SkyView HDX Display Operation
3-2 SkyView HDX Pilot’s User Guide – Revision B
• The largest, central portion of the screen presents PFD, Engine, and Moving Map data,
configuration information, menu and feature control pages, and many system
messages. Its layout is user configurable. Detailed instructions on how to configure the
layout of your screen are presented in a later section of this manual.
• Knob and button labels are arranged across the bottom of the display in a menu bar.
Knob and button functionality is contextual based on what is on screen, and these labels
show the user the current function. For example, the (MAP) label above the right knob
in Figure 1 – SkyView HDX Display Front Bezel Layout (SV-HDX1100 shown) shows that
manipulating that knob will affect what the user can see on the Moving Map page.
Throughout this manual, the buttons are referred to by their relative numbered
position, counting from left to right. Button 1 is the left-most button, and Button 8
is the right-most button.
The bottom menu bar initially displayed once the system is fully powered on is
referred to as the Main Menu.
Each SkyView HDX display has an integrated light-detecting sensor in the front bezel. This light
sensor can be used for automatic backlight level management. Reference the SkyView Classic /
SE / HDX System Installation Guide for instructions on how to configure the display for
automatic backlight level management.
