EGT/CHT Normalize mode

[aceflyingservice]

Would it be possible to add a "normalized" mode to the EMS display, similar to the Electronics International (EI) system? This display aligns the graph bars so that any change from normal is quickly apparent.

You can actually configure the EGT/CHT bars on our display to show any temperature range that you like, though there is not an explicit "normalize mode".

When you use our 'lean mode" though the EMS will numerically capture the peak EGTs in the order they happen and the temperature differences as each cylinder comes back off the peak.

Thanks for your response. I don't think I made my suggestion/wish very clear.

Here is a typical cruise display.

|||||||||||||| 1450
||||||||||| 1400
||||||||||||||||| 1475
|||||||||| 1380

Let's say cyl #2 starts to go lean for whatever reason (clogged injector, air intake leak, etc.). The display might look like this.

|||||||||||||| 1450
||||||||||||| 1440
||||||||||||||||| 1475
|||||||||| 1380

Although the data is there that cyl #2 is leaner than usual , it could easily go unnoticed. However, if after cruise settings are established, if the bar display could be "normalized", the display would look like this.

|||||||||||||| 1450
|||||||||||||| 1400
|||||||||||||| 1475
|||||||||||||| 1380

Even though the actual temps are different and the digital display reports as such, the bar graph is aligned.


Now if the previous lean condition developed the display would then look like this.

|||||||||||||| 1450
||||||||||||||||| 1440
|||||||||||||| 1475
|||||||||||||| 1380

The overtemp condition would be very apparent without having to memorize and study the numbers. This feature could be activated similar to the current "lean function" , with the display indicating "normal" or something similar. Pilots flying with the EI CHT/EGT gauge which has a normalized function will normally fly with the display in this mode. The normalized bar graph setting is kept in memory until it is reset by the pilot. This allows engine temperature changes from one flight to another to be readily apparent.

The same feature could be extended to the CHT part of the display.

Thanks for your consideration.
