NAV System Compatibility TableEFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 1997This document gives information on the compatibility between the Argus and various categories of navigation systems. Note that in the case of a currently owned Argus or adaptor, it may be necessary to obtain a software upgrade to achieve the results listed here.
The Nav Systems included in this table are known to be compatible with the Argus 3000, 5000 and 7000 models. The information provided by the Nav Systems will affect how the Argus screen appears. The various Nav Systems listed below do not appear in any order of preference. Eventide has made no investigation of the accuracy or sufficiency of these units and nothing said herein should be interpreted as our recommending any unit. Recently manufactured Nav Systems not appearing on this table may be compatible with the Argus. Please contact the Nav System manufacturer to confirm compatibility with the Argus.
NOTE 1. Only one waypoint will be displayed from the TNL 2000
Version 1.0 and TNL 3000 Version 2.0.
ARINC LABELS (Flight Management Systems)The Argus 5000 and Argus 7000 are also compatible with Eventide Avionics RAA 5007-00 and RAA 7007-00, and Shadin Company, Inc. Model 933600, ARINC 419/429 Adapters, which are available for interface with several VLF/OMEGA, Inertial Navigation, Area Navigation, Flight Management Systems and some Loran C receivers. For more information contact Eventide Avionics. ARINC units generating the following appropriate labels should be compatible with the Argus. The following ARINC labels are supported by the Argus system with the ARINC adapter:
NMEA Sentences (Handheld and Marine GPS)Most GPS receivers not specifically designed for aircraft installation use a marine navigation standard called "NMEA." This includes most of the handheld units that are popular with aircraft renters and others who don't want to make a permanent installation. Because of the large number of manufacturers and rapid introduction and obsolescence of these products, it isn't practical for us to test them with the Argus. While these units may give satisfactory performance, please remember that they have no FAA approval whatsoever and connecting them to the Argus implies no such approval of the combination for navigation or for any other purpose. Due to their typically poor antenna location, you are likely to experience occasional dropouts and other problems. To use one of these products with the Argus, it must meet several requirements. Most obviously, it must have a data output. The Argus requires RS-232 data at any common baud rate. If there is an RS-232 output, it will probably be technically satisfactory. Next, it must provide enough information for the Argus to draw a map and, perhaps, a flight plan. The unit's specifications should tell you what NMEA "sentences" are output by the unit. If they don't, please contact the unit's manufacturer to find out this information. Below are the Argus' requirements. These are the NMEA 0183 sentences which are accepted by the Argus, version 5.03.
The minimum information that the Argus requires is: Latitude, longitude, track (course over ground), ground speed, bearing to waypoint, distance to waypoint and crosstrack deviation. It is also desirable to have desired track and magvar. If the display of the complete flight plan is desired, then the R00 (or RTE) and WPL sentences are needed. When transmitting a flight plan, the R00 sentence must be immediately followed by the correct number of WPL sentences. The WPL sentences must be sent in the same order as the waypoint names in the R00 sentence.
