1.6 The Interface Unit
The Interface Unit IF-2500 outputs data re-
ceived from the navigators to external equip-
ment. Operational status is shown by the LEDs
on the unit. For further details, see APPEN-
DIX B of this manual. For how to select data
to output, see paragraph 8.4 Outputting Data.
Output data conventions
Since both navigators output data to the IF-
2500 (through two ports on the interface) con-
fusion would reign if it were to try to output
two sets of mostly identical data. Therefore,
data output is governed by the following rules:
When both navigators are outputting data
correctly, data received at the port having
higher priority is output.
When the GPS abnormal receive signal is
received at the port having higher priority,
data received from the other port is output.
30 seconds after data received at the port
having higher priority becomes normal,
the interface resumes outputting data re-
ceived from that port.
When data from both navigators is in er-
ror, data received at the port having higher
priority is output.
Arrival alarm signal or cross track error
alarm is converted to a contact signal and
output when received at the port having
higher priority.
When no data is received from one or both
navigators, a contact signal is output.
