ICARUS (100ft) or ICARUS (10ft).
6. Press BACK or EXIT to save the settings.
Brightness Setup
Enter the Brightness Setup Page (SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > BRIGHTNESS SETUP)
to characterize the display’s backlight behavior. The backlight level can be adjusted manually by
the user, automatically by the display based on ambient light conditions, or by an external
control signal while on the Brightness Setup Page and in normal flight. Regardless of the
specified control method, users always have the option of manually adjusting the backlight level
in the Dim Menu.
Manual Brightness Management
To set the backlight light level so that it is exclusively controlled manually (i.e., no automatic or
external brightness control) set BRIGHTNESS SOURCE to MANUAL ONLY. In this mode, the
backlight level is managed exclusively by the user in all situations in the Dim Menu. Reference
the Basic Display Operation Procedures Section for instructions on how to manually adjust the
backlight level in the Dim Menu.
Automatic Brightness Management
To set the backlight level so that it automatically adjusts, set BRIGHTNESS SOURCE to AUTO OR
MANUAL. When this option is selected, dimming is normally controlled automatically via
ambient light detection, but it can also be controlled manually by using the Dim Menu. Dynon
has created a default dimming profile that should work well in most aircraft. If you find that this
profile does not work well in your installation, it can be customized to suit your preferences
using the tools on the Brightness Setup Page. This page displays several parameters, which are
listed and briefly explained below.
Current Brightness Sensor Value–This is an integer value ranging from 0 to 999 that
represents the amount of light sensed by the display’s integrated light sensor. Use this
value to characterize the ambient light levels in your installation during characterization.
Current Brightness Target–This is a percentage ranging from 0% to 100% that represents
the calculated target backlight level based on the sensed ambient light level and the
percent brightness sensor value map. The actual brightness never drops below 20%
when the Brightness Setup Page is displayed, even though the target value may be
below 20%.
