Hi Chris,

I am surprised that you could not get data on device.

I guess they have some proprietary algorithms for calculating fuel use based upon the sensor package.

Were you able to get any data on the sensors? They might tell you more about what they do in the software.

Hi Cris,

I can't recall any microcontrollers in PGA format, probably because I guess it is an expensive package and in aviation maybe this is an extremely reliable package.

Is there a PROM window on it, underneath the label? If so, a magnifying glass or microscope may reveal some information, since the manufacturer's name may be written on the silicon.

Also I wonder what the yellow label (circle with three arrows pointing inward) means, it is in a couple of places in your photographs.
