User-Friendly Wiring Manuals From Gulfstream

Gulfstream Aerospace has created Circuit Flash, a software enhancement for electronic manuals that makes it easier for aircraft technicians to interpret detailed wiring diagrams. Aircraft technicians access electronic wiring-diagram manuals using laptops that typically have 14-inch screens. Tracking long wire paths on a laptop computer screen can be problematic because the diagram image must be moved around on the screen to visually track the line that represents the wire path. With Circuit Flash, the wire path, which is depicted in black, is overlaid with red when a technician moves the cursor onto the wire and clicks. So in effect, the desired wire path, which appears as a red line, stands out in a field of black lines.
