EDM 830 Question

[Jay Bird]

Anyone know what the “F” in the top right corner means?  I flew the plane today for the first time in almost 3 months; I can’t say I ever remember seeing this before.

I believe the “F” is indicating the unit is in the Fuel Flow scan mode as compared to A=All, T=EGT

That’s what I thought but the “F” is there regardless of the switch position, EGT, ALL or Fuel. Also the scan is acting a bit twitchy, it is cycling much faster that it used to. I set it to 9 second intervals but it did not make a difference. Going to give them a call on Monday.

JPI sent me the most current version of their software for the unit which was released in May of 2022. Appears to have fixed the glitch. If anyone wants the software update send me PM and I'll gladly share the files. From what I can tell the auto-dimming is much better and the EGT temps are indicated under the CHTs just above the bar graphs.  From my original pictures, you can see only the CHTs were depicted above the bar graph.

Is that correct?  I think it's just a display option, if you choose 5 tape displays on the right, you get a EGT and CHT above each cylinder (this is what I use), but if you choose 10 tape displays, it looks like your image above.

I bought my 830 in 2020, so it's not the newest software

I bought my 830 new in April of 2021 directly from JPI. Technically my avionics shop bought it directly from JPI but long story short the software was circa 2017. So my unit must have been new old stock. The software they sent me is dated May of 2022 in the code language and it does indeed have ECT and CHT displaced with 10 linear gauges displayed as well, have a look.
