SkyView Display Installation and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 4-39
xx% Brightness Sensor Value – There are four percent brightness sensor values: 25%, 50%,
75% and 100%. These values are correlated to a user-specified brightness sensor value,
which are to the right of the percent value. These percentages along with the minimum
brightness sensor value (explained below) form the calibration points for the backlight
management profile. When the current brightness sensor value matches one of these
points, the target backlight level is adjusted to its matching percentage. When the current
brightness sensor value is in between these points, the display interpolates between the
points and calculates an appropriate target backlight level. These values must be set by the
user.
MINIMUM BRIGHTNESS SENSOR VALUE – This is an integer value ranging from 0 to 999 that
represents the smallest amount of light that is expected to be sensed by the integrated light
sensor. This must be set by the user.
RESET TO DYNON AVIONICS DEFAULTS – (If needed) Use this option to start over.
Press the ACCEPT button to save any changes you make.
External Brightness Management
Because of the streamlined menu structure of SkyView SE, there is no menu button
available for manually adjusting the brightness of the SkyView SE display(s) and
Dynon Avionics panel units. In a SkyView SE system, if you wish to manually adjust
the brightness of your SkyView SE display(s) and Dynon Avionics panel units, you
must use a method of External Brightness Management as described below. The
easiest method to do so is to install a Dynon Avionics SV-KNOB-DIMMER.
The brightness level of SkyView and Dynon Avionics panel units can be increased or decreased
by applying 0 to 36 volts DC to a SkyView display’s DIM INPUT (Pin 25). Dynon Avionics offers
the SV-KNOB-DIMMER (P/N 102801-000) as a convenient way to use this feature. Instructions
for using External Brightness Management can be found later in this manual: Accessory
Installation and Configuration, SV-KNOB-DIMMER.
Top Bar Setup
The top bar is the strip across the top of the screen. It displays textual information such as the
clock, autopilot status, transponder, and COM radio status.
Enter the Top Bar Setup Page to configure the top bar (SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP >
TOP BAR SETUP).
Aircraft Information
Use the Aircraft Information Page (SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > AIRCRAFT INFORMATION)
to record important information about your aircraft.
The tail number must be present for SkyView network configuration and operation.
If you have more than one display in your SkyView system, the tail number only
needs to be set on the display that you initially perform the Network Configuration
