SV-ARINC-429 Module Installation and Configuration
13-10 SkyView HDX System Installation Manual - Revision E
13.3 SV-ARINC-429 Related Settings
Go to the ARINC-429 SETUP under SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > ARINC-429.
SkyView supports up to two (2) SV-ARINC-429 modules, but since most aircraft will only
have one (1) installed, the “MODULE 2” section is normally disabled. If your aircraft does
actually have two (2) SV-ARINC-429 modules, note that the serial numbers of each
module are provided so you can determine which module is which.
For each module, Set INPUT1 to the type of device connected to the SV-ARINC-429’s
ARINC-429 RX 1 A and B inputs, any of GPS 1, 2, 3, 4 or NAV 1, 2, 3, 4. Optionally, you
can specify a “friendly” name for each navigation source using the NAVIGATION
SOURCE DISP NAME and specifying up to 7 characters. Examples include “430NAV”,
and “430GPS”. If a NAVIGATION SOURCE DISP NAME is specified, that will be
displayed on the HSI. If NAVIGATION SOURCE DISP NAME is not specified, GPS
1,2,3,4 / NAV 1, 2, 3, 4 will be displayed in the info item next to the HSI. For IFR GPS
navigators, particularly the Garmin GNS and GTN series, it is also used to describe the
device at the top of the Flight Plan window. Note that any GPS/NAV slots that are
highlighted in red are already being used for other devices. Also note that though POS X
is a possible setting, it should generally not be used for ARINC devices.
Next set the INPUT SPEED parameter (HIGH or LOW), based on the output speed of
your two (2) ARINC devices.
The SV-ARINC-429 has one (1) ARINC output channel with 2 sets of pins on the
connector for wiring convenience. If one (1) or both of your ARINC devices can accept
commands, configure OUTPUT SPEED appropriately.
If you have connected a device to ARINC-429 RX 2 A and B, repeat the above
configuration for the INPUT2 parameter; otherwise, leave it set to NONE.
ALLOW AUTO SWITCH: YES (LABEL 100P) / NO: If set to YES (LABEL 100P), SkyView
will automatically change whether data from INPUT1 or INPUT2 will be displayed.
• If the source transmits the “100P” label (such as Garmin 430/530/GTN series),
SkyView will automatically switch inputs per the label. This allows the inputs to
be remotely switched by data from the source, either when the CDI is changed,
or automatic transition on approach.
• If data is being transmitted to INPUT1, but no data is being transmitted to
INPUT2, INPUT1 will be displayed.
• If data is being transmitted to INPUT2, but no data is being transmitted to
INPUT1, INPUT2 will be displayed.
Your ARINC-429 capable GPS and/or NAV will need to be configured appropriately as
well.
