The IPADS software can be operated in emulator mode for training purposes on an IPADS CDU, with or without a
CPNU, or on a standard IBM Personal Computer (PC)-compatible machine. This paragraph describes operation
without CPNU. In emulator mode the CDU does not communicate to, or use the CPNU. See paragraph 3-5 for
operation in training mode with a complete IPADS.
NOTE
IPADS indicates it is in one of the two training modes by displaying the
word TRAIN on the top line as shown in figure 3-4. In addition, the top line
font will be white, when in a training mode. In normal operations, the top
line font will be amber, and the word TRAIN will not be displayed.
Points created using the training modes will not be available in normal
operation mode, and vice versa. This is done to ensure that operational data
is not corrupted with training data.
Switching from normal operation mode to training modes requires operator
confirmation. Upon confirmation, when using IPADS, the CDU will then be
shut down. Recycle power using the BCU OUTPUT switch.
When using a PC, the PC will not be shutdown, but the IPADS emulator
will be exited. The operator must then re-start the emulator. All other
operations described below operate the same on a PC or CDU.
When changing from training modes to normal operation mode the
time/date will not restore to the normal operation mode.
a.
When starting IPADS, the IPADS MODE screen is displayed with function keys F1-OPERNL, F2-TRAIN,
F3-EMULAT, F4-ZUPT. If the IPADS MODE screen does not display when IPADS is turned on, refer to
b.
To access the emulator press F3 "PRESS F3 FOR TRAINING MODE USING EMULATOR (NO
CPNU)."
c.
IPADS requires shutdown to change modes. When prompted, press Y to confirm shutdown or press any
other key to cancel.
