What will inform the operator if a CMFD OSS is actuated?
- A.
Copilot
- B.
Tone in headset
- C.
Momentary flash on the CMFD screen
- D.
Tone in the headset as well as a momentary flash on the CMFD screen
Correct Answer
C. Momentary flash on the CMFD screenExplanation
When a CMFD OSS (On-Screen Symbol) is actuated, the operator will be informed through a momentary flash on the CMFD (Central Multi-Function Display) screen. This flash serves as a visual indication to the operator that the CMFD OSS has been activated. The other options, such as the copilot or a tone in the headset, do not directly provide information about the actuation of the CMFD OSS.Rate this question:

Which component provides the communication link between all the CMFD and the CPDG
- A.
D-MUX bus
- B.
SFP
- C.
DFP
- D.
UART
Correct Answer
D. UARTExplanation
The UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) provides the communication link between all the CMFD (Centralized Multi-Function Display) and the CPDG (Centralized Processor and Display Generator). UART is a hardware component that allows serial communication between devices. It converts parallel data from the CMFD and CPDG into serial data for transmission and vice versa. This enables the exchange of information and data between the two components, facilitating their communication and coordination.Rate this question:

An OSS function is identified by the
- A.
Mnemonic adjacent to the OSS
- B.
Mnemonic engraved on the OSS face
- C.
Number sequence adjacent to the OSS
- D.
Number sequence engraved on the OSS face
Correct Answer
A. Mnemonic adjacent to the OSSExplanation
The correct answer is "mnemonic adjacent to the OSS." This means that an OSS function is identified by the mnemonic (a short and memorable name) that is located next to the OSS (Open Source Software). The mnemonic helps to describe and label the specific function or feature of the OSS, making it easier for users to understand and navigate.Rate this question:

While there are typically 11 CMFD display formats available to the user, a 12th display format would be possible if
- A.
An ECM pod is loaded onto station 5
- B.
A time compliance technical order would have to be accomplished
- C.
An ECM pod is loaded on stations 3,5, or 7
- D.
The active towed decoy system is installed
Correct Answer
D. The active towed decoy system is installedExplanation
If the active towed decoy system is installed, it would allow for a 12th display format to be possible. This suggests that the active towed decoy system has some impact on the display formats available to the user. The other options mentioned, such as loading an ECM pod or completing a time compliance technical order, do not have an effect on the availability of display formats. Therefore, the correct answer is the active towed decoy system being installed.Rate this question:
