the aircraft, choose one to install it onto and provide information for only that display.
Once any display is licensed, all connected displays in the Aircraft can use the VP-X
features.
2. An SV-VPX-290 VP-X License may be purchased from Dynon Avionics or any authorized
Dynon Avionics dealer. This certificate can be redeemed for a license code that can be
entered in SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > LICENSE > LICENSE CODE. To redeem
a certificate simply follow the instructions on the certificate itself. Similar to the above,
you will need to redeem your certificate by visiting http://license.dynonavionics.com
with your SkyView Classic display model and serial number ready. Alternatively, you can
call Dynon Avionics directly at 425-402-0433 to redeem a certificate.
VP-X SkyView Classic Display Settings
Serial Port Setup
Before the VP-X SETUP menu can be accessed, the SkyView Classic system must be
licensed to use the VP-X features. See the section above for how to obtain and
install a SV-VPX-290 license.
To configure your SkyView Classic displays’ serial ports to work with the VP-X:
Go to SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SERIAL PORT SETUP.
Navigate to the serial port that you physically connected the VP=X module to in the
previous steps.
Select VP-X. Note that other fields are automatically configured and cannot be changed.
Press ACCEPT.
Exit SETUP. Repeat on any other displays on your SkyView Classic system.
VP-X Settings
Most VP-X setup – such as setting circuit breaker limits - is NOT done via SkyView Classic, but
instead via a Windows-based application called VP-X Configurator. See your VP-X
documentation for full VP-X installation and setup information.
Though the VP-X’s trim and flaps calibrations are not used by SkyView Classic,
leaving any of the VP-X trim or flaps end points or neutral positions to “0” in the
VP-X Configuration program will cause SkyView Classic’s trim or flaps indications
to not display properly. To avoid this, set all of the trim and flaps end points and
neutral points to “1” in the VP-X Configurator.
The VP-X settings in the SETUP MENU > VP-X SETUP menu mainly concern how information
from the VP-X is displayed in SkyView Classic:
MAIN BATTERY WARNINGS: Sets the main battery voltage levels at which caution and
warning indications are provided visually on the VP-X page.
