In an Arinc 429 Word label-representing heading is 320, this is represented in bits 1- 8 as

  • 01011001.
  • 00001011.
  • 01101000.

320 should be converted to octal and reversed because MSB transfered first.

A load of 1's and O's is hardly Octal!

JD2016, you think something is wrong here?

Yes! If as you say, 320 should be converted to Octal, then 320 in octal is 500. A string of 1's and 0's is obviously Binary. I understood that an ARINC 429 word was written in Binary anyway. See EHJ Pallett - Aircraft Instruments & Integrated Systems - 3rd Edition Page 159 - Figure 6.4.

Not like this. In ARINC429 label is binary coded octal (8 bits):
000 010 11 = 0 2 3
You have to divide label by 3 and 3 and 2 bits. And then convert each set to octal.
Inversed because usually arinc429 word is represented in reverse order because label is transmitter MSB first but data LSB first. Question is a little bit miss-worded but still the only possible option is B.
Very detailed explanation here: aviftech.com/files/2213/6387/8354/ARI...

Thanks.
It really is designed to confuse!
