In version 10.1 is it possible to have two of the serial output ports configured for "Aviation" data output at the same time? I would like to set port #2 and #3 to Aviation data because I know that the devices I have connected on port 2 use that data format and I think that the device on port 3 does too, but I might need to change it. |

Our unit had port 4 and 5 set to Aviation, port 5 would not work. My understanding is 10.1 will actually prevent you from even selecting aviation on more than one port. |

Can't do it yet but our next major software release will let you set any number of output ports to Aviation 232. ------------- Steve Jacobson sjacobson@avidyne.com |

That is a nice step forward, from this GNS level limitation. * Orest |

| By "major" do you mean 10.2? Or 10.1.1? Any gross idea of the timeline on that? Weeks, months, or years? |

LOL. No problem. I understand. Mostly just trying to get a feel for what decimal point level constitutes a Major software change at Avidyne. Different manufacturers seem to treat that term differently. No judgment. Just wondering. |

From what I've seen so far, the first decimal is a major, the second a minor. 10.0.2 -> 10.0.3 (minor) 10.0.3 -> 10.1.0 (major) * Orest |

Thank you for all of your help so far. I have a follow-on question if you don't mind. I just want to make sure that there won't be any limitations on which ports can have duplicate data. In my case, I think that the optimal configuration will end up with Aviation on port #1 and port #4. I really appreciate the help. David Bunin |
