SkyView Display Installation and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 4-21
If you see a screen similar to the one in Figure 35, simply press the button labeled UPDATE to
update the Software running on the equipment in the SkyView network.
To check on SkyView network status, enter the NETWORK STATUS… Menu in the Network
Setup Menu (SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SKYVIEW NETWORK SETUP > NETWORK
STATUS…).
The Network Status Page shows all displays, modules, servos, and other Dynon Avionics
products installed on the SkyView network via the D9 SkyView Network connectors. This
includes the following devices: SV-D700 / SV-D1000 / SV-D1000T displays (SkyView) or SV-D600
/ SV-D900 displays (SkyView SE), SV-ADAHRS-200/201 modules, SV-EMS-220/221 modules, SV-
ARINC-429 modules (not supported in SkyView SE), SV-COM-PANEL for SV-COM-C25 and SV-
COM-X83 COM radios, SV-AP-PANEL (not supported in SkyView SE) / SV-KNOB-PANEL control
panels, and Dynon Avionics Autopilot Servos. It does NOT include any non-Dynon Avionics
devices or any of the following Dynon Avionics devices that connect via a method other than
SkyView Network: SV-XPNDR-261/262 transponders, SV-ADSB-470 ADS-B receiver (not
supported in SkyView SE), SV-GPS-250/2020 GPS receiver, OAT(s), or individual engine sensors.
SkyView Network has redundancy and error detection features which allow it to detect and
annunciate module and SkyView Network wiring faults. In the event that SkyView reports a
problem with an ADAHRS, EMS module, autopilot servo, or a problem with the “standby
network”, this NETWORK STATUS page will provide more information about the nature of the
problem.
Ethernet Connection
SkyView systems containing more than one display should ideally have their Ethernet ports
connected together for best operation. See the SkyView System Construction section in this
manual for further information about Ethernet.
Internal Time Keeping
Zulu/GMT time is initially obtained from a GPS source. Time is displayed as “--:--:--“until a GPS
fix is received. When a display is turned off, a connected SV-BAT-320 backup battery enables
the display to retain accurate time. To display time, a SkyView display that is not connected to a
SV-BAT-320 must obtain a GPS fix each time it is powered on.
RS-232 Serial Devices
RS-232 serial communication to non-Dynon Avionics devices and interfacing of other devices in
general can be involved and detailed. This installation guide is intended to provide general
installation advice for the most common devices and situations.
A SkyView display includes five general purpose RS-232 serial ports available for use with
compatible equipment. Serial port transmit (TX) and receive (RX) wire sets are twisted together.
Connected RS-232 serial devices must share a common power ground with the SkyView
display(s).
