EFIS D-10 and Turbine

[shinchan(Guest)]

hello,
is possible to run D10 with turbine engine (Solar T62) for mesure rpm, EGT?
in helicopter installation, can you mesure the rotor rpm and transmission temp?
thanks

The EMS wasn't really designed with turbine engines in mind. We can measure EGT's and lots of other temperatures just fine, but we don't really know how to measure RPM in such a high speed device. If the output of your RPM pickup is below 10,000 pulses per minute, we might be able to measure that,

With your additional requirments for rotor RPM, that makes it even more difficult since we now need to measure two RPM's.

It may be possible to overcome these issues in software in the future if there is more interest, but we don't have any plans to do this currently. The biggest issue is that all of our current displays assume that you have multiple cylinders, so we have no easy way to just display one EGT with no CHT's, and other issues like that.
