Does PCAS interface with other systems (such as moving maps or MFDs)?

PCAS XRX uses an RS-232 protocol to export the traffic information. Third-party systems, such as ControlVision’s AnywhereMap, a PDA-based moving map solution, and True Flight’s Flight Cheetah, use this information to overlay traffic onto their systems. Many other applications are possible and are currently in development. The data is available to any system with the ability to interface through RS-232 and read the data.

When interfaced with an external system, XRX provides a com menu for selecting the proper protocol for that system. When an external system is being used, the traffic screen is blanked to allow for greater data processing. Buttons function normally during this time.
