Install pmSystems on a client PC and run it for the first time. Send in the registration code to project
magenta and a unlock code will be sent to you. Always send to register@projectmagenta.com to ensure
fastest response time to your code requests.
Step 2. pmSystems Check Connections
Once registered, make sure it is connected to MSFS using Peter Dowson’s WideFS and FSUIPC. (see GC
set-up sections of this manual for WideFS set-up and or Peter Dowson’s documentation. Pmsystems needs
to be connected to MSFS for it to work.
Step 3. pmSystems Program Options
Upon first boot-up, the default 737 a/c overhead systems panel will appear full screen showing the entire
panel. Depending on how good your graphics card driver is, there are a number of options by pressing the
SC key that you can change. Pressing the ESC brings up the user menu.
Project Magenta Revision: 12 March-08

Select system File - Aircraft type Panel
Development Mode – Use this advanced mode for setting hardware, programming logics and adjusting
panel layouts (you need to develop your own knowledge in this area, this is advanced usage of pmsystems,
contact Project Magenta support for further information.)
Font Quality - Sets to a High or Lower value
Font Smoothing via Polygons – ON/OFF (Some graphics cards may require that this setting is OFF)
Bitmap Smoothing - ON/OFF (Some graphics cards may require that this setting is OFF)
Smooth Scrolling ON / OFF - Scroll Smooth simply makes the scrolling action smooth rather than in steps
when panning and zooming into the panel.
Enable Keyboard Handling – Enables the use of a keyboard or Keyboard Encoder for certain types of
application (for example the IRS SET position keyboard on the Aft overhead of the 737 panel)
Slave Mode - Allows you to run x2 copies of PMsystems, one as a master and one as a slave – perhaps for
an instructor. Normally this should be set OFF if there is no Master running otherwise in slave mode it will
not communicate with MSFS.
Cycle Time - Various program timing options to set the timing of processing logics and cycle times of
hardware.
Phidgets Menu – Enables direct setting and set-up of Phidget Controller cards. For all functions you need to
be in development mode.
Flight Illusion – Enables direct communication and set-up of Flight Illusion overhead panel gauges.
The Menu functions of the panel will be updated, these are the basic functions. More functions may be
added. For example, when connecting specific I/O card hardware you might find options under the
Hardware menu and further sub options to select and assign specific hardware.
Start Dark Cold – Forces pmsystems to set everything to a cold dark systems cockpit state. If hardware is
connected, pmsystem (depending on which type of hardware) will attempt to poll the switch states. The
Start Cold Dark option should not be used if you are using hardware as input devices.
Pm systems General
To exit the Menu either press ESC again or select the EXIT txt with the mouse
To exit the program press the “Q” key.

pmSystems Navigating around the panel
You can zoom into areas of the panel by pressing the
+ - keys on the numeric keypad. You can scroll across
it by either using your RIGHT CLICK & hold your
mouse or by the arrow keys.
PMsystems is designed to be used both as a software
point and click interface and also to be connected to
custom overhead / simulator hardware. It performs
both types of operation. For now we are treating
pmSystems as a pure software interface with MSFS to
get us started. If you did have dedicated hardware
connected and running, the primary goal of pmSystems would be to provide the logics, and be a visual
reference when testing those logics against your hardware. Once your hardware was up and running,
pmSystems could reside on the network as a background program, or perhaps as part of information
available to an instructor in training scenarios on a client PC.
pmSystems Runtime & Development Mode
From the user option Menu, by selecting Development Mode, enables a sub menu at the bottom of the
pmsystems screen. In development you can call up text menus and directly edit System Logics, assign I/O
hardware to specific variable names in pmsystems.
pmSystems Finding Variable Names
Select Show Variable Name from the user interface. The mouse pointer over a specific switch or output and
the name of the viable together with the offset and value will be shown.
Project Magenta Revision: 12 March-08

Variable names are stored in a file within the main pmSystems folder. Sysvar.txt. You can use these names
