PAGE 43
3.7 Configuration Mode Overview Throughout this document, references are made to the PFD1, PFD2 and/or MFD being in configuration mode. The configuration mode exists to provide the avionics technician with a means of configuring, checking, and calibrating various G1000 sub-systems. Troubleshooting and diagnostics information can also be viewed in this mode. To start the G1000 system in configuration mode, follow these steps: 1.
PAGE 44
Data can be manually copied from one column to the other (and consequently from PFD memory to the LRU memory and vice-versa) by using the following two softkeys, when available: • SET>ACTV (read ‘Set to Active’) softkey: Allows the installer to send the information in the SET column (data stored in the master config module) to the ACTV column (data used by LRU). • ACTV>SET (read ‘Active to Set’) softkey: Causes the LRUs current settings to be copied to the master configuration module as SET items.
PAGE 45
When troubleshooting the system, technicians can look for inequalities between SET and ACTIVE columns. Certain problems can be resolved simply by pressing the SET>ACTV softkey, which reloads settings to the specific LRU from the PFD. (Note that this can also be accomplished by reloading the configuration files for the LRU. Section 7 describes this process for each LRU). A blank active column, as shown in Figure 3-11, represents loss of communication between the display and the particular unit.
PAGE 46
3.7.4 Configuration Mode Navigation Using the FMS knob as described in Section 3.1.2, a user can navigate through different pages and page groups in the Configuration Mode. For complete description and breakdown of each page, refer to the G1000 System Maintenance Manual listed in Table 1-3. System Page Group 1. System Status 5. System Upload 9.

See Table 1-2 for the correct General Arrangement drawing part numbers. Each G1000 / GFC 700 LRU reports the software version it currently contains to the user in two places. • Normal System Mode: The AUX – SYSTEM STATUS page lists each LRU and the reported software version.
PAGE 52
3.8.5 Configuration File Storage The G1000 system is designed to store all configuration settings in various places so that the configuration is retained in the aircraft during maintenance of units. During system configuration, each file is sent directly to the applicable LRU where it is stored in local LRU memory (reference Figure 3-14.) Each file is also stored in the PFD internal memory.
PAGE 53
The GRS 77 AHRS and GMU 44 Magnetometer do not have a configuration file. However, the GRS77 does store calibration data acquired during the post installation checkout, which are characteristic to the specific installation. A copy of this calibration data is stored in the GRS 77 configuration module. While performing maintenance on these units, re-calibration may be required. See Section 7.7.1 for more information on re-calibration criteria.
PAGE 54
3.9 G1000 Software/Configuration Procedure This section summarizes the procedures required to load software and configuration files to the G1000.

PAGE 253
7.7.1 GRS/GMU Calibration Procedures GRS/GMU Recalibration Criteria The following calibration procedures are provided for the GRS 77 and GMU 44: • Pitch/Roll Offset: (Procedure A1, PROVIDED IN SECTION 7.7.2) • Magnetometer Calibration: (Procedure B, PROVIDED IN SECTION 7.7.4) • Engine Run-Up Vibration Test: (Procedure D, PROVIDED IN SECTION 7.7.5) • Magnetometer Interference Test: (Procedure E, PROVIDED IN SECTION 5.15.
PAGE 254
7.7.2 Procedure A1: GRS 77 Pitch/Roll Offset Calibration This procedure must be performed for both GRS 77 units installed in the aircraft. This first procedure must be carried out with the engine off. 1. Level the aircraft to within ±0.25° of zero pitch and zero roll using a digital level. (Follow instructions in Super King Air 300 or B300 Maintenance Manual, listed in Table 1-2, for leveling) 2. Start the G1000 system in Configuration mode. 3.

Press the ENT key on the PFD to conclude this procedure for GRS 77 #1. 13. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for GRS 77 #2. NOTE The Magnetometer Calibration Procedure that follows in Section 7.7.
PAGE 256
7.7.4 1. Procedure B: GRS 77/GMU 44 Magnetic Calibration NOTE Procedure A-1 (Section 7.7.2) must first be successfully accomplished before performing Procedure B, only for situations where the GRS 77 was replaced with a new unit. Start the aircraft engine following the procedures referenced in the appropriate King Air AFM or AFMS as shown in the General Arrangement drawing, listed in Table 1-2. 2. After aircraft engine startup, taxi the aircraft to a properly calibrated compass rose. 3.
PAGE 257
NOTE Due to the difficulties in executing smooth, accurate turns the PFD may incorrectly interpret a station and instruct to “HOLD POSITION” prior to full completion of a 30° turn. If this scenario is encountered, it is best for the operator to ignore the “HOLD POSITION” command and instead use outside references to complete the approximate 30° turn.
PAGE 258
7.7.5 Procedure D: Engine Run-Up Vibration Procedure NOTE Calibration Procedure D is performed in order to guarantee that the AHRS mounting is sufficiently rigid and insensitive to vibration. This procedure must be performed for both GRS 77 units installed in the aircraft. Calibration Procedures A1 and B (Sections 7.7.2 and 7.7.4 respectively) are not required prior to this procedure. Figure 7-6, Engine Run-Up Test Page 1. Press the FMS small knob to highlight GRS 77 #1.
PAGE 259
NOTE Should a failure occur, the technician may perform the Engine Run-up test up to 3 times successively before corrective action must be taken. If the test does not pass after three attempts, then the installation should not be considered reliable until the source of the vibration problem is identified and remedied. In the event of repeated failure of the engine run-up test, record the values that are reported to be out of range for future reference.
