PRGM COM
 
Return line for grounding strap option inputs.
 
 
453 Control Data Input
 
High-speed digital bus that carries control data and processed terrain information from the EGPWS to the WXA-1000. Data is transmitted in 1600-bit words at a 1 megabit/s rate.
 
 
WXA Data B (Ext Load)
 
Use this input instead of J2-19 for the side B connection of the ARINC 453 bus when connecting a second WXA to the bus. This input provides additional resistance to maintain the bus impendance at 70Ω. Not used in a single WXA-1000 installation.
 
 
Left/Right (F)
 
Strap input for left-side/right-side identification. Connecting this input to PRGM COM (J2-12) identifies the unit as the right-side WXA. Left open, unit is identified as the left-side or single WXA.
 
 
EFIS Ready (F)
 
Active low input from the new EFIS systems that control the start of the next raster update cycle. The raster update cycle normally starts when this line returns to high, but internal timing circuits will intervene to start the raster cycle after 50 ms if the EFIS has not released the input. Ground = hold off raster; open = start raster or use 60-Hz timing.
 
 
WXP-85 Data
 
Serial 4-wire data bus from the WXP-85( ) that contains range and mode information
 
 
WXP-85 Clock
 
Serial 4-wire data bus from the WXP-85( ) that contains range and mode information

WXA Busy
 
Vertical deflection signal supplied to the raster control circuit in the EFIS display. Signal is high for 7.5 ms of the 16.6-ms period for -021 (17.25 ms for -001).

4-wire serial digital data bus that carries annunciator data (range, mode, etc.) to the EFIS system
 
 
WXA Clock
 
4-wire serial digital data bus that carries annunciator data (range, mode, etc.) to the EFIS system
 
 
WXA Shadow
 
265 µs pulse that is generated with the rising edge of each WXA Busy pulse. This signal is used to charge an integrator circuit in the EFIS that varies beam intensity from minimum at the shortest range to maximum at the longest range.
 
 
WXA Retrace
 
Horizontal deflection signal supplied to the raster control circuit in the EFIS display. This signal is low for 7 µs high for -021 (11 µs for -001) and then high for 52 µs. The signal runs continuously at this duty cycle.
 
 
WXAZ Red
 
Video output that controls the red color gun in the EFIS display.
 
 
Range Mark
 
Control signal to the EFIS that displays the range mark. This signal is a 52-µs pulse that occurs at the center of each WXA Busy high period.

Video output that controls the blue color gun in the EFIS display.
 
 
 
WXAZ Green
 
Video output that controls the green color gun in the EFIS display.
