Preparation for Use
2.
The VXP basic system consists of the acquisition unit, the display unit, CompactFlash Card
Adapter, Zio! USB CompactFlash Card Reader/Writer, USB Floppy Disk Drive, the printer, and
the cables to connect these pieces. All of the other sensors can be ordered as needed, and
connected as needed. Optional equipment is listed in the introduction.
Since the VXP can be attached to a variety of aircraft, there is no set installation procedure. Each
aircraft application has specific software with on-line help that includes information on how and
where to connect the various sensors that may be needed. The only part of the installation that is
"standard" is the interconnection between the AU, DU and printer, and the connection to the
aircraft power source. These topics are discussed in this chapter.
