Traffic Devices
SkyView has the ability to receive aircraft traffic information from different devices, including
the SV-XPNDR-26X, the Zaon XRX (with the ZAON set to “Garmin” output), the Garmin GTX 330
transponder, and the Garrecht TRX-1500. If a device that can provide traffic is connected to
SkyView and configured (usually as a TIS serial traffic device under SETUP MENU > LOCAL
DISPLAY SETUP > SERIAL PORT SETUP), further traffic display options can be configured in
SETUP MENU > TRAFFIC SETUP. The traffic display on both the PFD and MAP pages can be set
to include just Traffic Advisories (TA), all targets, or no targets.
Only one device can provide traffic information to SkyView at a time. If you have
both the SV-XPNDR-26X and another traffic device installed, the non-Dynon device
will receive priority and be used as the traffic source.
SkyView Altitude Encoder Output Formats
There must be a SkyView ADAHRS in the system for the altitude encoder output to
function.
SkyView outputs its altitude measurements in two different formats. You can use either format
on any of the serial ports. These formats are described in Table 11 and Table 12. SkyView will
function properly whether or not this altitude encoder functionality is used.

Per ATC/FAA requirements, SkyView’s serial encoder output reports pressure altitude, which,
by definition, is indicated altitude when the baro is set to 29.92. So, when you set SkyView‘s
