Dynon Avionics SkyView - EMS Sensor Input Mapping

SV-EMS-220 Installation and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision K 7-47
The EMS sensor definition file has a .sfg file extension. This file is not automatically
shared between displays. It must be loaded onto each display in the system.
EMS Sensor Input Mapping
In order to save installers time, Dynon provides preconfigured sensor mapping and
settings files which support popular four and six-cylinder engine installations. All of
the installations mentioned in the Example Engine Sensor and Transducer
Installations Section have preconfigured mapping and settings files that are
available for download at downloads.dynonavionics.com.
The file that contains sensor mapping, settings, and widget graphical properties
information has a .dfg file extension and is automatically shared between displays.
Installers do not need to transfer files between displays.
If your engine installation is listed in the Example Engine Sensor and Transducer Installations
Section, we recommend you install one of the sensor mapping and settings files onto the
SkyView display using the instruction found the How to Load and Delete Files Section. Then
update or modify the sensor map and settings based on your installation.
Note that it is critical that you should check every setting before operating your engine with
them as these files are only a starting point. While efforts were made to set up temperature,
pressure, and other ranges to reasonable starting points, Dynon makes no claim that they are
correct for your engine, as slightly different engines may have different limits.
Use this section as a guide when you review and update the sensor map and settings that were
sourced from the preconfigured file. Also use this section if you are creating a sensor map and
settings from scratch.
EMS Sensor Mapping Explanation
The SkyView system must be configured to map SV-EMS-220 pin numbers to physical sensors.
This section contains an explanation of what it means to define a sensor for mapping purposes
and also contains instructions on how to map sensors mentioned in this chapter to pins on the
SV-EMS-220. Mapping can be accomplished using two methods: you can use a premade file as
mentioned above or you can manually map engine sensors to EMS module pins.
All sensors and transducers are mapped in the Sensor Input Mapping Wizard. As mentioned
earlier, some pins are compatible with a variety of sensors, while other pins have fixed
functionality. A sensor is defined in the Sensor Input Mapping Wizard by the following
parameters:
 Pin #–the pin or set of pins the sensor is connected to
 Function–the phenomenon the sensor measures (e.g., pressure and temperature)
 Sensor–the physical part used, for example 0-80 PSI Fluid Pressure (100411-001)
 Name–a six character field that names the sensor for use by the pilot in flight.
