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.

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.

Variable names are stored in a file within the main pmSystems folder. Sysvar.txt. You can use these names
to set specific functions for your hardware.
Runtime Mode
This would be the normal mode of operation in your simulator environment. When pmSystems starts,
Keyboard Commands / Mouse
[Esc] Activates Menu
[Q] Exit/Quit Program
[I] Run Variable Initialization (i.e. initialize variables as defined in the configuration
file)
[F1 - F6] Select View (saves upon exit)
[+] and [-] Zoom in and Out
[Cursor Keys] Move Image (Ctrl accelerates)
[Right-Click]

Pans/Moves image
[Left-Click] Activate switch/button
[MouseWheel] Zoom
Menu Options
The menu allows you to set the aircraft configuration file, the running mode
(Runtime/Development), the graphics options and the cycle speed of the application.
An important option is Slave Mode On/Off. This allows you to run multiple copies of pmSystems over a
network, one always has to be set to Slave Mode Off, otherwise the variables will not be processed. If you
are running only one copy of pmSystems, the Slave mode should be OFF (i.e. Master Mode). The second,
third or any other instance of pmSystems should have this mode set to On. If you have more than one set
to Master mode, then there will be conflicts in the handling of the variables and the switches.
Re-Initialize resets the variables to the states described in the INIT section of the configuration file.

Development Mode
This mode would be used to make changes to the currently selected aircraft configuration file.
Important: when reporting a problem with the software, please make sure it is done when the original file
is used, or report precisely which changes have been made to the configuration file so we can identify it.
Keyboard Commands
[Esc] Activates Menu
