over the years always showing a new appearance.
- Large 2.4 inch TFT display, 320x240 Pixels, 1000 nits,
antiglare surface, sunlight readable, wide temperature
range.

Omnia57 Family System Overview
1.3 INTERCONNECTION ABILITY
All the instruments of the Omnia57 family can be
connected together to form a communication network,
making some data exchange operations simpler.
The software update of a Omnia57 instrument connected
in group takes place through the CAN bus communication
with the instrument that has the USB pen drive connected.
This means that the USB connection is made to a single
instrument, and the information will be forwarded via CAN
bus to or from all the others in the group.
The configuration data and the data logger of the
interconnected instruments are saved or restored via CAN
bus on the same USB pen drive. A single brightness sensor
can provide information to all the connected instruments
to automatically adjust the backlight intensity.
Up to 16 Omnia57 can be connected together through
the CAN 1 bus.

1.4 EASY SOFTWARE UPDATE
The user can download any new firmware, when available,
from Flybox website, connect a USB pen drive to the
instrument and freely update it with the last features.
With one USB connection only, it will be possible to update
every instrument installed in the panel. If more Omnia57
are installed and properly connected, they will search for
the right firmware through the CAN bus.
1.5 EASY DATALOG SAVING
Easy logging of the data for debug purpose. If needed,
each Omnia57 unit can save a last flight log on the USB
pen drive. The user can then send the log via e-mail to
Flybox support for a help/support request.

Omnia57 Family System Overview
All the Omnia57 instruments have the following common
interfaces:
2 separate CAN BUS: they can be used to connect the
Omnia57 instruments together, to interface them with
other Flybox instruments or with external devices like
Engines ECUs or new devices that will be possible
developed in the future.
2 RS232 serial ports: used to connect the Omnia57
instruments to an external GPS (when applicable). This
feature appears in some models only.
1 Sensor Light Input: if connected, it allows the automatic
light intensity adjustment, one sensor for all the
instruments.
2 Power outputs for sensors: one 12 V 500mA@60°C
and the other 5 V 350 mA@60°C, both protected from
short circuit.
1 Alarm output: all the Omnia57 instruments can activate
an external warning device like a lamp or a small relay
through this NPN transistor output.
1.6 INTERFACES
If the current on one of the
outputs is too high, a caution
message will appear.
Caution!
