Garmin G3X Touch Software v9.21 Now Available (4/20/2023)
We released G3X Touch Version 9.21 to the Software Download Area today.
We have been working to address some of the commonly requested EIS improvements/functions from the group over the years. Among those changes include the addition of EGT/CHT Normalize mode, custom fuel quantity, voltage and current gauge labels and the ability to designate many EIS parameters as text-only on the EIS strip (This allows the installer to display considerably more engine/airframe EIS parameters on the strip than was possible in the past).
In addition to these changes, we have included a powerful new Advanced Gauge Marking Configuration tool. This provides the installer with the ability to modify gauge or CAS behavior based on the state of other EIS parameters, in addition to altitude and airspeed. Examples of how this can be used are to provide an on screen indication of Vfe exceedance when flaps are in the extended position, or to create a dynamic RPM gauge that varies based on current Oil Temperature (Applicable to some Rotax engines). Please see Appendix I of the AS Revision of the G3X Touch Installation Manual for more information on these examples. Section 29.4.32.27 "Advanced Gauge Configuration", was also added to provide a users guide for this tool.
We will soon be launching a replacement for the GEA 24 EIS controller, the GEA 24B. This software update includes support for this unit. More information will be provided when we begin shipping this unit, but it is largely a fit/form/function equivalent of its predecessor.
Other changes included in this update:
- Remote CAS Acknowledgement - Three new discrete input presets were added that facilitate the remote acknowledgement of Caution and Warning level CAS Messages.
- External Caution and Warning Lamp Configuration - Two new configuration settings were added that modify the behavior of the external Caution and Warning lamps. Between the Remote CAS Acknowledgement changes and this change, the commonly requested "Press to Acknowledge" external lamp behavior can be achieved.
- Added Minimized Option for COM Radio Controls - This allows COM radio remote controls to be condensed into a single databar field, providing more space on the display for data fields or other remote LRU controls. See Screenshot above.
- Added Flexibility to Sound Configuration Menu - Installers can now modify the volume for individual audible alerts by touching the associated Volume button in Configuration mode. The far left position of the volume slider sets the volume to AUTO. If set to AUTO the volume for that alert will be slaved to the MASTER ALERT VOLUME.
- New RS-232 Formats - Aviation Out, Fuel Flow Out, and Fuel/Airdata Out are now available to be selected in the Serial data configuration menu. Aviation Out is Primarily used to provide GPS data to ELT units. Fuel Flow Out and Fuel/Airdata Out are variants of the Shadin Format which can be used to provide data to a GTN, GNS, and others.
- Discrete Input Preset for Remote Control of User Timer - When this input is activated momentarily, the G3X Touch user time will start/stop. When the input is held active, the user timer will reset.
- Baro Transition Reminder - This serves as a reminder to the pilot to change the barometric pressure setting to standard when climbing through the barometric transition altitude, or to change the barometric pressure setting from standard to the local altimeter setting when descending through the barometric transition altitude.
A new Pilot's Guide (Revision V) and Installation Manual (Revision AS) have been released to support these changes and will be posted to our website today. These can be downloaded from the G3X Touch Manuals page.
Several updates have been included in a GDU 3XX software update, which was released alongside this update. A new G5 software version is also available, although when installed in a G3X Touch system, the G5 software is included in the G3X Touch software package.
