SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS System Overview Data Entry Three methods exist for directly entering alphanumeric data (e.g., waypoint identifiers, barometric minimum descent altitude) into the system: using the Touchscreen Controller's alphanumeric keypad, the large and small right knob on the bottom of the Touchscreen Controller, or the PFD Knob on the PFD Controller. In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, the system will try to predict the desired identifier based on the characters being entered. In this case, if the desired identifier appears, use the ENTER Button to confirm the entry without entering the rest of the identifier manually. This can save the pilot from entering all the characters of the identifier. Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcut for entering waypoint identifiers. When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of a waypoint identifier, touching the Find Button accesses four different lists of waypoint identifiers for quick selection: Recent, Nearest, Flight Plan (if active flight plan waypoints are available), and Favorites. In addition, the system provides the ability to search by Facility Name or by City. The system will automatically fill in the identifier, facility, and city fields with the information for the selected waypoint. Using the Touchscreen Controller keyboard to enter alphanumeric data: 1) Select a Datafield Button the Touchscreen Controller for which data entry is required (i.e. waypoint, radio frequency, etc.). A keypad will appear, and the Datafield Button will be highlighted in light blue. 2) Touch the desired letters or numbers, one at a time. 3) If an alphabetic keypad is displayed and numbers are desired, touch the 123... Button. 4) If the numeric keypad is displayed and letter are desired, touch the ABC... Button. 5) To accept the entry, touch the Enter Button. Otherwise, touch the Back, Cancel, or Home Button (on the Button Bar) to exit the datafield without saving the entry.
