Vertical Power VP-X Integration and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 13-3
To ensure reliable serial communications between the VP-X and SkyView Classic, connect a wire
from VP-X Connector J1, Pin 21 to the same grounding point used by SkyView Classic display’s
37-pin connector, Pin 21 and Pin 22 (twisted Black wires).
License Information
VP-X features are enabled on your SkyView Classic system by purchasing and installing an SV-
VPX-290 VP-X License. Only one SV-VPX-290 VP-X License is needed in a SkyView Classic system,
no matter how many displays are attached. That license is applied to only one display, but that
display stores the license information for the entire system. In normal use, license information
is shared with all displays connected via SkyView Network to allow the VP-X features to be
operated on any display in the system.
Checking License Status
To check whether a SkyView Classic system is licensed to use the VP-X Software features, go to
SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > LICENSE, and look at the status of the Vertical Power
line. Possible license statuses include:
LICENSED (THIS DISPLAY): A SV-VPX-290 VP-X License has been installed, enabling the use of
VP-X features. This SkyView Classic display stores the license information and also allows
other displays in the aircraft to access the VP-X features.
LICENSED - CONNECTED DISPLAY ONLINE: The SkyView Classic system is licensed to use the
VP-X features. This SkyView Classic display is currently connected to a licensed display.
LICENSED DISPLAY OFFLINE - XX HOURS REMAIN The SkyView Classic system is licensed to
use the VP-X features. However, the SkyView Classic display that actually stores the license
information is not currently connected. When this happens, the VP-X features will continue
to be accessible for 30 flight hours beyond when the SkyView Classic display that actually
stores the license information was last connected to the SkyView Classic system. Once the
SkyView Classic display that actually stores the license information, this timer is cleared.
NO LICENSE: None of the SkyView Classic displays in the SkyView Classic system have a SV-
VPX-290 License installed.
Purchasing and Installing a SV-VPX-290 License
Display of, and control of, VP-X is not supported in SkyView SE or SkyView HDX (as of Software
v15.0). If you intend to install and use SkyView SE or SkyView HDX, do not purchase and install a
VP-X or an SV-VPX-290 software license.
An SV-VPX-290 License can be purchased and applied to your system in one of two ways:
1. Call Dynon Avionics directly at 425-402-0433 with your SkyView Classic display model
(SV-D700, SV-D1000, or SV-D1000T) and serial number (as displayed on the case sticker,
or in SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > DISPLAY HARDWARE INFORMATION). An
SV-VPX-290 License is can be purchased for the entire aircraft you wish to enable the
VP-X features on. This six-character License Code is then entered in SETUP MENU >
LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > LICENSE > LICENSE CODE. If you have more than one display in
