How to change Aquisition Source (AQS) for the Pilot?

[Hiob]

Do you need to go through the MPDs or is there any Hocas binding. I can't figure it out....

E.g. I can't make the CPG LOS my AQS......

Yes, I'm curious about this too

Both the Pilot and CPG change their ACQ sources the same way, via the ACQ (R6) button on either the WPN or TSD pages.

Either crewmember can also set a TRN point ACQ by using the CAQ function on the TSD, or set the ACQ to a point in the database via the COORD page.

This is all outlined in the manual.

Thank you! I somehow assumed, that there must be a quick access button on the HOCAS for such an important function.

The only difference between the crew stations is the CPG must press the Slave button to use the ACQ source every time it is set differently. The pilot is always "slaved" since their is no Slave button in the rear cockpit.
