JPI 790 paired with Avidyne IFD 440

We upgraded our JPI EDM 760 to a 790 and no longer have fuel data on the IFD440. For anyone with this combination what are the RS232 settings that you use to get the fuel data to the IFD?

It should be the same setting, but you can scroll through the different fuel settings on the IFD to see. I would probably ask JPI. It is possible that the JPI sends out multiple different options for format or baud rate, and you may need to change that.

Likely your new 790 just needs to be changed to match your old settings from the 760. Depending on the setting on the IFD (Shadin-Fuel or Shadin-fadc) your setting on the EDM should be GPS-C=1 (if Shadin-Fuel is selected) or GPS-C=6 or 7 (if Shadin-fadc is selected). The difference between 6 and 7 is 6 is fuel to waypoint and 7 is to destination.

Thanks. I will give that a try.
