I know it's getting power at least because when I plug it in there are 2 buttons that toggle lights on, and a 3 position switch that does the same.

On the device itself it says the following (brackets are just placeholders)
[
Weapons Control System Mark II
FSN AR/C NAV023-12
MEETS MIL. E-5400
REV. CODE C-17.031

Thrustmaster
Made in the USA
]

Then it has a list of approved planes on it.
I'm not really sure where I got this thing from, I've had it for ages, never used it.
