Abstract
A display system for an aircraft, comprising at least one first display unit; at least one second display unit; a control unit that is configured to control the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit; and a storage unit with a main memory that is configured to store at least one configuration file, wherein the at least one configuration file is useable by the control unit for configuration of the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit, and wherein the at least one configuration file defines at least one displayable parameter for the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit.
Claims15
A display system for an aircraft, comprising:
- at least one first display unit;
- at least one second display unit;
- a control unit that is configured to control the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit;
- and
- a storage unit with main memory that is configured to store at least one configuration file,
- wherein
- the at least one configuration file is useable by the control unit for configuration of the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit,
- wherein the at least one configuration file defines at least one displayable parameter for the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit and comprises at least one default behavior tag associated with the at least one displayable parameter, and
- wherein the at least one default behavior tag defines a default behavior of the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit upon display of the at least one displayable parameter.
A method of configuring a display system of an aircraft, wherein the display system comprises at least one first display unit, at least one second display unit, a control unit that is configured to control the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit, and a storage unit with a main memory and a secondary memory, the method comprising the following steps that are executed by means of the control unit:
- retrieving, from the main memory, at least one configuration file that is useable by the control unit for configuration of the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit, wherein the at least one configuration file defines at least one displayable parameter for the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit and comprises at least one default behavior tag associated with the at least one displayable parameter, and wherein the at least one default behavior tag defines a default behavior of the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit upon display of the at least one displayable parameter;
- configuring the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit using the at least one configuration file;
- retrieving, from the secondary memory, at least one modified default behavior tag that is provided to be used instead of the at least one default behavior tag;
- and
- using the at least one modified default behavior tag instead of the at least one default behavior tag for the at least one displayable parameter with the at least one first display unit and the at least one second display unit.
