SkyView HDX Display Operation
3-4 SkyView HDX Pilot’s User Guide – Revision B
SkyView will not dim the display to a level that would cause it to be illegible for the ambient
lighting conditions.
On boot up, depending on your SkyView settings, the dimming offset will either be reset to zero
or retained from the previous session. See the SkyView Classic / SE / HDX System Installation
Guide for further information about the brightness settings.
Optionally, the brightness of the SkyView HDX (and the panel mounted modules) can be
adjusted by an external dim control. Also optionally, SkyView HDX’s ambient light sensor can
control other (not manufactured by Dynon Avionics) panel units (and other devices). See the
SkyView Classic / SE / HDX System Installation Guide for details on these options.
