Help .. GTX 345 config question

[RogerT]

We're putting a GTX 345 in the STOL 750 we're building. I'm looking for configuration
parameters so it recognizes the GAE 12 Altitude Encoder. It's standalone and not
part of a glass panel. So far Garmin wouldn't help.
Thanks

Thanks, TiltOn
Supposedly the GAE12 was calibrated by SteinAir before they sent it. I'm looking
for the configuration settings for a standalone 345 with GAE12 installed. Tried
Garmin and they were zero help. I'll try SteinAir when they open.

What is not configured correctly, is the unit complaining about something? If they calibrated the GAE-12, I presume they set the couple configuration settings that were necessary, and that should "just work" when it's connected to your 345. (You'd still need to configure other things, such as your flight ID, ICAO identifier, etc, but I'd presume the settings to use the encoder would have been set when they did the calibration). Is the unit complaining about no config module? If so, I'd double check that you put the pins in the right spots. Do you have the install tool software so that you can connect to the GTX via USB and access the configuration that way, or are you having to do it all through the front panel?

I’m using the front panel. Not seeing any errors. Just flat lines where pressure altitude should be. Garmin’s help has been non existent. Told me to hire an A&P. Frustrating when you consider we installed, wired and configured a twin display G3X system in the VTwin we built.

Congrats on that huge install in the past. Did you resolve the issue with the GAE configuration settings?
