth from the traffic input to the flight plan input but would doing so simply not work regardless of the input setting on the 696?)
For those of you loading flight plans from a 430W to a 696, does that input line have to always be active to keep the flight plan in the 696 (assuming no changes to the flight plan in the 430W) or is it persistent once its been transferred even if you change the system input setting to something else?
Best regards,
Bob
