EICAS Engine PAge A 320

EICAS typically includes instrumentation of various engine parameters, including for example , temperature values, fuel flow and quantity, oil pressure etc. Typical other aircraft systems monitored by EICAS are for example hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, deicing, and environmental and control surface systems. As EICAS has high connectivity, it provides data acquisition and routing. EICAS is a key function of a  system, which replaces all analog gauges with software-driven electronic displays. Most of the display area is used for navigation and orientation displays, but one display or a section of a display is set aside specifically for EICAS.

The Crew Alerting System (CAS) is used in place of theon older systems. Rather than signaling a system failure by turning on a light behind a translucent button, failures are shown as a list of messages in a small window near the other EICAS indications.
