    Diode (all types, including LED), thyristor "D" is preferred for various types of diodes DL: Delay line: DN: Diode network: may be simplified to "D" for diode DS: Display, general light source, lamp, signal light: F: Fuse: FB: Ferrite bead: sometimes changed to "L" for inductor, though "E" was used in the currently inactive standard IEEE 315 ...

  3. Annunciator panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annunciator_panel

    An annunciator panel, also known in some aircraft as the Centralized Warning Panel (CWP) or Caution Advisory Panel (CAP), is a group of lights used as a central indicator of status of equipment or systems in an aircraft, industrial process, building or other installation. Usually, the annunciator panel includes a main warning lamp or audible ...

    The cockpit of a Slingsby T-67 Firefly two-seat light airplane.The flight instruments are visible on the left of the instrument panel. Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with data about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, heading and much more other crucial information in flight.

    A de-clutter mode activates automatically when circumstances require the pilot's attention for a specific item. For example, if the aircraft pitches up or down beyond a specified limit—usually 30 to 60 degrees—the attitude indicator de-clutters other items from sight until the pilot brings the pitch to an acceptable level.

  6. Attitude and heading reference system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_and_heading...

    An attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) consists of sensors on three axes that provide attitude information for aircraft, including roll, pitch, and yaw.These are sometimes referred to as MARG (Magnetic, Angular Rate, and Gravity) [1] sensors and consist of either solid-state or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiducial_marker

    Fiducial marker for a chip to the left and the whole PCB beneath. In printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, fiducial marks, also known as circuit pattern recognition marks, allow SMT placement equipment to accurately locate and place parts on boards. These devices locate the circuit pattern by providing common measurable points.

    Switch on time: LEDs light up extremely quickly. A typical red indicator LED achieves full brightness in under a microsecond. [69] LEDs used in communications devices can have even faster response times. Focus: The solid package of the LED can be designed to focus its light. Incandescent and fluorescent sources often require an external ...
