Computer Annunciation Matrix
A general purpose computer fail detection (GPC Fail) will display a class 2 GPC Fault message with illumination of the Master Alarm. The GPC Status Matrix, sometimes referred to as the Computer Annunciation Matrix (CAM), lights to indicate failure votes; any time a yellow matrix light is illuminated, the GPC caution and warning light on panel F7 also lights.
