set to VP-X, the engine page trim widget will be automatically sourced from the VP-X
data.
ELEVATOR TRIM POSITION: Set to SkyView EMS if your trim position signal input is
routed to your SV-EMS-220 module, or to VP-X if it is connected to your VP-X system
instead. If set to VP-X, the engine page trim widget will be automatically sourced from

Post Installation Checks
Follow all installation, configuration, and test procedures as instructed by the Vertical
Power documentation.
Ensure that your VP-X system is powered on and functioning normally.
On a SkyView display that is displaying the Engine Page (enabled by toggling MENU >
SCREEN > ENGN PG), press to MENU > ENGINE > VP-X. The Engine page will
automatically re-arrange itself to show VP-X information as seen in the image below. If
the VP-X page is covered by a red “X”, the VP-X is either not communicating with
SkyView, is not properly configured, or is inoperative.
