Honeywell Materials License Agreement
The documents and information contained herein ("the Materials") are the proprietary data of Honeywell International Inc. and Honeywell Intellectual Properties Inc (collectively "Honeywell"). These Materials are provided for the exclusive use of Honeywell Service Centers; Honeywell-authorized repair facilities; operators of Honeywell aerospace products subject to an applicable product support agreement, their wholly owned-subsidiaries or a formally designated third party service provider; and direct recipients of Materials from Honeywell's Aerospace Technical Publication Distribution. The terms and conditions of this License Agreement govern your use of these Materials, except to the extent that any terms and conditions of another applicable agreement with Honeywell regarding the operation, maintenance, or repair of Honeywell aerospace products conflict with the terms and conditions of this License Agreement, in which case the terms and conditions of the other agreement will govern. However, this License Agreement will govern in the event of a conflict between its terms and conditions and those of a purchase order or acknowledgement.
1. License Grant – If you are a party to an applicable product support agreement, a Honeywell Service Center
agreement, or an authorized repair facility agreement, Honeywell hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to use these Materials to operate, maintain, or repair Honeywell aerospace products only in accordance with that agreement.
If you are a direct recipient of these Materials from Honeywell's Aerospace Technical Publication Distribution and are not a party to an agreement related to the operation, maintenance or repair of Honeywell aerospace products, Honeywell hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to use these Materials to maintain or repair the subject Honeywell aerospace products only at the facility to which these Materials have been shipped ("the Licensed Facility"). Transfer of the Materials to another facility owned by you is permitted only if the original Licensed Facility retains no copies of the Materials and you provide prior written notice to Honeywell.
2. Rights In Materials – Honeywell retains all rights in these Materials and in any copies thereof that are not expressly granted to you, including all rights in patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. No license to use any Honeywell trademarks or patents is granted under this License Agreement.
3. Confidentiality – You acknowledge that these Materials contain information that is confidential and proprietary to Honeywell. You agree to take all reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of these Materials.
4. Assignment And Transfer – This License Agreement may be assigned to a formally designated service designee or transferred to a subsequent owner or operator of an aircraft containing the subject Honeywell aerospace products. However, the recipient of any such assignment or transfer must assume all of your obligations under this License Agreement. No assignment or transfer shall relieve any party of any obligation that such party then has hereunder.
5. Copies of Materials – Unless you have the express written permission of Honeywell, you may not make or permit making of copies of the Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may make copies of only portions of the Material for your internal use. You agree to return the Materials and any copies thereof to Honeywell upon the request of Honeywell.
6. Term – This License Agreement is effective until terminated as set forth herein. This License Agreement will terminate immediately, without notice from Honeywell, if you fail to comply with any provision of this License Agreement or will terminate simultaneously with the termination or expiration of your applicable product support agreement, authorized repair facility agreement, or your formal designation as a third party service provider. Upon termination of this License Agreement, you will return these Materials to Honeywell without retaining any copies and will have one of your authorized officers certify that all Materials have been returned with no copies retained.
7. Remedies – Honeywell reserves the right to pursue all available remedies and damages resulting from a breach of this License Agreement.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This manual describes the operation of the Honeywell KPA 900 Configuration Module Programmer software version 2.0. This version differs substantially from previous versions. The Operator's Guide, 006-05392-0000 and 006-05392-0001, describes the operation with software versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2.

1.2 WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 2.0

The list that follows describes the new features of the version 2.0 software:
• Compatibility with Windows NT and NT derivatives
• Standard Windows controls
• Ability to change Unit Types without exiting program
• Ability to view and edit ART 2000/2100 Stabilization Calibration
• Ability to thoroughly test CM 2000
• Ability to create log file of all user activity during programming session
• Removes support for EFIS, TCAS, and RMS units.

1.3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The KPA 900 Configuration Module Programmer consists of a KPA 900 hardware programmer and controlling software, which operates on an IBM-compatible personal computer. The programmer is designed to program the CM 2000 configuration module for the ART 2000/2100 weather radar systems and the KRA 405B Radar Altimeter. Previous versions of the KPA 900 supported configuration modules from additional systems that version 2.0 does not support.
The KPA 900 software has selectable configuration options for each particular system. These options may be stored in the Configuration Module and/or stored as a file to disk. User-generated comments may be added to these files. A record of user actions and the status of the operation are captured during the programming operation. This record may be saved as an electronic file. Configuration Management for the programmed modules is accomplished by appropriate archival of these files.

1.4 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

1.4.1 MINIMUM PC REQUIREMENTS

The list that follows describes the minimum requirements for the PC:
• Pentium I Processor
• 90 MHz Clock Speed
• 64 Mb RAM
• Hard drive with 500 kB free space
• Windows 95
• CD ROM Drive
• Parallel port with the following: – 25-pin connector – SPP type or ECP, PS2, Fast Centronics, or EPP types with SPP compatible mode.
NOTE: The KPA 900 is designed to operate with personal computers that have operating
systems of Windows 95 up to Windows XP. The KPA 900 has not been tested with the Windows Vista operating system. The hardware requirements for the KPA 900 are minimal compared to the operating system. If the system performance is acceptable without the KPA 900, the KPA 900 will not overload the system memory or fail to communicate with the CM 2000 because of slow clock speed. If the system performance suffers from lack of memory and frequently has to cache to the hard drive, the KPA 900 may also experience performance problems.

1.4.2 KNOWN LIMITATIONS

1.4.2.1 PARALLEL PORT REQUIREMENT

Version 2.0 of the KPA 900 software is an upgrade to achieve Windows compatibility. The PC industry is moving away from the use of parallel ports and moving toward the use of USB ports. The KPA 900 is not compatible with the USB port. It has not been tested with a USB port to parallel port adapter, and Honeywell does not expect that it will work with one. In order to be USB compliant, the programmer hardware (and to some degree, the software) will need major redesign, which will cause an additional cost for the product. When the demand is great enough, Honeywell will respond with an upgrade.
