The
EM2 was designed to replace virtually *every* steam gauge on the panel
but there are a lot of pilots out there that want their steam gauges but also
want the limit & alarm features of a digital monitor and would
install the EM2 to get them. It has the ability to be field
calibrated to most any sensor in use so it can be put in parallel with most
existing installations without replacing anything. I'm tired
of squinting at my LCD engine monitor so the EM2 uses a VFD vacuum florescent
display. (see website for a picture (although the layout has changed
from that pix).

High & Low limits on all engine functions. Alarm light or audible
alarm feed to audio panel.
In
addition to the OAT mentioned above, the following air data is also
displayed.
1.
TAS true airspeed (corrected for temperature &
altitude)
2.
Altitude (up to 32,000 ft)
3.
VSI vertical speed
The
EM2 also functions as a visual interface for the EC2 engine controller.
Shows the MAP table in bargraph form and allows you to edit it.
Makes "holes" in the table very obvious and easy to correct.
For data logging, engine parameters will be output via serial
interface.
Price
not set yet but will be introduced at under $1000 & will include
basic engine sensors.

I forget anything?
