SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 4-27
Configure the serial port on each display appropriately under SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP
> SERIAL PORT SETUP.
Configure the serial port on the transponder appropriately. For a Garmin GTX 327, 330 / ES,
the RS-232 output of the appropriate serial port on the transponder should be set to
REMOTE+TIS.
Gray-Code Transponder Installation
To use SkyView’s altitude encoder functionality with your Gray Code transponder:
Follow the installation instructions in the Gray-Code Transponder Installation Section. If you
have more than one SkyView display, make the same connection(s) to all SkyView displays.
Configure the serial port on each display according to the instructions on page 15-7.
Reference the Serial Port Configuration Section of this guide for serial port configuration
information.
Garmin SL30 COM / NAV Radio
In addition to the NAV radio functions of the SL30, SkyView can display COM radio information
from the SL30 on the top bar of the SkyView display(s) and send COM frequencies to the SL30
(TUNE COM).
Connect SL30 serial RX pin 4 (RxD1) to a SkyView serial TX. If you have more than one
SkyView display, make the same connection to all SkyView displays.
Connect SL30 serial TX pin 5 (TxD1) to a SkyView serial RX. If you have more than one
SkyView display, make the same connection to all SkyView displays.
Ensure there is a shared ground between the SkyView display and the SL30. If you have
more than one SkyView display, make the same connection to all SkyView displays.
Configure the serial port on the SL30 appropriately. On the SL30, the Indicator Head Type
should be set to NONE.
On SkyView

DEVICE > GARMIN / APOLLO SL30. This will automatically set the SERIAL IN/OUT BAUD RATE
