What I know is the the NAV set produces a rounded off square wave at either 30HZ or 300HZ. The OBS knob then returns two signals representing the sine and the cosine of the position. So for example sine of 90 degrees is 1 and cos is zero, sine of 270 degrees is -1 and cos is still 0 What I don't know is whether the returning signals go negative (the older CDIs use transformer technology so could easily produce negative voltage) or whether they are referenced to the mid point of the excitation signal and whether the excitation signal itself goes negative or it just varies between 0 and the reference voltage. Any help or pointers to docs appreciated - google has failed me.

See the attached pdf. Is it safe to eliminate the Schottky diode in the lower left corner? I want to remove the diode because it is one more failure point and I do not know if it can handle the full load of the main bus, perhaps as much as 25 or 30 amps. The concern is a short in the alternator or starter circuit (Or is this a remote possibility?) with no way to isolate it without stopping the electrically dependent engine. Thanks for any advice.
