HOME MENU
Brightness Volume/On/Off Cursor Value/Enter
Figure 1 User Control Module
6.1 ARCHITECTURE
The human interface is organized into display pages. Each display page provides the operator the ability
to view specific information, or perform some specific task(s). The operator navigates from page to
page by pressing keys, turning knobs, etc. Navigation can be achieved either through the touchscreen
or through keys/knobs/push-button actions. Display pages are organized in a tree structure, rooted at
the normal operation page. All features are three (3) actions or less from the normal opera tion page.
Figure 2 shows the tree structure of the display pages identified in this document.

6.2 POWER ON
If aircraft power is removed while the PMR is in operation, the PMR shall automatically turn on upon
reapplication of aircraft power. If the PMR is not in operation (turned off) when aircraft power is
removed, the PMR shall remain off when aircraft power is restored, and shall only turn on when an
operator presses the “ON” button.
Upon power up, the PMR shall display a “boot” screen while system initialization is taking place. This
should take less than 30 seconds, which is the amount of time specified for the transceiver modules to
come up fully. Figure 3 depicts the boot screen. Note the software part number displayed near the
bottom of the screen. In addition, the hardware model number and firmware number shall be displayed.

The operator shall be able to turn the PMR off by pressing and holding the “ON” button. While the “ON”
button is being held down, the PMR shall do the following:
1. Go to full brightness.
2. Display the System Shutdown screen depicted in Figure 6.
3. Count down the seconds remaining until system turns off from 3 to 0.
4. When the count hits 0, power off.
If the operator releases the “ON” button prior to 3 seconds elapsing, the display shall return its previous
state.

6.4 DISPLAY PAGES
The following sections flesh out each of the display pages identified in Figure 2. The information
required to display on each page is given along with known button/knob event requirements. A picture
showing the desired page layout is also provided. Due to the significant differences in aspect ratio
between the documentation system and the actual hardware’s display, some deviation in f onts, colors,
and information placement is expected, and permissible, in the implementation.

6.4.1.1 Layout
ORMAL OPERATION PAGE
This page is the primary operational page of the PMR. This page shall be the first operational page
displayed after system boot. Figure 7 depicts the desired layout for this page when the maximum 5
transceivers are available.

Figure 8 Normal Operation Page Regions
The System-Dashboard region contains a summary of the operating state of all the transceivers installed
in the system. The PMR supports from 1 to 3 internal transceivers and 0 to 2 external transceivers. This
region shall be split into sub-regions, one for each transceiver. These sub-regions are termed a
Dashboard-View. Details of the contents of the Dashboard-View are given elsewhere in this document.
The Active-Transceiver region contains detailed information on the active transceiver. The active
transceiver is the one that the operator will interact with. This region of the display is termed an ActiveTransceiver-View. All transceiver specific functions are accessed via the Active-Transceiver-View.
Details of the contents of the Active-Transceiver-View are given elsewhere in this document.

Page 12 of 85
A transceiver shall be made active by pressing its Dashboard-View, either by direct touch or by
cursor/value/enter. Any of the installed transceivers shall be selectable as the active transceiver, but
only one transceiver shall be active at any given time.
When a transceiver is made active, it shall become the active transmitter for its PTT group. In singlemicrophone installations (i.e. a single PTT group), the active transceiver shall transmit when the PTT is
asserted. In multiple-microphone installations (i.e. two or more PTT groups), the active transceiver for
the PTT group shall transmit when the PTT for the group is asserted.
6.4.1.2 Navigation
To Home page shall be navigable by both touch and cursor/value. The screen element that the operator
is currently interacting with shall be indicated by a rectangle drawn around the element. This rectangle
is termed the focus rectangle. Only one screen element shall be focused at any given time. After three
(3) seconds of inactivity, the focus rectangle shall become invisible to avoid screen clutter. The gold
boxes (some rounded) in Figure 9 show the screen elements that shall be focusable.
Touching an element gives it the focus. Rotating the cursor knob clockwise shall move the focus
rectangle in a generally circular, left-to-right, top-to-bottom fashion. The red arrows in Figure 9 depict
the motion of the focus rectangle as the cursor knob is turned clockwise. Turning the cursor knob
counterclockwise shall move the focus rectangle in the reverse order of clockwise rotation. If the focus
rectangle is invisible due to inactivity, the first turn of the cursor knob shall make the focus rectangle
visible, but shall not move it from its previous location.
Figure 9 Normal Operation Page Navigation
6.4.1.3 Dashboard-View
The Dashboard-View contains a summary of the operating state of a transceiver . Its purpose is to keep
the operator informed about the state of non-active transceivers. This view contains only summary
information, such as the active channel and indications of mode. The Dashboard-View for an internal
transceiver is depicted in Figure 10. The Dashboard-View for an external transceiver is depicted in
Figure 11.

Once the operator has confirmed the operation, the active transceiver shall begin the OTAR operation.
The display shall give feedback to the operator on the progress of the OTAR operation. At a minimum,
“OTAR in progress” and “OTAR completed” or “OTAR failed” status messages shall be displayed. The
status messages shall be displayed in the screen area normally used to display the active and standby
channel information. Figure 23 depicts a typical OTAR status display.
While the OTAR status is “OTAR in progress” the STOP button shall be enabled. If the oper ator presses
the STOP button the OTAR cancel confirmation dialog shall be displayed, as depicted in Figure 24. This
dialog functions identically to the OTAR start confirmation dialog. If the operator chooses to cancel the
OTAR, then the OTAR operation shall be aborted and normal operation resumed. If the operator
chooses to continue with the OTAR operation, the display shall resume to where it was prior to the STOP
button being pressed. While an OTAR is in progress, no transceiver functions shall be available other
than to cancel the OTAR in progress.
While the OTAR status is “OTAR completed” or “OTAR failed” the OK button shall be enabled. The
