SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 3-1
3. Basic SkyView Display Operation
After reading this section, you should be familiar with basic SkyView display operation including
how to use joysticks, knobs, and buttons, how to turn displays on and off, how to access and
navigate menus, how to configure the SkyView network, and how to perform Software updates
and other file operations.
The SkyView SV-D700 and SV-D1000/D1000T displays are identical in functionality
and presentation. Other than the Touch features of the SV-D1000T (not present on
the SV-D700 or the SV-D1000), the only difference is in the size and resolution of
the screen.
The SkyView SE SV-D600 and SV-D900 displays are identical in functionality and
presentation. The only difference is in the size and resolution of the screen.
The SkyView SV-HDX800 and SV-HDX1100 displays are identical in functionality and
presentation. The only difference is in the size of the screen.
Screen Synchronization
SkyView is designed to operate as an integrated system. SkyView configurations with more than
one display automatically share and synchronize settings on all displays. In-flight settings such
as baro and bugs are synchronized in real time as they are adjusted. Setup menu items are
synchronized when the user exits the setup menu and also at boot up. Aviation and obstacle
databases are synchronized when they are loaded on any screen if Ethernet is connected.
It is not possible to have displays on the same network that do not share configurations,
settings, and real time items. Even if a unit is off when settings are adjusted, they will be
synchronized when they boot up.
For displays to properly synchronize settings their tail numbers must be the same
and SkyView Network must be configured correctly. See the Network Setup and
Status Section of this manual for information about these required setup steps.
Only one setup menu in the network may be open at once. If you try to open a setup menu on a
display while it is open on another display, you will see OTHER SCREEN IN SETUP on the screen
and thus cannot open the setup menu. There is no "master" in the system; changes made on
any screen in the system will be automatically reflected on all other screens.
Some things are purposefully not synchronized on displays: Software, sensor configuration files
(.sfg), and local display settings. You must ensure that each display is running the appropriate
Software, up-to-date databases, and sensor configuration file. All of these files are available for
download at http://downloads.dynonavionics.com. Also ensure that each display’s local
settings are appropriately configured.
