SkyView Display Installation and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 4-37
 GPS devices provide GPS position and navigational information. These devices are generally
"moving maps" that depict airports, airspaces, etc., and can generate flight plans. They
provide source data for the moving map, HSI, autopilot, synthetic vision, and the clock in
the Top Bar. An example GPS device is a Garmin X96.
 NAV devices provide radio-based navigational information from a VOR or ILS. They provide
source data for the HSI and autopilot. SkyView currently supports only the Garmin SL30 NAV
Radio.
 POS devices provide only positional information. These are generally simple GPS receivers
which cannot do flight planning. They provide source data for the moving map, synthetic
vision, and the clock in the Top Bar. Note that a POS device does not provide any data for
the HSI and will not appear in the HSI NAVSRC rotation. An example POS device is the Dynon
Avionics SV-GPS-250/2020.
Input Function Considerations and Priorities
SkyView’s Moving Map Page uses POS and GPS sources for its data. Regardless of the number
of data sources in your system, this page prioritizes these sources and fails over to them as
follows:
POS 1 GPS 1GPS 2GPS 3GPS 4POS 2POS 3POS 4
For example, if your system has one SV-GPS-2020 configured as POS 1 and a Garmin 396
configured as GPS 1, the Moving Map will always use the SV-GPS-2020 as its primary data
source. If the SV-GPS-2020 fails or you configure its input function to NONE, the Moving Map
Page will use the Garmin 396 (or other GPS source) configured as GPS 1 as its primary data
source.
The SkyView HSI uses GPS and NAV sources for its overlays and the user must choose the
source during operation.
SkyView’s internal Navigation Mapping System can generate navigation
information which can be displayed on the HSI. The Navigation Mapping System
requires GPS data, which is sourced from the active (highest priority in the above
list) POS or GPS source. Regardless of what source is being used for position
information, the navigation provided by the Navigation Mapping System is always
the SKYVIEW source on the HSI.
Baud Rate
Set this to match the baud rate of the serial device that is connected to the serial port. SkyView
supports the following baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115,200.
Note that if you use a serial port for a split function (e.g., GPS in and altitude encoder out), the
input and output devices must use the same baud rate.
Output Device
Set output device to the data format the serial device should expect from the SkyView display
(e.g., ICARUS (10ft)).
