SkyView HDX Display Operation
SkyView HDX Pilot’s User Guide – Revision B 3-11
groups the three options. The item selected will define the cockpit role and Primary Content of
the display.
Selecting items or command buttons on SkyView HDX’s touchable menu pages can
be accomplished in either of two ways:
• Touch the command button for the desired item. Command buttons are
square or rectangular boxes populated with a text label and sometimes also
with a graphical icon denoting the function, feature or menu controlled by
that button. In Figure 6 above, PFD, MAP, EMS, etc. are command buttons.
• Activate a movable cursor box by rotating the knob labeled CURSR. When
activated, the cursor is denoted by a white box which will form a border
around the selected command button or editable field. Once the desired
item is surrounded by the cursor box, press the knob to select that item.
Throughout SkyView HDX’s menu pages, a green bar at the top of a command
button (such as the PFD command button in Figure 6 above) denotes that the
function of the command button is selected/active. An unlit/no color bar in the
command button (such as the MAP command button in Figure 6 above) denotes
that the function of the command button is not selected/not active.
Next, select whether the primary content should be displayed on the left or right side of the
SkyView HDX display when you choose to split the screen 50% / 50%. That selection is made
from the buttons on the bottom row of the DISPLAY LAYOUT menu page in the box titled
“PRIMARY SIDE”. Select either LEFT or RIGHT. In Figure 6 above, LEFT is selected, with PFD as
the Primary Content.
Finally, choose your preference for three separate items on the middle row of the DISPLAY
LAYOUT menu page:
• SPLIT AT BOOT:
o Set to OFF to have a 100% wide presentation of the selected primary content
displayed at bootup.
o Set to ON to have the display arranged as 50% / 50% windows at bootup.
• MAP INFO COLUMN:
o Set to ON to have the MAP INFO COLUMN displayed.
o Set to OFF for the MAP INFO COLUMN to not be displayed at bootup.
• ENGINE BOTTOM BAND:
o Set to ON to have the ENGINE BOTTOM BAND displayed at bootup.
o Set to OFF to have the ENGINE BOTTOM BAND not displayed at bootup.
Note that selecting ON will override ENGINE being selected as PRIMARY
CONTENT or SPLIT CONTENT (see below).
