The synchros run the cockpit displays. Sounds like an intuitive match. But the computed values are also used in other systems: engine control, targeting, that sort of thing. Is the signaling to these also through the synchros? Is there some kind of standard signal format for these?
- creer 3y agoSeems to be mostly synchros. With more views in the videos around this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbOMHQMohc0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbOMHQMohc0

It converts the synchro outputs from the air data computer into the formats required by the particular aircraft. These are probably synchro outputs as well, but might need to be scaled. (I don't think there is a standard.) The converter would also distribute the signals as needed, with a connector for each device that receives the data.
