Eclipse: 10,4 XVGA
Vectra: 8.5 WGA
These are full featured systems that require a B-BOX unit as the central part of the system. One or two B-BOX units can share up to 8 panels.
Eclipse/lite and Vectra/lite do not require a B-BOX and feature integrated sensors and AHRS. These options are intended for aircraft that do not require full interface capabilities, resulting in lower cost and easier installation.
The diagram shows a typical system using a single B-BOX. Wiring is greatly reduced by allowing the B-BOX to be placed in a suitable location, and interconnections between systems are kept to a minimum by using efficient network connections to the panels. This image shows only a few of the many options but serves as an introduction to a possible system.

Functionality in brief
Primary Flight instruments:
Altimeter, Airspeed, Vertical speed, AHRS, rate of turn, slip, angle of attack.
Synthetic vision including 4 video sources (FLIR cameras etc), TAWS (on synthetic vision and 2D maps).
Navigation system:
Built in WAAS GPS (50 channels), connectivity to external navigation systems and radios. ARINC, VOR, ILS. Including built in simulated ILS/Glide slope and VOR using GPS.
Voice annunciation and alerts
Engine monitoring:
Via external RDAC modules up to 4 engines, comprehensive sensor connectivity. Suitable for any type of engine including turbines. RDAC modules greatly reduce wiring.
“Lite”: 2 x RS232, 1 x CAN
Redundancy:
Systems from simple to complex redundancy can be constructed using multiple sensors (AHRS etc), dual B-BOX and mutiple panels. Master and backup power supplies in various topographies suported.
“Lite” systems provide self contained panels that can share sensors.
Autopilot:
Supports external autopilots (NMEA and ARINC) as well as providing a built in autopilot that can drive servos directly.
The built in autopilot is one of the best in the industry and can fly even “twitchy” aircraft in all conditions. Supports one, two or three axis servo control. Autopilot includes lateral as well as vertical control and can fly glide slopes.
Connectivity (B-Box):
6 x RS232, 3 ARINC RX, 1 ARINC TX. 2 x CAN. Analog nav inputs, analog/digital inputs, encoder output, general purpose outputs
