> I know this may be a bit too specific, but I'm not having any luck so far.
>
> I am running the GX60, and in the installation manual, there's a whole
> list of serial formats for navigation, messages and what not. There is
> the capability to read the Shadin fuel airdata, and they have documented
> the current fuel flow and fuel consumed messages.
>
> I called Garmin-AT today and asked the engineer how the GX60 knows how
> much fuel is on board.  If the Shadin is there, the GX60 sends it a
> message, asking for total fuel on board.  The Shadin then replies with
> total fuel on board.  If the Shadin is not there, but the fuel airdata
> serial stream is configured via the front panel, then the GX60 will
> display on the front panel asking the pilot how much fuel is on board.
>
> So far so good.  So I ask the engineer if he has any documentation on
> this protocol.  Nothing he can send me, is what he said.  I hate Garmin.
>
> Does anyone know where I can find the protocols for the GX60? There's a
> lot of messages that are not documented that I might be interested in,
> but for now, I would really like to know what the Shadin fuel on board
> response message is.  I've tried finding the Shadin protocols, and can't
> find anything there either.
