Can this be done?
Hi guys,
Im just wondering if there is a way either through the Glass cockpit software or pmsystems to get the displays to blank or go dim and then brighten back to normal after engine start and the generators switch from apu to engine gennys? This happens on the 767.

It actually happens lots in most aircraft, especially when the start switch is thrown.
It would be a Neat effect, I would connect your monitor power supplies through relays attached to your start buttons. That would work excellent.

Thanks Trevor, great idea. It would be really neat if the software could do it.

You can do this programming in pmSystems (in the logic file). Just set the displays to dim or turn off (find the appropriate offsets in the PM documentation) when the engine switches (again, look for offsets) are actuated.

AS far as I remember, there is a key command in the GC menu or cfg that allows displays to shut off and they come back progressively on.
Linking that to engine start should be doable...Jackpilot

Well, I would like to know how to make the displays turn OFF once the Avionics Master Switch is turned OFF. When I turn ON the BATT and then the MASTER AVION switch, the displays spring to life. Turning them off only turns OFF the GF166 and the reception of ATC/ILS/Navaid data on the displays.
Thanks,

Sorry, but this looks like last century solution...
I don't know what PM you have, but PM regional Jet nicely goes from dim to off and from off to brighten simply via Master Avionic Switch. All you have to do is write 0 or 1 to 0x2E80 offset.
Works great, looks nice and I think works better than playing with power supplies, relais and all that "hardcore" stuff.
