An integrated avionics control and display arrangement is disclosed which combines symbol generation, display and mission processing, and multiplex bus control in a single processor configuration. The arrangement features “home”pages for primary parameter display with selectable additional pages available in conjunction with operator-operable keys disposed around the display. A wide variety of control signals compatible with the multiplex bus format are integrated directly with the bus, and a wide variety of non-compatible signals are integrated with the bus through remote terminal units which are arranged in a redundant configuration for system failure survivability and enhanced interconnect wiring economy.
