AXIOM MultiFunction Displays are designed to integrate directly with current generation Evolution autopilots through the STng network and will enable control of the autopilot directly from the AXIOM screen, provided the system is networked via STng. This enables the user to construct a route built up of waypoints and instruct the Evolution autopilot to follow this route, using the AXIOM screen.
Legacy autopilots - ie all non-Evolution systems, (including SPX systems which are connected to the network via STng and may have an i70/ i70r control unit) will not be able to be directly controlled from the AXIOM displays. However, you can still create a route or a single waypoint GOTO on the AXIOM display and select the FOLLOW/ GOTO option.
If you want the Autopilot to follow that route - you will need to engage AUTO on the legacy autopilot control unit, (for example i70/p70/ ST6002) and then select TRACK mode, after you have acknowledged the FOLLOW TRACK alarm, the autopilot will then follow the route on the AXIOM to the target waypoint.
