The display zones of the Ct and Dt multifunction screens are managed by a management system referred to as the "graphic server"
Each information group is divided into applications
- Trip computer
- Radiotelephony
- Navigation
Each application transmits information to the graphic server
The graphic server decides which information should be taken into account and defines its display zone
The user activates an application, the graphic server allocates the display resource to it and also the sound resource if required
NoteRandom events such as the dialogue boxes, warning messages, may result in the appearance of new display zones
