Adding a few options is an interesting way to make the EDM-700 even better. The connection to the GPS makes the EDM part of a flight management system that allows you to calculate the fuel remaining, the fuel required, the next fix, the fuel reserve at the next fix, the miles per gallon, time to empty, the total fuel used and the fuel-flow rate. By keeping an eye on some of these critical parameters, you can do an even better job of running and maintaining your engine. The addition of the data recorder allows the EDM to record information on as many as 36 engine temperatures and four pressures. The rate of capture is user-selectable, so that important data can be recorded more frequently, and less vital data less frequently.
All data is time-stamped to assist with troubleshooting and record keeping.
Connect your laptop computer to the port, and you can record engine and other monitor data in real time. No matter how you look at it, the EDM-700 is a powerful engine management tool. 2001 Werner Publishing Corp.
